So on impulse, I took out my work pen which I brought back and I wrote down his license plate number while he was driving away, because you said that if he owned a car, you would, oh darn, what was it?. What, what did you say? I ca... I can't remember!::Mr. Conrad: I said I'd put a bomb in it and blow him up beyond dental records.

In 1986, In Brooklyn, New York, the dysfunctional family of pseudo intellectuals composed by the university professor Bernard and the prominent writer Joan split.

Their sons, the teenager Walt and the boy Frank, feel the separation and take side: Walt stays with Bernard, and Frank with Joan, and both are affected with abnormal behaviors. Frank drinks booze and smears with sperm the books in the library and a locker in the dress room of his school.

Meanwhile Joan has an affair with Frank's tennis teacher Ivan and Bernard with his student Lili.

The story takes place in a alternate postwar period, in 1996, where Japan is divided. Hokkaido is ruled by the "Union" while Honshu and other southern islands are under US authority. A tall tower was built on Hokkaido, which could even be seen from Tokyo. In the summer of 1996, three middle-school students make a promise that they'll cross the border with a self-constructed plane and unravel the tower's secret, but their project was abandoned after the girl, Sayuri Sawatari, became mysteriously ill and transferred to Tokyo. Years later on the brink of another war Hiroki Fujisawa finds out that Sayuri had been in coma since then, and he asks Takuya Shirakawa to help him finding a way to wake her up.

Dr. Albert Frock: The Kai tribe, Lieutenant, believe that headaches were caused by sorcery. So, the family of the headache victim would identify the sorcerer, and then go out and murder him. Of course, the kinfolk of the sorcerer would feel they had to avenge his death, so they would then go out and kill the headache victim, and I'm sure you can guess how it all turned out.::Lt. Vincent D'Agosta: What's that?::Dr. Albert Frock: Well, it's a medical miracle: everybody stopped having headaches.
Margo Green: What's that?::Lt. Vincent D'Agosta: Good-luck bullet.::Margo Green: Of course. Very superstitious. So, does your bullet have a story?::Lt. Vincent D'Agosta: I was on the beat my rookie year, and one night I see this guy who's locked his keys in his car with his motor running. He's got a coat hanger, and he's bent over the car, trying to get the lock off. So I go over, try to help him out, and what I didn't know was that he'd just robbed the liquor store a block away. He's so focused on what he's doing that he doesn't notice me until I'm right on top of him. I surprise him, he turns around...::[makes a gun with his finger and "pops" with his mouth]::Lt. Vincent D'Agosta: Point-blank range. Doesn't pop, though. Doesn't go off. This bullet.::Margo Green: So what did you do?::Lt.

I should be dead.::Margo Green: So, a miracle of physics?::Lt. Vincent D'Agosta: Maybe just plain, old-fashioned good luck.

When he heard his cry for help it wasn't human
In the basement of a university medical school Dr . Jessup floats naked in total darkness. The most terrifying experiment in the history of science is out of control... and the subject is himself
Quotes:
Eddie Jessup: The purpose of our suffering is only more suffering.
Arthur Rosenberg: The way I feel, I don't expect to go to sleep for a year. I'm on fucking fire!
Eddie Jessup: What dignifies the Yogic practices is that the belief system itself is not truly religious. There is no Buddhist God per se. It is the Self, the individual Mind, that contains immortality and ultimate truth.::Emily Jessup: What the hell is not religious about that? You've simply replaced God with the Original Self.::Eddie Jessup: Yes, but we've localized it. Now I know where the Self is. It's in our own minds. It's a form of human energy. Our atoms are six billion years old. We've got six billion years of memory in our minds.
Eddie Jessup: Memory is energy! It doesn't disappear - it's still in there. There's a physiological pathway to our earlier consciousnesses. There has to be; and I'm telling you it's in the goddamned limbic system.::Mason Parrish: You're a whacko!::Eddie Jessup: What's whacko about it, Mason? I'm a man in search of his true self. How archetypically American can you get? We're all trying to fulfill ourselves, understand ourselves, get in touch with ourselves, face the reality of ourselves, explore ourselves, expand ourselves. Ever since we dispensed with God we've got nothing but ourselves to explain this meaningless horror of life.
Eddie Jessup: You saved me. You redeemed me from the pit. I was in it, Emily. I was *in* that ultimate moment of terror that is the beginning of life. It is nothing. Simple, hideous nothing. The final truth of all things is that there is no final Truth. Truth is what's transitory. It's human life that is real. I don't want to frighten you, Emily, but what I'm trying to tell you is that moment of terror is a real and living horror, living and growing within me now, and the only thing that keeps it from devouring me is you.::Emily Jessup: Why don't you just come back to us?::Eddie Jessup: It's too late. I don't think I can get it out of me anymore. I can't live with it. The pain is too great.
[Last line]::Eddie Jessup: I love you Emily.
[First line]::Arthur Rosenberg: The tank itself was unusual in that it was vertical, and looked like an old boiler.
Eddie Jessup: Emily's quite content to go on with this life. She insists she's in love with me - whatever that is. What she means is she prefers the senseless pain we inflict on each other to the pain we would otherwise inflict on ourselves. But I'm not afraid of that solitary pain. In fact, if I don't strip myself of all this clatter and clutter and ridiculous ritual, I shall go out of my fucking mind. Does that answer your question, Arthur?::Arthur Rosenberg: What question was that?::Eddie Jessup: You asked me why I was getting divorced.::Arthur Rosenberg: Oh, listen, it's your life. I'm sorry I even asked.
Eddie Jessup: I haven't told anyone this in ten years. I'm telling you now because I think you have a right to know what kind of a nut you might be getting mixed up with here.::Emily Jessup: Arthur was right. You are a fascinating bastard. [kisses him]
Emily Jessup: [crying] He doesn't love me. He never loved me. I was never real to him. Nothing in the human experience is real to him.
