Kdo jsem:
I found it.
What?
Eternity. It's the sun mingled... with the sea.
And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong, to measure yourself at least once, to find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions, facing the blind, deaf stone alone with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head.
Secure in the knowledge that we will be reunited with them, in a better world to come.
Well, Tim, the secret of the successful life is to find something that you love. And you have to do that for the rest of your life. And you'd better hope that you're good at it because if you're not, then you'll probably fail.
It's not funny.
It's a little funny.
It's, like, you know, when they say "two squared"... you think it means "two times two equals four"? But really, they really mean a square. It's really space. It's not numbers. It's space. And it's perfect space, but only in your head... 'cause you can't draw a perfect square in the material world. But in your mind, you can have perfect space.
It was just a normal day in Eureka.
Day's not over yet.
Yeah, like that was gonna last.
They're both named Steven. One with a v and one with a ph.
Shutruk Nahhunte. Is anyone familiar with this fellow? Texts are permissible. But you won't find it there. Shutruk Nahhunte! King! Sovereign of the land of Elam! Destroyer of Sippar! Behold, his accomplishments cannot be found in any history book. Why? Because great ambition and conquest without contribution is without significance. What will your contribution be? How will history remember you?
If I fell a little in love with you in the countryside, what would you do about it?
Anything. Everything.
Are you gonna die?
Definitely.
Hmm? What’d you say?
I said definitely.
Well with that kind of attitude you will. Don’t do it! It’s for suckers. Don’t do it.
What are YOU gonna do?
I'm going to count to three, ok? And if you don't say something to me... by the time I get to three... I'm going to kill you. One... two... two and a half...
Richard, your phone?
Mhm.
Oh, Beckett. Maybe it's a nice murder, darling. Brighten your day. Good boy.
Life is a journey, and there is no predicting the outcome. The only thing you can control are your choices, and they'll... they'll define who you are. I would just hate to see you so focused on the problem right in front of you that you completely miss the entire picture.
I need my mobile.
Your mobile what?
Hey, Capa. We're only stardust.
l'm thinking l could use a partner. You up for that?
l don't know anything about being a detective. There's nothing to it.
This being the 90s. You can't just walk up to a guy and smack him in the face. You got to say something cool first. You know what I mean?
Yeah. Like ''l'll be back.''
Did you say that you have the right to be an attorney?
You do have the right to be an attorney, if you want to.
Where'd you say you were again?
I didn't, Sergeant. Let's go.
But our secrets... that's what keeps us sane.
I come here and imagine that this is the spot where everything I've lost since my childhood has washed up. I tell myself if that were true, and I waited long enough, then a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field and gradually get larger until I'd see it was Tommy. He'd wave and maybe call. I don't let the fantasy go beyond that. I can't let it. I remind myself I was lucky to have had any time with him at all. What I'm not sure about is if our lives have been so different from the lives of the people we save. We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we've lived through or feel we've had enough time.
If you don't mind, I'd like to stop listening to you and start talking.
Oh, maybe you'd be interested to learn, why I chose history. I was in Europe, Germany, right at the end of the war. The second World War. I was about your age. And they were still digging the... the corpses, out of the, the rubble... and, women, and children, and... of course, babies and the only way that I could cope with what I was seeing, was to think of it... as history, as part of a... part of a story... And not just... bits of meat. And that's what we've been doing, telling stories.
My life extends far beyond the limitations of me.
So what's more likely?
An all-powerful mysterious God created the universe and then decided not to give any proof of his existence? Or that he simply doesn't exist at all and that we created him so we wouldn't have to feel so small and alone.
I don't know. I couldn't imagine living in a world where God didn't exist. I wouldn't want to.
How do you know you're not deluding yourself? I mean, for me... I'd need proof.
Proof? Did you love your father?
What?
Your Dad, did you love him?
Yes. Very much.
The world will break your heart ten ways to Sunday, that's guaranteed. And I can't begin to explain that. Or the craziness inside myself and everybody else, but guess what? Sunday is my favorite day again. I think of everything everyone did for me, and I feel like a very lucky guy.
Everybody's afraid of something. That's how we know we care about things... when we're afraid we'll lose them.
So listen, so here's the deal. This is what we should do. You should get off the train with me here in Vienna, and come check out the town.
What?
Come on. It'll be fun. Come on.
What would we do?
Umm, I don't know. All I know is I have to catch an Austrian Airlines flight tomorrow morning at 9:30 and I don't really have enough money for a hotel, so I was just gonna walk around, and it'd be a lot more fun if you came with me. And if I turn out to be some kind of psycho, you know, you just get on the next train. Alright, alright. Think of it like this: jump ahead, ten, twenty years, okay, and you're married. Only your marriage doesn't have that same energy that it used to have, you know... You start to blame your husband. You start to think about all those guys you've met in your life and what might have happened if you'd picked up with one of them, right? Well, I'm one of those guys. That's me, you know, so think of this as time travel, from then, to now, to find out what you're missing out on. See, what this really could be is a gigantic favour to both you and your future husband to find out that you're not missing out on anything. I'm just as big a loser as he is. Totally unmotivated, totally boring. And you made the right choice, and you're really happy.
...sometimes I worry that I'll get to the end of my life feeling I haven't done all I wanted to do.
I... I wanna paint more, I wanna play my guitar every day. I wanna learn Chinese. I wanna write more songs. There's so many things I wanna do, and I end up doing not much.
