Carl Van Loon: You haven't asked the question.
Eddie Morra: Well, given the scale of my contribution, lets say forty five.
Carl Van Loon: Done. Forty five thousand dollars. Forty million is plenty, Eddie. There's a lot more where that came from. Now, Eddie, it may be on your mind that you're not gonna continue to work for me anymore.

sperm. Or whatever, or whoever wrote your life script. A gift. Not
earned. And you do not know what I know, because you have not earned
those powers. You're careless with those powers. You flaunt them and
then you throw them around like a brat with his trust fund. You haven't
had to climb up all the grease balls. You haven't been bored blind at
fund raiser. You haven't done the time and that first marriage to the
girl with the right father. You think you can leap over all on a single
bound. You haven't had to bribe or charm or threaten your way to the
seat at that table. You don't know how to assess your competition
because you haven't competed. Don't make me your competition. [Eddie looks at Van Loon, understanding his meaning]

Eddie Morra: Gettin' smarter!
[as he watches Gennady walking away]
Eddie Morra: [voice over] Obviously, this could not go on. But there's very little on this earth that forty million dollars can't solve. And tomorrow at nine, Atwood would sign the papers.
[after Atwood has failed to show up for the signing of the contract]
Mrs. Atwood: I wanted to make this as confidential as possible.

[to himself]
Eddie Morra: Well, why be surprised.
Eddie Morra: [voice over] How many other meteoric rises might be explained by NZT? At least I had some. My life wasn't in jeopardy. Only my money. And my liberty.
[standing in the police line up]
Eddie Morra: [voice over] Who was out there? The woman's husband? A hotel maid? Was this how it was all going to end?
Carl Van Loon: Atwood's in a coma. He wasn't playing us, he's dying. What do you know about this?

