II. Read the cards. While viewing the film, try to recognize these phrases (cues) and memorize the episodes (the situations), where they are used.

Easy. I can't handle heavy conversation at this ungodly hour.

I'll tell you in another life, when we are both cats.

Don't tell anybody where I am. I don't care if God calls. I'm very, very busy.

Open your eyes

There are five basic emotions in life, David. Tell me, what emotion gripped him before he entered that cell? Was it guilt... hate... shame... revenge... love? I'm completely on the wrong track, aren't I?

- My own death was in front of me, and you know what happened? Your life flashed before my eyes. - How was it?

- Almost worth dying for.

He never watched television, and yet... his biggest magazine is still the TV Digest.

I don't think he ever got over the fact that I'm absolutely terrified of heights.

I became incompetent. Is there anything more unbecoming than an aging mascot?

But what they don't know is this… People will read again!

They even got a nickname for you behind your back.

And what's worse... is that I can't wake up.

That's how it works with parties - you have to be invited.

- She looks like a moth. - A moth?

- This is Joni Mitchell. This one is Monet. And this one... was done by me. It is a snowboard. - Well, two of them are geniuses. - That is the real thing. His paintbrush painted the vanilla sky.

- I got a stalker.

- It doesn't sound life threatening. - I need for you to pretend we are having a scintillating conversation and you are wildly entertained.

When will you call me? Don't say "soon." I hate it when you say "soon."

I'm real. I have two daughters... and you know that.

You wanna make it up to me?

But why'd you have to hit on Sofia?

You will never know the exquisite pain of the guy who goes home alone... because without the bitter, baby, the sweet ain't as sweet.

I just think good things will happen if you're a good person with a good attitude. Don't you think? You think I'm naive?

It's not the height that bothers me. It's the impact that terrifies me.

- I like your life. - Well, it's mine and you can't have it.

Well, you know, I'm a pleasure delayer.

- When did you change? - About five minutes ago. - Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.

Just our shortcomings, that's all we're allowed to draw.

…something you'd see on a wall in a steak house in hell.

- Jeff Buckley or Vicki Carr? - Both simultaneously.

How did it go with our moth girl? Did she turn into a butterfly for you?

No surgery could be performed because of the coma. You can't feel the darkness... or numbness. You can't even feel.

Well, if I weren't me, I would buy a CD by me.

My dreams are a cruel joke. They taunt me.

She drove off a bridge... and committed suicide with me in the car.

Somehow I can't play the violin for you.

What's happiness to you, David?

Even in my dreams, I'm an idiot who knows he's about to wake up to reality.

What is the answer to 99 out of 100 questions? Money.

Yes, well, the rumors of my death have been mildly exaggerated.

Doctors. Their power is in jargon, so you study up.

These are more than headaches. These are like steel plates slicing through my every thought.

This isn't about vanity. This is about functioning in the world. It's my job to be out there functioning.

It's great. This completely takes care of Halloween. But what about the other 364 days of the year?

It's sometimes useful in the early stages of rejection. It's a facial prosthetic. It was two weeks in the making.

I grew stronger in ways I'd never known before.

If you're embarrassed, just go. Nobody asked you to chaperone.

He's just lost a little bit of his friskiness.

Just invent something. Just play jazz.

It's been a real blast.

This is on the house.

- Do you like my music? - It's vivid.

Don't take it out on a girl you only met once.

This is a cheap ploy for sympathy.

Your eyes apologize better.

I remember. Somebody died. It was me.

What happened next was surreal.

He's got a good voice.

This is a revolution of the mind.

Wouldn't be you delaying something you were dreading?

And yet... maybe they're only here because you wanted them to be here.

Can you tell the difference between dreams and reality?

Sometimes the mind behaves as if it were in a dream. Faces change. People become other people. The subconscious is a powerful thing.

And now we're heading toward your true moment of choice.

That night, after Sofia left you and you fell asleep on the pavement...

I'm mortality as home entertainment? This cannot be the future! Can it? Can it?

You sculpted your Lucid Dream out of the iconography of your youth.

- We erased what really happened from your memory. - Erased?

- Replaced… By a better life under these beautiful, Monet-like skies.

- I'm Edmund Ventura from the Oasis Project. Formerly Life Extension, LE. - Tech support.

- Yes. Yes, I'm your tech support... and we first met 150 years ago.

- Consequences, David. It's the little things. - The little things. - There's nothing bigger, is there?

It's been a brilliant journey of self-awakening. And now you've simply got to ask yourself this…

It was she who somehow knew you best... and like you, she never forgot that one night... where true love seemed possible.

- Look at us. I'm frozen, and you're dead. And I love you. - It's a problem.

- And I chose this scenario, didn't I? - Yes, to face your last remaining fear of heights.

Your face and body can be fixed now, of course. But things are very different now...
