Prof. Gary Shepherd: [lost while driving with Susannah] So relax. Close your eyes if you want. We'll get there. And if we don't get where we're going, we'll get somewhere else that's just as interesting.
Prof. Gary Shepherd: Oh. Whenever I try to take pictures of the moon it always ends up looking like a street lamp in a parking lot.

Prof. Gary Shepherd: What secret?

Susannah Hart: You all had so much more of him. More time. More memories. I feel cheated. And, uhm, I think a part of me hates you for it. All of you. It's wrong. It'll change. But right now...
Melissa Steadman: You shouldn't have come up here telling me he loved me. I mean, we should have all been huddled around you saying you how much he loved you. He did love you. Really. I think more than anything. Gary can't lie. He's transparent when it comes to that. There's no way he can hide anything. He gets that idiotic grin on his face... [realizing]... present tense.
Susannah Hart: I'm so angry at him. He changed everything in my life. I used to know exactly what I wanted and how to get it. But Gary... I started to become this other person with him. Now? What am I going to do now? He changes you then he goes.
Melissa Steadman: [shaking her head] You changed him.
