Vilos Cohaagen: Richter, do you know why I'm such a happy person? Richter: No, Sir. Vilos Cohaagen: Because I've got the greatest job in the solar system. As long as the Terbinium keeps flowing, I can do anything I want. *Anything*. In fact, the only thing I ever worry about is, that one day - if the rebels win, it all might end. And you're fucking making it happen!

Vilos Cohaagen: [Cohaagen has Quaid strapped into a memory machine and is about to turn him back into Hauser] Relax, Quaid. You'll like being Hauser. Douglas Quaid: The guy's a fucking asshole! Vilos Cohaagen: Not true. He's one of my best friends. Besides, he's got a big house and a Mercedes; & you like Melina, right? Well, you're going to get to fuck her every night. That's right, she's going to be Hauser's babe. Melina: [who is also strapped into a memory machine] I'll bust his balls. Vilos Cohaagen: Uh-uh, Princess. We're having you *fixed*. You're gonna be respectful, compliant, and appreciative... the way a woman *should* be. [she spits in his face]

Vilos Cohaagen: Don't touch that! Get away, get back! Douglas Quaid: What are you afraid of? Turn it on. Vilos Cohaagen: Impossible! Once the reaction starts, it'll spread to all the turbinium in the planet. Mars will go into global meltdown. That's why the aliens never turned it on. Douglas Quaid: And you expect me to believe you? Vilos Cohaagen: Who gives a shit what you believe? In thirty seconds you'll be dead, and I'll blow this place up and be home in time for corn flakes. I didn't want it to end this way, I wanted Hauser back, but no, you had to be Quaid! Douglas Quaid: I am Quaid. Vilos Cohaagen: You're nothing! You're nobody! You're a stupid dream! Well, all dreams come to an end.

[Quaid points a gun at Dr. Edgemar's head] Douglas Quaid: Suppose this is just a dream, and I pull the trigger, then it woundn't make any difference? Dr. Edgemar: It won't make any difference to me. But it will make a hell of a difference to you. Because here in your fantasy, I will be dead. And without me to guide you out, the walls of reality will eventually come crashing down around you. One minute, you'll be running from more assassins, next being part of the underground resistance, learning of the discovery of aliens in the Martian caves, learning that you're really Cohaagen's bussum buddy, defeating the bad guys, becoming the savior of Mars, but down on Earth at Rekall, you will be lobotomized! Now get a grip and put down that gun!

Douglas Quaid: Well, Cohaagen, I have to hand it to you. It's the best mindfuck yet. Vilos Cohaagen: Oh, don't take my word for it. Someone you trust wants to talk to you. Douglas Quaid: Who is it this time, my mother?
19
Douglas Quaid: Come on, Cohaagen! You got what you want. Give those people air! Vilos Cohaagen: My friend, in five minutes, you won't give a shit about the people. Fire it up, Doc! Richter: Excuse me, Doctor, is he gonna remember any of this? Doctor: Not a thing. Richter: Oh, really? [Punches Quaid in the face. Quaid glares back at Richter] Vilos Cohaagen: Oh, Quaid, I'm having a party tonight. Why don't you and Melina drop by? Remind him, Doc? Doctor: Sure. Richter: See you at the party.

Melina: Kuato's gonna make you remember some things you knew when you were Hauser. Douglas Quaid: Like what? Melina: All sorts of things, like maybe you'll remember that you loved me. Douglas Quaid: I don't need Kuato for that. Melina: Since when?
25
Kuato: What do you want, Mr. Quaid? Douglas Quaid: The same as you, to remember. Kuato: But why? Douglas Quaid: To be myself again. Kuato: You are what you do. A man is defined by his actions, not his memory.

35
[Quaid wakes up in a Johnnycab] Douglas Quaid: Where am I? Johnnycab: You're in a Johnnycab. Douglas Quaid: I mean, what am I doing here? Johnnycab: I'm sorry. Would you please rephrase the question? Douglas Quaid: How did I get in this taxi? Johnnycab: The door opened. You got in. [Johnnycab rolls his eyes]

Richter: I want that fucker dead! Helm: I don't blame you, man. I wouldn't want a guy like Quaid porkin' my old lady. Richter: You saying she likes it? Helm: No, I'm sure she hated every minute of it.
38
Vilos Cohaagen: Kuato wants what's in Quaid's head, and he might be able to get it 'cause they say he's psychic; and I have a plan to keep this from happening. Do you think you could play along? Richter: Yes, Sir. Vilos Cohaagen: Great, 'cause otherwise, I'll erase your ass.
39
Lori: Listen to me, Sweetheart. Those assholes at Rekall have fucked up your mind. You're having paranoid delusions. [Quaid holds up his bloodied hands] Douglas Quaid: You call this a delusion?

