Minority Report

John Anderton: You're under arrest for the future murder of Sarah Marks.

Agatha: Murder!!

John Anderton: No doubt the precogs have already seen this.
Lamar Burgess: No doubt.
John Anderton: You see the dilemma don't you. If you don't kill me, precogs were wrong and precrime is over. If you do kill me, you go away, but it proves the system works. The precogs were right. So, what are you going to do now? What's it worth? Just one more murder? You'll rot in hell with a halo, but people will still believe in precrime. All you have to do is kill me like they said you would. Except you know your own future, which means you can change it if you want to. You still have a choice Lamar. Like I did.

Officer Fletcher: Don't run, John.
John Anderton: You don't have to chase me.
Officer Fletcher: You don't have to run!
John Anderton: Everybody runs, Fletch.

John Anderton: He set me up. He set me up!

John Anderton: They set me up!

Director Burgess: Who's the victim?
John Anderton: I've never heard of him! But I'm supposed to kill him in less than thirty-six hours.

Director Burgess: You don't have to run John.
John Anderton: You don't have to chase me.

John Anderton: There hasn't been a murder in six years. The system, it is perfect.

John Anderton: The fact that you stopped it from falling doesn't mean it wasn't going to fall.

John Anderton: Why'd you catch that?
Danny Witwer: Because it was going to fall.
John Anderton: You sure?
Danny Witwer: Yeah.
John Anderton: But it didn't. Because you caught it. The fact that you stopped it from falling doesn't mean it was going to fall.

John Anderton: I need your help. You contain information. I need to know how to get at it.

John Anderton: I have to know. I have to find out what happened to my life.

John Anderton: What are you looking for?
Danny Witwer: Flaws. Do you ever get any false positives?

Agatha: Can you see?

Wally the Caretaker: I like you chief, you were always nice to me. So I'll give you two minutes before I hit the alarm.

Gideon: Careful, Chief. Dig up the past, all you get is dirty.

Agatha: Is this now?

Gideon: [describing John Doe] Okey pokey, now this is one bad man!

Lycon: [to John Anderton] In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

Director Burgess: [before shooting] Shh! Do you know what I hear? Nothing! No running up the stairs, no hoverships outside, no clickedy-click of spiders, and do you know why? Because right now... the precogs can see nothing!

Agatha: [to stranger in mall] He knows, don't go home.

Agatha: [to John Anderton] You still have a choice.

[Hundreds of contained prisoners rise up around Anderton and Gideon]
John Anderton: My God, I forgot there were so many.
Gideon: And just think, they'd all be out there killing people if it wasn't for you! Look at how peaceful they all are! But on the inside...
[taps his head]
Gideon: busy busy busy!

[Anderton gets wheeled into containment unit]
Gideon: You're part of my flock now, John.

[Officer Fletcher, on a jet pack, lands in front of Anderton]
John Anderton: Rough landing... have to work on that.
Officer Fletcher: Yeah, it's this shit knee of mine.

Dr. Iris Henimen: The precogs are never wrong. But sometimes they... disagree.

John Anderton: [to Agatha] For the last six years I've only thought about two things... what Sean would look like if he were alive today, and what I would do to the man who took him if I ever found him. You were right... I am going to kill this man.

Dr. Solomon: Now, you understand I can't just give you new irises. Because if I do, the retinal scans will read the scar tissue, alarms will go off, and large men with guns will appear.

[The readings Agatha is giving run quickly on a makeshift screen.]
John Anderton: These images are going too fast! Try to slow them down!
Rufus Riley: How do I slow them down, I should hit her on the head?

Agatha: I'm sorry, John, but you're going to have to run again.

[Dr. Solomon is about to transplant new eyes into Anderton]
John Anderton: I'd like to keep the old ones.
Dr. Solomon: Why?
John Anderton: Because my mother gave them to me.

Dr. Solomon: [to bandaged John Anderton] Never scratch!

John Anderton: I'm not being set up. I really am going to kill this man.

Leo Crow: You're not going to kill me.
John Anderton: Goodbye, Crow.

John Anderton: Don't you ever say his name!

Danny Witwer: Put the gun down John. I don't hear a red ball.

John Anderton: That's all, huh? Just walk right into Precrime, go into the Temple, somehow tap into the Precogs, and then download this Minority Report...
Dr. Iris Henimen: If... you have one.
John Anderton: and then walk out.
Dr. Iris Henimen: Actually, I think you'll have to run out, but yes, that's what you have to do.
