Total Recall Quotes

Benny: Hey, Quaid! I'm gonna squash you!
Douglas Quaid: Benny! Here!
Benny: [shouts] Where the **** are you?
Douglas Quaid: [killing him with a large drill] Screw you!

Movie: Total Recall
Benny: You ever **** a mutant?

Movie: Total Recall
Lori: [Kicks Doug in the face] That's for making me come to Mars. [kicks his groin]

Movie: Total Recall
Tony: You got a lot of nerve showing your face around here, Hauser.
Douglas Quaid: Look who's talking.

Movie: Total Recall
Vilos Cohaagen: You see, Quaid, none of my people could get close to Kuato. ****ing mutants could always sniff us out. That's when Hauser and I sat down and invented you: Douglas Quaid, the perfect mole.
Douglas Quaid: You know you're lying. Hauser turned against you.
Vilos Cohaagen: No, Quaid. That's what we wanted you to think. The fact is Hauser volunteered to become Doug Quaid, to have all his memories erased. It was the only way to fool the psychics.
Douglas Quaid: Get your story straight. That idiot over there, Richter, has been trying to kill me ever since I went to Rekall. You don't send your own men to kill a mole you're trying to plant.
Vilos Cohaagen: That's because Richter wasn't in on it. You set him off by going to Rekall.
Douglas Quaid: So, why am I still alive?
Vilos Cohaagen: We gave you lots of help. Benny here with his driving skills and wits... that guy with the suitcase containing the money, the mask, the messages from Hauser... all of that was set up by us.
Douglas Quaid: Sorry. I still don't buy it. It's too perfect.
Vilos Cohaagen: Perfect my ass! You go to Rekall and pop your memory cap before we can activate you. Richter goes hog-wild trying to kill you, and screwing up everything I've been planning for over a year. Frankly, I'm amazed it worked!

Movie: Total Recall
Vilos Cohaagen: Don't touch that! Get away, get back!
Douglas Quaid: What are you afraid of? Turn it on.
Vilos Cohaagen: Impossible! Once the reaction starts, it'll spread to all the turbinium in the planet. Mars will go into global meltdown. That's why the aliens never turned it on.
Douglas Quaid: And you expect me to believe you?
Vilos Cohaagen: Who gives a **** what you believe? In thirty seconds you'll be dead, and I'll blow this place up and be home in time for Corn Flakes. [Shoots several inches near Quaid]
Vilos Cohaagen: I didn't want it to end this way, I wanted Hauser back, but no, you had to be Quaid!
Douglas Quaid: I am Quaid.
Vilos Cohaagen: You're nothing! You're nobody! You're a stupid dream! Well, all dreams come to an end.

Movie: Total Recall
Matthias: Mr. Hauser, What is it you want?
Doug Quaid: I want to help you.
Matthias: That is not the only reason you are here.
Doug Quaid: I want to remember.
Matthias: Why?
Doug Quaid: So I can be myself, be who I was.
Matthias: It is each man's quest to find out who he truly is, but the answer to that lies in the present, not in the past. As it is for all of us.
Doug Quaid: But the past tells us who we've become.
Matthias: The past is a construct of the mind. It blinds us. It fools us into believing it. But the heart wants to live in the present. Look there. You'll find your answer.

Movie: Total Recall
Doug Quaid: If I'm not me, then who the hell am I?
Lori Quaid: How would I know? I just work here.
Doug Quaid: Speculate.
Lori Quaid: If I had to guess, all the trouble Cohaagen's taken to hide you from the Resistance, you must be fairly important. And with your skill set, I think it's highly doubtful you're his gardener.
Doug Quaid: Cohaa... Cohaagen's trying to hide me? Why are you trying to kill me? Talk!
Lori Quaid: Call it the seven-year-itch, Doug. Oh. And by the way, you haven't even *begun* to see me try to kill you!

Lori Quaid: You might want to give your little girlfriend a kiss goodbye. As long as she doesn't mind where those lips have been.

Movie: Total Recall
Doug Quaid: Tell me what is going on? Talk! Or we can skip to Until death do us apart.
Lori Quaid: I'm not your wife.
Doug Quaid: That's bullshit. We've been married for seven years.
Lori Quaid: I'm U.F.B. police intel, assigned to play your wife. Six weeks ago. I didn't even know you.
Doug Quaid: What are you talking about?
Lori Quaid: It's true. Your memory was erased, your mind was implanted with a life you think you've lived. You keeping up, baby? There is no Douglas Quaid, there never was.
Doug Quaid: Are you saying I don't... This... Every... Our marriage...

Doug Quaid: Don't call me... My name is Doug Quaid. I was born August 29th. All right. I was raised by my mother. She died of cancer before my 15th birthday. I married my girlfriend when I was 29!
Melina: You were born April 29th. You were raised by your father, not your mother. He died before you were 15, but in a car crash. And believe me, you were most definitely not married.