[as he's about to jump he stops himself]
Eddie Morra: [voice over] But we're instinctive creatures. We want to live. So m foggy brain tried to remember where one tablet of NZT might be. It was possible. And possible was enough.
[to Eddie after he's broken into Eddie's apartment]
Gennady: Now you know I want more. So why would you upset me? I don't like being down to this last one. You don't even know how to use it. You don't appreciate it. You see, I dissolve it in solution and shoot it. It goes straight up into the blood and brain. Lasts longer.
[to Eddie after he's set his men to look for the pills in Eddie's apartment]
Gennady: You know, these guys are gonna find it. Or I'm gonna make you tell me. Question is, which is gonna come first? I guess we're gonna find out, huh? It's a waste of my time, you know? I'm getting out of this side of the business. I'm branching out. I'm starting import, export company. Very exciting stuff. I got a lot on my plate. You're lucky I'm here.
[to Eddie as as his men are breaking into Eddie's safe]
[he walks towards Eddie with a torture knife]
Gennady: But don't worry, everything's sterilized. We're gonna keep you alive through the whole shebang. You're gonna get a front row seat, Eddie.
[suddenly Eddie stabs Gennady with a knife he'd kept hidden round his back, killing him]
Eddie Morra: [voice over] Not much of a triumph was it. Because I would die here too. Only NZT could help me and the last of it was in this thugs blood stream.
[after he's killed Gennady's men]
Eddie Morra: [voice over] The police would later note that my apartment's previous owner was an arms dealer. Of course, these intruders had dissatisfied clients. And the night was still young.
[at the hospital Eddie sits next to Atwoods man who's been following him]
Eddie Morra: I'm sure you're curious about what happened to your boss. I know I certainly am. I mean, if my attorney was really working for Mr Atwood, trying to save his life, why is he dead? I mean at what point was the pony express supposed to ride in with his life saving medication?
Eddie Morra: [voice over] His boss was dead. So, I didn't matter now. But he did not appreciate that Morris Brandt had kept the pills for himself.
[with the help of Atwoods man, Eddie finds his pills at Brandt's apartment]
Eddie Morra: [voice over] And it was all still possible.
[twelve months later Eddie's running for Senate and he meets Van Loon in his office]
Eddie Morra: What a surprise! They told me somebody from Ivan was coming.
Carl Van Loon: Of course. Yeah, that's me now. I'm moving out of the energy business.
Eddie Morra: Come on! That's like uh...Ed movin' out of the mansion.
Carl Van Loon: Yeah, I bought Ivan a couple of months ago. I'm surprised you didn't hear.
Eddie Morra: No. No. I...well, they really keep me hoppin' here.
Carl Van Loon: Well, it's gonna pay off, Senator Morra. The Senate. Well, who knows. Everythin's a technicality from here on in. Isn't it, Eddie? I think we both know where it's headed. If you can maintain. Have you asked yourself what you're gonna do when you run out?
Eddie Morra: When did you know?
Carl Van Loon: Does it matter? I know now. I wish you'd come to at first, Eddie. I could have bought Ivan at thirty three a share. We could have been partners.
Eddie Morra: So, Ivan makes NZT?
Carl Van Loon: Well, it'll never officially exist. Obviously, I don't need to point out the advantages for you.
Eddie Morra: Oh, I think maybe you do.
Carl Van Loon: Limitless supply. We know you can't get anymore.
Eddie Morra: You sure about that?
Carl Van Loon: They shut down your lab this morning.
Carl Van Loon: Eddie, I just want to help you, that's all. Keep your supply. No disruption in service, give you peace of mind. That's all.
Eddie Morra: And in return, wha...I do what?
Carl Van Loon: Give a little advice maybe. I won't be bothering you much at first.
Eddie Morra: And later, what are you gonna be bothering me with?
Carl Van Loon: Well, given where you're heading, some of our ideas are a bit ambitious. But hey, I think that they're achievable.
Eddie Morra: And what if I don't like your ideas?
Carl Van Loon: And then we'll say, God's speed. And your candle will have shed a brief but a lovely light. But you know what, Eddie? Let's not even go there right now. Right now, I just wanna keep you brilliant and healthy. Come on, let's go and get some lunch.
Carl Van Loon: What are you doing? Do you wanna be president of the United States or brain dead, stuck full of tubes?
Carl Van Loon: I told you, your chances don't exist. We shut down your lab.
Eddie Morra: You don't think some smart ass in NZT might have two or three or even four labs?
Carl Van Loon: So what? You're not making anymore.
Eddie Morra: That's right. I'm not. I thought better of it. See, once you know what's in it, you can tweak and re-engineer it, and get the bugs out. Taper off. I'm off it, Carl.
Carl Van Loon: Well, on it or off it, there's no scenario where you're not working for me.
Eddie Morra: How are you gonna pay me? In cigarettes?
Carl Van Loon: You wanna go to war with me?
Eddie Morra: And trust me when I say this, I'm not even being creative.
Carl Van Loon: There's no way you can be making accusations like that and be walking around alive.
Eddie Morra: That you would even think that shows me how unprepared you are to fight me.
Carl Van Loon: You are no longer equipped to fight me.
Eddie Morra: I may be off it, you think that I didn't learned anything? That my synapses didn't change? That I kept absolutely nothing?
Carl Van Loon: You have no idea what kind of enemy I can be.
Eddie Morra: That man's gonna rear in that taxi.
Carl Van Loon: What?
[referring to the van driving on the road next to them]
Eddie Morra: The drivers distracted. He's texting. He's going thirty miles an hour, he's sixty feet to stop. He doesn't have room.
Carl Van Loon: What van?
[the van driving suddenly crashes into the taxi ahead of him]
Eddie Morra: I see everything, Carl. I'm fifty moves ahead of you and everybody else. What makes you think I don't have a guy that can beat on you right now? How do you know that you're going to be alive this time next year?
[Eddie comes close to Van Loon and touches him on his chest]
Carl Van Loon: What are you doing? Get your hands off me! What are you doing?
Eddie Morra: Something is pumping half mass in there. Walls of your heart are dilated. Aortic stenosis. You're gonna need that replaced. But you already knew that.
Eddie Morra: You know you should really be glad about this. Cause me working for you? You'd end up as my bitch.
[Van Loon gives Eddie a look and gets into his car]
Carl Van Loon: Maybe we should cool off. Talk again.
Eddie Morra: I don't think so. Don't forget to vote.
[he shuts the car door]
[last lines; Eddie meets Lindy at a Chinese restaurant]
Lindy: How's your day going?
Eddie Morra: Ah, I've had better.
Lindy: I still can't deal with that hair cut. I wouldn't even recognize you on the street.
Eddie Morra: Well I'm a new man.
[a Chinese waiter comes to their table]
Lindy: I've already ordered.
[Eddie starts speaking in Chinese to the waiter and Lindy gives Eddie a look]
