Marjorie Prime (2017)

Marjorie: ... And they loved her, and she loved them back for a long time. And then, like everything else, she died.

Walter Prime: There was a woman, Julia Roberts. For a while, it was always Julia Roberts...

Jon: Does it bother you that your mother is talking to a computer program, or that a computer program is pretending to be your dad?

Jon: [Marjorie] accepts it, because it's clever. Clever like a mirror, like a backboard. No, no it's more than that. It can look stuff up. It can talk to other Primes. It's like a child learning to talk, only does it so quickly. That's how we think we're talking to a human. The more you talk, the more it absorbs, including our imperfections. It can speak in fragments. It can use non-sequiturs. It can you know, misplace modifiers. It can--

Marjorie: There is someone in my mind. I'm trying to figure out who it is.

Walter Prime: Can you describe what I actually did?
Jon: Raping and pillaging.
Walter Prime: Excuse me?
Jon: That was Tess's joke when I first asked what you did. You evaluated financial statements, corporate investments for rich people. And you gave them advice on how to get richer.

Tess: Memory, sedimentary layers in the brain. You get in, you know it's there. You just have to--
Jon: No, no. I thought you knew the basic idea according to William James.
Tess: Maybe, once long ago.
Jon: William James had the idea, and it's been confirmed scientifically, that memory is not like a well that you dip into or a filing cabinet. When you remember something, you remember the memory. You remember the last time you remembered it, not the source. So it's always getting fuzzier, like a photocopy of a photocopy. It's never getting fresher or clearer. So even a very strong memory can be unreliable, because it's always in the process of dissolving.

Marjorie: I just remember sitting on one of those benches with your father, and not wanting to get up. Because if we got up, that would mean we'd have to start the rest of our lives.

Jon: Honestly Walter, all relationships, even the long lasting ones, are impossible. Marriages, friendships, people are constantly looking the other way, accepting some bad news, petty infringements, compromise, betrayal. You have to decide. You say, I want you, I want this. And then you work through all the disappointments and disasters. You work through it, against all odds.

Jon: I'm not drunk, you know. I'm just taking the edge off, I'm tipsy. There are degrees-- Tipsy, tipped, smashed.

Walter Prime: Nobody is who he was, nor will be who he is now.
