Albert: So what is the "me"? Chris Nielsen: My brain I suppose. Albert: Your brain ? Your brain is a body part. Like your fingernail or your heart. Why is that the part that's you? Chris Nielsen: Because I have sort of a voice in my head, the part of me that thinks, that feels, that is aware that I exist at all. Albert: So if you're aware you exist, then you do. That's why you're still here.

Annie Nielsen: Dear Diary, I am writing in your bullshit pages because my shrink is crazier then I am. He thinks you're therapy. He figures if two babies can hammer me into a Psycho ward, what will I do with this ? He is so stupid. He's so stupid that he thinks he pulled me through the breakdown when it was Christy. Always. Only Chis. I was looking through his postcards. Paintings were his obsession. He used art as another way to love me, to help me. To keep us always together.
15
Chris Nielsen: Thank you for every kindness. Thank you for our children. For the first time I saw them. Thank you for being someone I was always proud to be with. For your guts, for your sweetness. For how you always looked, for how I always wanted to touch you. God, you were my life. I apologize for everytime I ever failed you. Especially this one...

Chris Nielsen: There's a man Ian never got to know, the man he was growing up to be. He's a good-looking clear-eyed fella... about 25. I can see him. He's the type of guy men want to be around, because he has integrity, you know ? He has character. You can't fake that. And he's a guy women want to be around, too. Because there's tenderness in him... respect... and loyalty, and courage. And women respond to that. Makes him a terrific husband, this guy. I see him as a father. That's where he really shines. See, when he looks in his kid's eyes and that kid knows that his dad really, really sees him... he sees who he is. Then that child knows that he is an amazing person. He's quite a guy... that I'll never get to meet. I wish I had.
17
Chris Nielsen: Where is God in all of this? Albert: Oh, He's up there. Somewhere... shouting down that He loves us. Wondering why we can't hear Him. You think?

The Tracker: You were expecting physical danger ? What could it do, kill ya, huh ? No, in Hell there's real danger. Of losing your mind.

The Tracker: You called your son Albert. Who is that ? Chris Nielsen: First doctor I interned under. He was like a father to me. The Tracker: Ah. His words were gold. A brillinat mind. Do you recall what he practiced before he turned to pediactrics ? Chris Nielsen: Child psychia-... The Tracker: ...psychiatry. Yeah. And he always was a slow reader. But these... [indicating his glasses] The Tracker: ...used to be rimless, and the rest of me... used to be black.
21
The Tracker: I also used to read too slow. I don't need these glasses. [taking off his glasses] The Tracker: ...my eyes being a figment of my imagination.
22
Chris Nielsen: When I was young, I met this beautiful girl at a lake.

26
The Tracker: This is the guy who doesn't give up.
27
The Tracker: Your wife love you as strong ? We'll find her. But when we find her nothing will make her recognize you. Nothing will break her denial. It's stronger than her love. In fact, reinforced by her love. You can say everything you long to say, including good-bye. Even if she can't understand it. And you'll have the satisfaction that you didn't give up. That has to be enough. Chris Nielsen: You just get me there, I'll decide what's enough.