Melina: That was your wife? [Quaid nods] Melina: What a bitch!

Vilos Cohaagen: You see, Quaid, none of my people could get near Kuato. Fucking mutants could always sniff us out. That's when Hauser and I sat down and invented you: Douglas Quaid, the perfect mole. Douglas Quaid: You know you're lying. Hauser turned against you. Vilos Cohaagen: No, Quaid. That's exactly what we wanted you to think. The truth is Hauser volunteered to become Doug Quaid, to have all his memories erased. It was the only way to fool the psychics. Douglas Quaid: Get your story straight. That idiot over there, Richter, has been trying to kill me ever since I went to Rekall. You don't send your own men to kill a mole you're trying to plant. Vilos Cohaagen: That's because Richter wasn't in on it. You set him off by going to Rekall. Douglas Quaid: So, why am I still alive? Vilos Cohaagen: We gave you lots of help. Benny here with his driving skills and wits... that man on Earth with the suitcase containing the money, the mask, the messages from Hauser. All of that was set up by us. Douglas Quaid: Bullshit! I still don't buy it. It's too perfect. Vilos Cohaagen: Perfect my ass! You go to Rekall and pop your memory chip before we can activate you. Richter goes hog-wild and tries to kill you, bringing a lot of attention to us and ruining the plans I've spent a over year prepareing. To be perfectly honest, I'm amazed it worked!
42
Helm: Look at that shit! Richter: What the hell's this? Agent: The Martians love Kuato. They think he's fuckin' George Washington. Helm: Kill the bastard!
43
Douglas Quaid: Excuse me, what's that? Burly Miner: You mean the Pyramid Mine? I used to work there, until they found that alien shit inside. Douglas Quaid: Well, it's a rumor isn't it? Burly Miner: Ha, think so?
44
Benny: Hey, man, I got five kids to feed! [Quaid hands him a wad of cash] Douglas Quaid: Take them to the dentist.
45
Vilos Cohaagen: Well, my boy. You're a hero. Douglas Quaid: Fuck you. Vilos Cohaagen: Well, don't be modest.
46
[Benny shoots George/Kuato] Melina: How can you do this? You're a mutant. Benny: I got four kids to feed. Douglas Quaid: So what happened to number five? Benny: Aw, shit, man! You got me. I ain't even married. Now put your fuckin' hands in the air!
47
Harry: Hey, Quaid. Douglas Quaid: Harry. Harry: How was your trip to Mars? Douglas Quaid: What trip? Harry: You went on a trip to Rekall, remember? Douglas Quaid: I did? Harry: Yeah, you did. I told you not to, but you went anyway.
48
Douglas Quaid: Ever heard of Rekall? They sell those fake memories. Harry: Oh, "Rekall, Rekall, Rekall". Why? You thinking of going? Douglas Quaid: I don't know, maybe. Harry: Well don't. A friend of mine tried one their "special offers", nearly got himself lobotamised. Douglas Quaid: No shit? Harry: Don't fuck with your brain, pal. It ain't worth it. Douglas Quaid: I guess not.
49
Tony: You got a lot of nerve showing your face around here, Hauser. Douglas Quaid: Look who's talking.
50
Vilos Cohaagen: What the fuck is going on down there? Richter: I'm trying to neutralize a traitor, Sir. Vilos Cohaagen: If I wanted him dead, you moron, I wouldn't have dumped him on Earth. Richter: We can't let him run around. He knows too much. Vilos Cohaagen: Lori says he can't remember jack shit! Richter: That's now. In an hour, he could have total recall. Vilos Cohaagen: Listen to me, Richter, I want Quaid delivered alive for re-implantation. Have you got that? I want him back in place with Lori.
