Old Man
- Old Man: [paraphrasing T.S. Eliot's "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats"] The naming of cats is a difficult matter, it's not just one of your holiday games. You may think at first I'm mad as a hatter, when I tell you that each cat's got three different names.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?
