Rob Coulter: "1984" was twenty years ago, Mr. Smith. Surely it's worth sacrificing a little privacy to feel safe.
	Season 3 / Episode 5: - Total Awareness Rob Coulter: Do you think you can stop the future? You take down Eyetrap, and there's going to be another program just like it on-line before the new year.

	Season 2 / Episode 18: - The Combination Johnny Smith: Uh, Mister Lewis! Bruce Lewis? Bruce Lewis: [smiling] Johnny. Johnny Smith: Hey, man. What's up? Bruce Lewis: Glad to see you. Johnny Smith: Me too. So, ah, your limo awaits, sir. Bruce Lewis: More like a busted-ass Jeep. But I'll take it.
	Season 2 / Episode 18: - The Combination Johnny Smith: I've made a self-fulfilling prophecy. You heard his trainer. One bit of doubt, one bit of hesitation and he's dead. And who planted that doubt in his head? Me. Danny Avila believes in me, in my prediction more than he believes in himself. So if this is a self-fulfilling prophecy, maybe it's the prophecy that needs to change. Bruce Lewis: Change how? You mean lie to him about what you're seeing? Make him believe the he's gonna win?

It's a hope. Like my Dad used to say, "What makes a hope reality is faith".

	Season 2 / Episode 17: - The Mountain Johnny Smith: Well, the fish aren't hungry, but I am.
	Season 2 / Episode 16: - The Hunt Colonel Burt Halsey: You're a psychometric, right? Touch-enabled cognitive episodes, visions with full-spectrum real-time feedback. Johnny Smith: Don't think I've ever heard it put quite that way before. Yeah.
	Season 2 / Episode 16: - The Hunt Johnny Smith: As a wise philosopher once said, "A man's gotta know his limitations." Sylvia: Which wise philosopher was that? Johnny Smith: Clint Eastwood, in "Magnum Force". Actually, maybe it was "Sudden Impact".
