Quotes 

• Eric : Why is the date so important?

  Cameron Phillips : It's not. Unless it's the wrong date.

• Eric : Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.

  Cameron Phillips : Or die.

• Eric : If Stark wanted to kill Chandler, why take out 43 innocent people?

  Cameron Phillips : It happens.

• Eric : [of Myron Stark]  He could have been an immigrant. Came through Ellis Island, shortened his name, worked his way up from nothing... It's the immigrant spirit: single-minded pursuit of a goal, never giving up - buying into the American dream.

  Cameron Phillips : An effective strategy?

  Eric : Either that, or he robbed banks.

• Eric : [after planting that idea into Cameron's head]  You really think he robbed banks?

  Cameron Phillips : It's a very effective strategy.

  Eric : But why, what did he need it for?

  Cameron Phillips : To buy into the American dream.

• Cameron Phillips : [quoting 'Othello']  "The robbed that smile steal something from the thief."

• Cameron Phillips : [of Will Chandler]  400 people came to his funeral. He had a lot of friends.

  Eric : His father had a lot of money. There is a difference.

• Cameron Phillips : Do you ever think about dying?

  Eric : About what?

  Cameron Phillips : Or about suicide?

  Eric : Why would I think about that?

  Cameron Phillips : Because there's something wrong with you.

  Eric : Gee, don't ever look for work as a counselor.

• Eric : No wonder you don't have any friends. You can't just do things like that. You can't just show up whenever you need something. Can't carry a gun around and freak people out, and walk into the bathroom when a guy's taking a leak and ask him if he's gonna kill himself. And you can't just blurt things out like "You have cancer!" - especially to someone who's already had it. You have no clue, do you? You have no idea what it's like to have something inside of you - something that's damaged.

  Cameron Phillips : It's like a bomb... waiting to go off.
