The Man from Earth Quote
Dan: Wouldn't you have some relic, an artifact, to remind you of your earlier life? Like this maybe. [holding up bone tool]
John Oldman: Thrift shop. Really.
John Oldman: [lecturing now] If you lived a hundred, a thousand years, would you still have this? [holds up ballpoint pen]
John Oldman: What would cause you to keep it? As a memento to your beginnings, even if you didn't have a concept of beginnings? It would be gone. Lost. No. I don't have artifacts. Keep that. [tosses the ballpoint pen to Harry]
Dan: Interesting. You could have lied about that.
John Oldman: [totally serious] Don't talk about me while I'm gone.
