Faces in the Crowd

& Bryce: Shouldn’t you be handing out gold stars instead of earning yellow ribbons on FarmVille?
    Anna: I was just checking pre-delays in the subway!

& A doctor: Is that the same face you see?
    Anna: No.
    The doctor: Both photos are of the same man. What you are experiencing are symptoms of prosopagnosia.
    Bryce: Sorry, proso-what?
    The doctor: Prosopagnosia or face blindness. It-it’s an impairment in face perception... caused by a lesion on the temporal lobe. It’s this part of the brain that allows us in a nanosecond... to compare someone’s face with all of the faces stored in our memory.
    Bryce: You wanna dumb it down a little bit, Doc?
    The doctor: Every time you look at someone’s face... it’s as if you’ve never seen them before. Even someone close to you. Even your own reflection.

& Anna: Martinis at 11 a. m.?
    Nina: It’s almost midnight in Shanghai. Just drink up.

& Dr. Langenkamp: So, what was I supposed to see exactly?
    Anna: Well, l-l-l guess if I really have, uh, proso—
    Dr. Langenkamp: Prosopagnosia.
    Anna: Yes.
    Dr. Langenkamp: Well, you tell me. Can you or can you not see people’s faces?
    Anna: Well, of course I can see people’s faces. It’s just that they keep changing all the time.
    Dr. Langenkamp: So, you have the answer to your question. Cinnamon candy?


& Anna: But there must be some sort of treatment! Medication or—
    Dr. Langenkamp: Face blindness isn’t something you just catch, Miss Marchant. It’s something you lose.

& Dr. Langenkamp: Faces are the bar code of the human race. Ever since mankind went tribal... we’re constantly looking at each other’s faces... trying to decide whether they’re friends, foes or lovers. Don’t underestimate the seriousness of your condition, Miss Marchant.

& Dr. Langenkamp: Everyone always goes on about sight, hearing, smell. But there’s another sense. A hidden one. The Japanese call it “muga.” It’s the sense that allows you to walk... without having to think about putting one foot in front of the other.

& Dr. Langenkamp: What’s the first thing you look at in a man, after his face?
    Anna: My friends and I look at his butt.
    Dr. Langenkamp: Well, what else is there to look at?

& Nina: Hold it right there. You mean you get to bang a new guy every night... without ever cheating on your boyfriend?.. That’s like a dream come true.

& Kerrest: I can do wacko.

& Lanyon: You know what I think? I think you and Tearjerk Jack have something in common. You’re both in love with her, and that’s the only reason she’s still alive.

__ OK, Anna (by Milla Jovovich) had the Prosopagnosia, but she wasn't deaf, wasn't she?