Porque me he pasado la vida buscando planetas invisibles. Mis ojos han visto cosas impresionantes. Pero nada es comparable con el cielo desde el Sahara. Allí fue donde conocí a lsaac. Habíamos contratado la misma excursión y nos pasamos la noche entera... contemplando el firmamento. Le dije si aquello no era lo más hermoso que había visto en su vida. Y él dijo: "Sí". Cuando me giré, me di cuenta de que llevaba un rato observándome y me puse nerviosísima. Y le pregunté... por qué no estaba contemplando el universo. Y él me contestó: "No necesito levantar la cabeza para hacerlo". "Puedo ver el universo en tus ojos."
La vida es como la espuma, por eso hay que darse como el mar.
The only way to be happy is to love. Unless you love, your life will flash by.
Isn't it frustrating there's so much you don't know?
No. Fills me with awe. How tedious would this world be without mystery.
...
Do you never doubt your calling?
Every morning and every evening. In between I work too hard to think about it.
Badges get flashed, guns come out, arrests get made. That's what we do.
So?
So, fabricated identity and what's really up collapses into one frame. You ready for that on this one?
Garabedian, what a pain in the ass.
You can be a pain in the ass, Mike.
...
Mitchell, what a surprise. How are you?
I'm fine, Mr. Rezendes.
Good. You know, I haven't heard back from you. I left you a couple of messages.
I know. I've been very busy. I don't have time for calls.
Oh, jeez, I'm sure you don't.
That's what I love about music.
What?
One of the most banal scenes is suddenly invested with so much meaning, you know? All these banalities, they're suddenly turned into these... these beautiful, effervescent pearls. From music. I've got to say, as I've gotten older, these pearls are just... becoming increasingly more and more rare to me.
More string than pearls?
Yeah. You've got to travel over a lot more string to get to the pearls. This moment is a pearl, Gretta.
If you could see your whole life from start to finish, would you change things?
What's your favourite thing about Earth?
You're the only one. I haven't really touched anyone since.
Do you think our sisters would have been friends? Marian, I mean.
So what? Your dead sister's too good for my dead sister?
...
I didn't kill Natalie.
I know.
You're beautiful. I'm sorry. That, just... It's a compliment, all right? Don't get any ideas.
So are you.
Grief is grief. It's... It's a hole that can't be filled, but over time, it'll shrink enough so that you won't fall in every time you take a step.
Mike, what's the pool on me up to right now? What... What's it up to? What is it, $300? Is that it, 300? I'm a school teacher. I teach English composition in this little town called Addley, Pennsylvania. The last 11 years, I've been at Thomas Alva Edison High School. I was the coach of the baseball team in the springtime. I'll be doggone. Back home, when I'd tell people what I do for a living, they'd think, "Well, that figures." But over here, it's a... a big... a big mystery. So I guess I've changed some. Sometimes I wonder if I've changed so much, my wife is even going to recognize me whenever it is I get back to her. And how I'll ever be able to... to tell her about days like today. Ah, Ryan... I don't know anything about Ryan. I don't care. The man means nothing to me. He's just a name. But if... you know, if going to Ramelle and... finding him so he can go home, if that earns me the right to get back to my wife, well then... then that's my mission. You want to leave? You want to go off and fight the war? All right. All right, I won't stop you. I'll even put in the paperwork. I just know that every man I kill, the farther away from home I feel.
I'm steady, calm. I slept well. No bad dreams. I am active and engaged. I'm aware of my surroundings and those in my immediate sphere. I'm attentive. I'm focused on the essential to the exclusion of all else. I'm unsure of the future but I'm not concerned. I will rely on those closest to me. And I will share their burdens as they share mine. I will live and love. Submit.
Just because my dreams are different than yours doesn't mean they're unimportant.
Our clients are the most discerning, wealthiest people in the Protectorate. They don't do anything as pedestrian as dying.
(...)
Which one are you?
The one you said goodbye to.
I will get you your transfers, your identities, and your sleeves.
At what price?
Remember what I said the last we spoke. That in time, even loves turns to dust. The price is... prove me wrong.
You mean it'll be difficult.
Well, this is not Mission Difficult, Mr. Hunt, it's Mission Impossible. Difficult should be a walk in the park for you.
Why is straight the default?
We worked together, we were partners, and...
And... and... and...
And we...
Oh!
Don't... don't do that.
Snap!
Don't do that. Don't look at me like that.
How many times? One time? Two times? Three times? Stop me at anytime, Linden. Four times? Five times?
You're such an idiot.
You are a human being. You're actual flesh and blood. I mean, I'm just as surprised as you are.
You jealous?
Oh, well played, Detective Linden. Well played.
Right. I'm gonna do some work if that's all right with you.
Do your thing, 1-900.
Tell me this is gonna work.
I have neither the information nor the confidence to do so, Doctor.
Don't lose faith in me.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to be such a pain, boys, um, but, uh... Our power problems, they've been so, uh... Ubiquitous and... Mendacious and polyglottal. Like a couple of donkey balls.
Received and understood, Rocinante.
...
War is an inherently unstable interaction of three things: intense emotion, politics, and luck. That message was luck. Maybe out there, away from all the politics and bullshit, luck opens a door and lets a couple of grunts figure out how not to fight. For once.
...
Look, if there's anything you need to get off your chest, I'm not much help, but I also don't judge.
It's a great quality, you know.
...
Do you think we're gonna die here?
Well, there's a lot more of them than there is us.
Hmm. I, um... I left a lot of people behind, to come out here. If we die, I won't get a chance to explain to them why I left. What I thought that I would gain. I left a lot unsaid.
Well, everyone leaves unfinished business. That's what dying is.
...
Take what we had and build on it. In that way, I'll still be there.
Are you apologizing for being human?
It is not our enemies that defeat us. It is our fear.
