Unbreakable 2000 quotes

David Dunn

I wanted to ask you a question. It's gonna sound a little strange, just think about it for a second, okay?

Okay.

David Dunn

When's the last time I was sick? Do you remember?

Um, I don't know. It's been a while.

David Dunn

I haven't been sick this year, I know that.

Okay.

David Dunn

Do you remember me getting sick?

Um... not a specific day. What - what's this about?

David Dunn

Audrey, do you remember me ever getting sick? In the three years we lived in this house? In the old apartment? Before Joseph was born? Before we ever got married?

I - I can't remember.

David Dunn

Don't you think that's kind of weird, not remembering one cold or a fever or a sore throat? What do you think it means?

Um... I think it means probably too tired to remember.

Elijah Price

This is from Fritz Champion's own library. This is before the first issue of the comic book hit the stands in 1968. It's a classic depiction of good versus evil. Notice the square jaw of Slayer - common in most comic book heroes. And the slightly disproportionate size of Jaguaro's body to his head. This again is common, but only in villains... The thing to notice about this piece... The thing that makes it very, very special... is its realistic depiction of its figures. When the characters eventually made it into the magazine they were exaggerated... as always happens. This is vintage.

Wrap it up.

Elijah Price

You've made a considerably wise decision.

My kid's gonna go beserk.

Elijah Price

Once again, please?

My son, Jeb. It's a gift for him.

Elijah Price

How old is Jeb?

He's four.

Elijah Price

No. No, no, no, no, no. You need to go. Now.

What did I say?

Elijah Price

Do you see any Teletubbies in here? Do you see a slender plastic tag clipped to my shirt with my name printed on it? Do you see a little Asian child with a blank expression on his face sitting outside on a mechanical helicopter that shakes when you put quarters in it? No? Well, that's what you see at a toy store. And you must think you're in a toy store, because you're here shopping for an infant named Jeb. Now, one of us has made a gross error and wasted the other person's valuable time. This is an art gallery, my friend. And this is a piece of art.

Elijah Price

It has begun. Tell me something, David. When you woke up this morning... Was it still there? The sadness?

David Dunn

No.

Elijah Price

I think this is where we shake hands. [handshake]

I worked in that building 25 years, I know all its secrets.

Elijah Price

Secrets?

Like, if there ever was a fire on floors 1, 2 or 3, everyone in that hotel would be burned alive.

Passengers aren't allowed in there!

Elijah Price

You know what the scariest thing is? To not know your place in this world. To not know why you're here... That's... That's just an awful feeling.

David Dunn

What have you done...?

Elijah Price

I almost gave up hope. There were so many times I questioned myself...

David Dunn

You killed all those people...

Elijah Price

But I found you. So many sacrifices, just to find you.

David Dunn

Jesus Christ...

Elijah Price

Now that we know who you are, I know who I am. I'm not a mistake! It all makes sense! In a comic, you know how you can tell who the arch-villain's going to be? He's the exact opposite of the hero. And most times they're friends, like you and me! I should've known way back when... You know why, David? Because of the kids. They called me Mr Glass.

Elijah Price

Why is it, do you think, that of all the professions in the world you chose protection?

David Dunn

You are a very strange man.

Elijah Price

You could have been a tax accountant. You could have owned your own gym. You could have opened a chain of restaurants. You could've done of ten thousand things, but in the end, you chose to protect people. You made that decision, and I find that very, very interesting.

Do you think you could've beaten up Bruce Lee?

David Dunn

No.

I mean if you knew karate.

David Dunn

No.

Well, what if he wasn't allowed to kick and you were really mad at him?

David Dunn

No, Joseph.

I thought maybe because you're my dad... I thought I might be like you... I'm not like you...

David Dunn

You are like me. We can both get hurt. I'm just an ordinary man.

No, you're not... Why do you keep saying that?

This is one of Johann Davis's earliest drawings. See the villain's eyes? They're larger than the other characters'. They — insinuate a slightly skewed perspective on how they see the world. Just off normal.

David Dunn

Doesn't look scary.

Mm-hmm. That's what I said to my son. But he says there's always two kinds; there's the soldier villain — who fights the hero with his hands; and then there's the real threat — the brilliant and evil archenemy — who fights the hero with his mind.

Elijah Price

Can I tell you a secret? I'm going to be very, very sad if this doesn't work out the way I think.

Elijah Price

...Now all I need is a credit card number. [Dunn stares at him, pauses] The last one was a joke.

David Dunn

Friends listen to each other! And they don't shoot each other, do they Audrey?

Elijah Price

Go to where people are, you won't have to look very long. It's alright to be afraid, David, because this part won't be like a comic book. Real life doesn't fit into little boxes that were drawn for it.
