Quotes 

• Stephen : Amazin'.

  Norman : It is amazing. Because it's just static frames, with darkness in between. But there's a little flaw in your optic nerve so that if I run the film at 24 frames per second you don't see the darkness.

  Stephen : Wow.

  Norman : It's called the Phi Phenomenon. Viewing static images rapidly in succession crates an illusion of motion. Illusion of life.

• Norman : I ran away.

  Hilary : Why?

  Norman : What?

  Hilary : Why?

  Norman : I can't remember.

• Norman : [enters Donald's exposé by Hilary]  Eh! Well, first reel's goin' off beautifully.
