Quotes:

[from trailer]::Pleasure: The girl with the future I can't see, enters my life.::Pleasure: On the same day, my visions fail me for the first time.

[from trailer]::Fingers: You have all the love in the world but that's not enough for you. So you took my friend and you turn him against me. And then what?

Sorrow: [to Pleasure] Did you know that scars are the roadmap to the soul?

[first lines]::Happiness: I always wondered, when a butterfly leaves the safety of its cocoon, does it realize how beautiful it has become? Or does it still just see itself as a caterpillar?

Pleasure: Is there something the matter?::Happiness: No. You're track record is perfect. And, with your stock market lock, we could... you could... maybe you should invest more.::Pleasure: No. Small amounts. Just keep it simple.::Happiness: It's just... how do you do it?::Pleasure: Sometimes risking everything is the only choice you have.::Happiness: But you don't seem to be taking any sort of chance?::Pleasure: I wasn't talking about me.

Happiness: So where does change come from? And how do we recognize it when it happens?

Happiness: [referring to the gun] What am I supposed to do with this?::Pleasure: I don't know anymore.

Happiness: Sometimes being totally fucked can be a liberating experience.

Pleasure: As far back as I can remember, I've never lost a fight. I didn't fight well because I was big or fast or mean. I fought well because I could see the future. The problem with seeing the future is that it only comes in bits and pieces, like a reflection in a broken mirror. After a while though it's like playing a video game in your head. Do it enough times and you know all the moves.

Pleasure: Sometimes the things you can't change end up changing you.

Quotes:

Ryan Flynn: No but I like the way things are... Here with you and Mel::Grandpa Randolph: No. You have a home, a family, a life. That mustn't be tossed aside because you are afraid of dying::Ryan Flynn: I won't go back!::Grandpa Randolph: Boy, the beauty of living is that you get to solve all of the world's myths. Let each have a tug at your insides. Take a shot at answering the questions of life and death.

Ryan Flynn: When I die, I don't want it to hurt.

Ryan Flynn: I don't see paradise, Grandpa. I want to... but I don't.::Grandpa Randolph: Patience.

Grandpa Randolph: Live your life, Ryan Flynn

Ryan Flynn: I'm not sure I understand anything Grandpa said. But at least I'm not afraid anymore. I figure he's in eternity. I almost grasp the meaning of it. But then it slips away. Maybe because I'm just a kid.

Ryan Flynn: I never saw the Fair Footed Flekk.::Melanie Lewis: Do you know what she looks like?::Ryan Flynn: No.::Melanie Lewis: Then how do you know you haven't already met her?

Grandpa Randolph: Once upon a time there were three men who decided to climb the tallest mountain in their country.::Ryan Flynn: Which mountain?::Grandpa Randolph: The tallest - that's the point. These fellows knew if they succeeded, they would be showered with wealth and power by the king.::Ryan Flynn: For climbing a mountain?::Grandpa Randolph: This happened a long time ago, when climbing a mountain wasn't a weekend sport. They even referred to the mission as a "quest for paradise."::Ryan Flynn: This is an honest to goodness fable, huh?::Grandpa Randolph: You'll see. Now, the king had a beautiful daughter, and he promised her hand to the bravest of the men.::Ryan Flynn: So even if the guy was an ugly toad with fart's breath, she'd have to marry him.::Grandpa Randolph: Yes, yes. Halfway up the mountain, one of the men turned to the guide and said he couldn't justify the strain of another day's hiking just for the king's good blessings.::Ryan Flynn: Go on, Grandpa.::Grandpa Randolph: Go on, go on, go on. Next morning, the second man decided to climb was foolish. Even if the king were offering pails of gold, he figured it wouldn't be worth spending from his deathbed. So, off he went. The last man... The last man was chipper as a fox in a chicken coop! Already counting his good graces... Anticipating wealth, wench, happiness!::Ryan Flynn: The guy's stylin'.::Grandpa Randolph: Guys stylin', yes. Well, his excitement was short-lived as the guide outlined the final day's journey. Treacherous. This fellow just shook his head in disgust. I mean, for a spoiled child bride, it would take all the king's money to keep her happy, anyway. So, without even a proper fare-thee-well, he turned on his heel and left the young guide alone. And you know what the guy did then?::Ryan Flynn: Bailed?::Grandpa Randolph: He went for it.::Ryan Flynn: Cool.::Grandpa Randolph: Cool! Yes.::Ryan Flynn: So, then what?::Grandpa Randolph: After two more days, he reached the precipice and discovered a weathered bench looked out over the countryside... cupped his hands and shouted, "What paradise is this?" He was answered by a beautiful voice. "What paradise do you seek?"::Ryan Flynn: The Fair Footed Flekk?::Grandpa Randolph: Yes, she skipped through the clouds as is she were light as air itself. She explained how the men he'd started with were glory seekers expecting paradise, but disappointed. Disappointed at the price. The young man was touched and moved as he looked out over this tiny piece of the world seeing with a clarity he'd never known. And a word trembled from his lips... Paradise.::Ryan Flynn: And the Fair Footed Flekk?::Grandpa Randolph: Gone... into the clouds. Memory.::Ryan Flynn: Climbing the mountain was his reward?::Grandpa Randolph: Climbing was his paradise.

Melanie Lewis: Make me a promise?::Ryan Flynn: Sure.::Melanie Lewis: If you decide you want the four seasons again...::Ryan Flynn: That mean jumping at the big top. Forget it. I'm never going home.::Melanie Lewis: But if you change your mind, promise me you'll tell me first?::Ryan Flynn: Why?::Melanie Lewis: I might consider going is all.

Ryan Flynn: That's impossible.::Grandpa Randolph: In the Dust Factory, anything is possible. You just have to unlearn your can's and can'ts.

Grandpa Randolph: Boy, boy, boy. Don't forget. You're on a quest for paradise.
