Quotes 

  • Marlon : [Emotional, almost to the point of tears]  The point is, I would gladly step in front of traffic for you Truman. And the last thing I would ever do to you...

    Christof : [Feeding Marlon his lines]  ... is lie to you.

    Marlon : ...is lie to you.

  • Marlon : Where the hell's Fiji? Near Florida?

    Truman : [pointing to golf ball]  See here?

    Marlon : Yeah.

    Truman : This is us...

    [guides finger halfway around ball] 

    Truman : and all the way around here... FIJI. You can't get any further away before you start coming back.

  • Marlon : Look at that sunset, Truman. It's perfect.

    Truman : Yeah.

    Marlon : That's the big guy. Quite a paint brush he's got.

  • Marlon : I mean, think about it, Truman. If everybody is in on it, I'd have to be in on it, too.

    [pause] 

    Marlon : I'm not in on it, Truman, because... there is no 'it'.

  • Christof : [Marlon suddenly discovers that Truman has escaped through a hole in his basement]  Don't look in the camera, say something! Keep it going, keep it going!

    Marlon : [to the lawn camera]  He's gone!

    Christof : Cut transmission!

    Control Room Director : Cut transmission?

    Christof : Cut it!

  • Marlon : It's all true. It's all real. Nothing here is fake. Nothing you see on this show is fake. It's merely controlled.

  • Truman : Maybe I'm being set up for something. You ever think about that, Marlon? Like your whole life has been building toward something?

    Marlon : No.

  • Truman : Maybe I'm losing my mind, but, it feels like the whole world revolves around me somehow.

    Marlon : That's a lot of world for one man, Truman. Sure that's not wishful thinking? You wishing you'd made somethin' more out of yourself? Come on, who hasn't sat in the john, had an imaginary interview on Seahaven Tonight? Who hasn't wanted to be somebody?
