Movie quotes

  • (..) Ssh! John, concentrate. I need you to concentrate. Close your eyes. What? Why? Why? What are you doing? I need you to maximise your visual memory. Try to picture what you saw. Can you picture it? Yeah. Can you remember it? Yes, definitely. Can you remember the pattern? Yes. How much can you remember it? Look, don't worry. Because the average human memory on visual matters is only % accurate. Well, don't worry, I remember all of it. Really? At least I would, if I could get to my pockets. I took a photograph. (..)
