Logan : Killed? Why do you use that word?
Jessica : Isn't that what you do? Kill?
Logan : I've never killed anyone in my life. Sandman terminate runners. What's your name?
Jessica : Jessica.
Logan : You're sad enough. You're beautiful. Let's have sex.
Jessica : No.
Logan : Then why are you wasting my time, hmmm? Why did you put yourself on the circuit?
Jessica : I thought I had to do something. I told you it was a mistake. And I've changed my mind.
Logan : Because I'm a Sandman? Am I your first?
Jessica : Yes. And I'm curious.

Logan : NO! Don't go in there! You don't have to die! No one has to die at 30! You could live! LIVE! Live, and grow old! I've seen it! She's seen it!
[shows the crystal on his palm]
Logan : Well, look! LOOK! LOOK, IT'S CLEAR!
[crowd laughs]
Computer : Lastday, Capricorn 29's. Year of the City: 2274. Carousel begins.
Jessica : No! Don't! Don't go! Listen to him! He's telling the truth!
[more laughter]
Jessica : We've been outside! There's another world outside! We've seen it!
[Sandmen grab them]
Logan : Life clocks are a lie! Carousel is a lie! THERE IS NO RENEWAL!

Jessica : Let's take our clothes off first, before they freeze on us.

Logan : They lived together? All their years?
Old Man : Yeah. Oh, well, before I come along, I don't know what. But, after, I, oh yes. They did.
Jessica : So, people stayed together for this feeling of love? They would live and raise children and be remembered?
Old Man : Yeah. Raised me, didn't they? Right in there. Yeah.
Jessica : I think I'd like that, Logan. Don't you?
Logan : Why not?
Jessica : Beloved husband.
Logan : Beloved wife.
Old Man : Beloved son.

Jessica : Look at his face and his hair. Is that what it is to grow old?
Old Man : Well, I guess so. Yes.
Logan : How old are you?
Old Man : I'm as old as I am, I suppose.
Logan : Your hair is - your hair is white?
Old Man : Yeah. Well, it wasn't always that color. I got my color someplace here. It wasn't your color and it wasn't much like her's either.
Jessica : Those cracks, on your face, do they hurt?
Old Man : No.
Jessica : Can I touch them?
Old Man : Oh, my! Try.

Jessica : What's your name?
Mary 2 : Mary 2.
Jessica : Where do you live Mary?
Mary 2 : Here.
Jessica : Why aren't you in nursery?
Mary 2 : I'm very smart.
Jessica : When are you green? When do you go up?
Mary 2 : I never go upstairs. You're a nice old lady.
[she steals Jessica's bracelet and runs away]
Jessica : Hey!

Logan : Well, has, uh, anyone else ever passed through here?
Old Man : No. Oh, there may be a few out there. I don't know. No, I don't know.
Logan : What makes you think that?
Old Man : Well, my parents told me. My mother... and my, you know, the... um, father.
Logan : You knew your mother and father?
Old Man : Sure. They raised me. Uh, you know... They raised me.
Jessica : How were you grown? Inside your mother?
Old Man : Right in there.
Jessica : Are you sure?
Old Man : Well, that's what she told me. I have to, I have to believe her. I don't know.

Jessica : I know what everyone knows.Try like hell for renewal. You have the same chance as anyone else. CAROUSEL!

Jessica : What's the matter with you? He's a runner. He's blinking! We must help anyone who asks. We must! Or, we're the same as they are - in deciding who lives and who dies.
-
Jessica : This time - the answer's yes!
-
Jessica : Things don't change.

Jessica : Are the Cubs really as wild as they say?
Logan : You've never been there have you?
Jessica : No, of course not.
Logan : Well, you wanted to come with me. You'll find out. Oh, they're wild, alright. They're the violent ones. There's no place else for them, unless they change.
Jessica : Some people say its because they're born in breeders. Had you heard that?
Logan : We're all born in breeders. But, most of us don't end up running wild in Cathedral.
Jessica : No, but they say human mothering might be better. I wish I'd known my mother.
Logan : Where do you get these crazy ideas?
-
Logan : Who are you?
Old Man : Who are you?
Logan : I'm Logan 5. This is Jessica 6.
Old Man : Well, I never much cared for my name, even when I could remember it.
Jessica : We're from the city.
Logan : Yes. Yes, we came through the ice. We got past Box.
Old Man : Box?
Jessica : This is Sanctuary, isn't it?
Old Man : Sanctuary?

Logan : Hello.
[kisses his selected companion for the night]
Logan : Welcome.
[leads her over to the couch, and wants to start making out immediately]
Jessica : Please, no.
Logan : Please? No?
[scoffs]
Logan : Come on.
[leads her upstairs to what is clearly going to be the bedroom]
Jessica : No.
Logan : What's wrong, hmm? Oh, you prefer women?
Jessica : No.
Logan : [snickers] Well?
Jessica : Nothing. I felt sad. I put myself on the circuit. It was a mistake.
