Nick Halloway : [narrating] I was a fugitive, afraid of getting caught. I kept imagining Jenkins leaping out at me from every dark corner. As a child, I would dream about being invisible. I thought it would be so easy. I could do what I want, go where I want and take what I want. But that's the catch. No matter how hungry I was, I couldn't give myself away.

[making out in the ladies' room of the Academy Club]
Alice Monroe : Nick, what are we doing?
Nick Halloway : I hope it's foreplay.
Alice Monroe : We should get back.

[resumes kissing her]
Alice Monroe : Let's not do anything cheap and meaningless.

David Jenkins : Listen to what we're offering you.
Nick Halloway : In exchange for what?
David Jenkins : For your services, of course, to your country. You have a wider obligation now. You can be of immeasurable value to us.
Nick Halloway : I'm not doing your spying.
David Jenkins : Suppose we'd had you, an invisible agent in 1939. Maybe there wouldn't have been a second World War.
Nick Halloway : What are you saying? You mean I would've killed Hitler for you?
David Jenkins : I mean maybe you could've saved thirty million lives. Changed history. Now, assassination, anything at all, is entirely ethical if you're on the right side.
Nick Halloway : Now you listen to me, you son of a bitch. I've lost everything, but my soul, and you're not gonna take that away from me. Whatever I become, it's gonna be my choice, not yours. Is that clear?
David Jenkins : Listen, we're prepared to give you anything you want. Everything you need. But you have to understand, if you won't work with us, I can't let you live.
Nick Halloway : [puts Jenkins in a choke hold] I don't sleep well. I can see through my eyelids, I can see through the top of my head. I get walleyed. I get bat-shit!
