Quotes:

[last lines]::Male Newscaster: Still no official word on when, or if, surrogate services can be restored. It appears, at least for now that we are on our own.

Female Counsel: Agent Greer, we're not doctors.::Tom Greer: Honey, I don't know what you are. I mean, for all I know, you could be some big, fat dude sitting in his stim chair with his dick hanging out.

[first lines]::The Prophet: Look at yourselves. Unplug from your chairs, get up and look in the mirror. What you see is how God made you. We're not meant to experience the world through a machine.

Big Woman: [aiming her shotgun] You're an abomination.

Older Canter: I changed the course of human history when I created surrogates. Now I'm going to change it back.::Tom Greer: You don't change what's been done. You and I know that better than most people.::Older Canter: My son's death will not have been in vain. Not if it heals mankind.::Tom Greer: Heals mankind? That's what you want to do? You want to kill everyone? That's going to heal mankind?::Older Canter: They're already dead. The died the minute they plugged into those machines.::Tom Greer: This is not the solution.::Older Canter: That's the way it is.::Tom Greer: That's not the way it is!::Older Canter: I had a vision. I was going to empower the powerless. To enable others like me to walk, to feel, to have a normal life.::Tom Greer: Listen to me! They're going to call you a murderer. That's what you're doing.::Older Canter: Surrogacy is a perversion. It's an addiction. And you have to kill the addict to kill the addiction.::Computer Voice: Upload complete.::Older Canter: You're too late. What I've done can't be stopped. Now you're going to be a witness to the rebirth of humanity. That's my gift to you.

Bobby: We just saved about a billion lives there.

Peters: That's far enough, Stone. I know who hired you to kill me. I hope my old partners at VSI paid you well. Did you feel any second of remorse when you found out you'd murdered an innocent boy?::Stone: Canter. I don't believe it. OK... How about you tell me something, doctor. Huh? What did you expect VSI to do? Just stand by while you tore down everything they built? You left us no choice but to take you out. You create this technology, change the world, and now you want to destroy it? So what? So you can take us backwards? So we can all live like dreads?::Peters: So we can live like human beings.::Stone: Really, doctor. You should learn how to live with your regrets.
