& Dr. Martin Harris: This man is not Martin Harris. I am Dr. Martin Harris.
    Prof. Bressler: So, what is this? There are two Martin Harrises, huh?

& Dr. Martin Harris: I don’t know who this man is, but he has taken everything from me.

& Ernst Jürgen: I was a former member of the Stasi... the Ministry for State Security.
    Dr. Martin Harris: East German secret police, huh?
    Ernst Jürgen: Yes. Proudly.

& Ernst Jürgen: I cannot drink any longer, but I like to forget that. We Germans are experts at forgetting. We forgot we were Nazis. Now we have forgotten 40 years of Communism, all gone. But it’s not just history that’s forgotten, it’s people too.

& Ernst Jürgen: I’m not sure how I can be of service.
    Dr. Martin Harris: I need you to help me prove I’m me.

& Dr. Martin Harris: Look, whoever’s been doing this, they’ve been planning it for some time. They have passports, credit cards, family photos, for God’s sakes. I mean, this takes preparation, doesn’t it?They have detailed knowledge of my research, my relationship with Professor...
    Ernst Jürgen: As well as the fact that you were going to have a random accident... that would allow a stranger to seamlessly take your place? These people may be good, but they are not God.

& Dr. Martin Harris: Do you believe me?
    Ernst Jürgen: In the Stasi, we had a basic principle: Ask enough questions and a man who is lying will eventually change his story... but a man who tells the truth cannot change his... However unlikely his story sounds.

& Rodney Cole: Oh, look at that. What kind of car is that?
    Ernst Jürgen: That’s a Volga GAZ-24. Suspension of a donkey cart and smelled like a tannery. Vanished as quickly as the Wall.

& Rodney Cole: This business with Martin is a hell of a thing. How did he find you? {...} Why did you take his case?
    Ernst Jürgen: Eh. Curiosity.
    Rodney Cole: Is that all?
    Ernst Jürgen: There’s not much in this world left to interest an old spy like me.

& Rodney Cole: You had time after I called you. Why didn’t you run?
    Ernst Jürgen: Where should l run from Section 15, Mr. Cole? I can hardly walk. Before we could get Chesterfields, I smoked 60 machorkas a day. Filthy Soviet things. Killed more Russians than Stalin.

& Rodney Cole: Cyanide...
    Ernst Jürgen: You never think you’ll have the courage to use it.
    Rodney Cole: But you do. The best of us do.

& Ernst Jürgen: What if he remembers everything?..

& Rodney Cole: There is no Martin Harris. He doesn’t exist.

& Dr. Martin Harris: Tell me... who am I?

& Martin B: Christ, you really don’t remember anything, do you?
    Dr. Martin Harris: I didn’t forget everything. I remember how to kill you, asshole.

& Gina: What matters is what you do now, Martin.

! Как тут не вспомнить описание экспериментов с памятью by olegart/Технический сказочник:

Человеческая память — это не архив с папками «хранить вечно», это даже не документальная кинохроника. Память — это художественный фильм, основанный на реальных событиях, причём сценарий для него ваш мозг переписывает каждый раз, когда вы пытаетесь что-нибудь вспомнить. И вы никогда не знаете — и не можете узнать — какая часть сценария реальна, а какую сценарист сам дописал, потому что ему показалось, что так будет красивее.
