David Dunn I see guys like you all the time in my work, you find someone you want to take advantage of, you tell them a fantastic story, and somewhere in there you say it, I just need your credit card number. A small down payment.

David Dunn You forgot the "Now I'm going to tell you what the hell is going on" step. See, that usually that comes before the, "It's over" Step. And it always, always comes before the "You can go" Step.

Okay.
David Dunn Do you remember me getting sick?
Audrey Dunn
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?
Audrey Dunn
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?
Audrey Dunn
Um... I think it means probably too tired to remember.
Mrs. Price
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.
Mrs. Price
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.
It has begun. Tell me something, David. When you woke up this morning... Was it still there? The sadness?
David Dunn No.
I think this is where we shake hands. [handshake]
Bar Patron
[flashback occurs upon shaking]
I worked in that building 25 years, I know all its secrets.
Secrets?
Bar Patron
Like, if there ever was a fire on floors 1, 2 or 3, everyone in that hotel would be burned alive.
Train Conductor
Passengers aren't allowed in there!
[flashbacks end]
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...?
I almost gave up hope. There were so many times I questioned myself...
David Dunn You killed all those people...
But I found you. So many sacrifices, just to find you.
David Dunn Jesus Christ...
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.
Joseph Dunn
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.
Joseph Dunn
No, you're not... Why do you keep saying that?
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.
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.
