Melina : Hello, Hauser. Still bulging, I see.
[rubs his deltoid, then grabs his crotch]
Melina : What you been feeding this thing?
Douglas Quaid : Blondes.
Melina : I think it's still hungry.
-
[last lines]
Melina : I can't believe it, it's like a dream. What's wrong?
Douglas Quaid : I just had a terrible thought... what if this is a dream?
Melina : Well, then, kiss me quick before you wake up!

[the traitorous Benny shoots George/Kuato]
Benny : Congratulations, Quaid. You led us right to him.
Douglas Quaid : Benny? Why?
Melina : How can you do this? You're a mutant.
Benny : [shrugs] I got four kids to feed.
Douglas Quaid : So what happened to number five?
Benny : [laughs; beat] Aw, shit, man! Ha, ha! You got me. I'm not even married.
[serious tone]
Benny : Now, shut up and put your fucking hands in the air!

Vilos Cohaagen : [after Cohaagen's team kills Kuato] So this is the great man. Hmph. No wonder he kept out of sight. Well, my friend...
[puts his hands on Quaid's shoulders]
Vilos Cohaagen : ...you're a hero.
Douglas Quaid : Fuck you!
Vilos Cohaagen : Don't be modest. Kuato is dead. The resistance has been completely wiped out and you were the key to the whole thing.
Douglas Quaid : [to Melina] He's lying.
Melina : [to Quaid] You two-faced bastard!
Vilos Cohaagen : You can't blame him, princess.
[His finger grazes Melina's face]
Vilos Cohaagen : He's innocent. You see, Quaid, none of my people could get close to Kuato. Fuckin' mutants could always sniff us out. So Hauser and I sat down and invented you: the perfect mole.
Douglas Quaid : You know you're lying. Hauser turned against you.
Vilos Cohaagen : Uh-uh. That's what we wanted you to think. Fact is, Hauser volunteered to become "Doug Quaid." It was the only way to fool the psychics.
Douglas Quaid : Get your story straight.
[Points to Richter]
Douglas Quaid : This idiot has been trying to kill me ever since I went to Rekall. You don't kill someone you're trying to plant.
Vilos Cohaagen : He wasn't in on it. You set him off by going to Rekall.
Douglas Quaid : So, why I am still alive?
Vilos Cohaagen : We gave you lots of help.
[points to Benny]
Vilos Cohaagen : Benny here...
Benny : [to Quaid] My pleasure, man.
Vilos Cohaagen : The guy with the suitcase, the mask, the money, the message from Hauser. All of that was set up by us.
Douglas Quaid : Sorry. Too perfect.
Vilos Cohaagen : Perfect, my ass! You pop your memory cap before we can activate you. Richter goes hog-wild screwing up everything that I spent a year planning. Frankly... I'm amazed it worked!
Douglas Quaid : Well, Cohaagen. I've got to hand it to you. It's the best mind-fuck yet.

Vilos Cohaagen : [Cohaagen has Quaid strapped into a memory machine and is about to turn him back into Hauser] Relax, Quaid. You'll like being Hauser.
Douglas Quaid : The guy's a fucking asshole!
Vilos Cohaagen : Not true! He's one of my best friends. Besides, he's got a big house and a Mercedes and... you like Melina, right? Well, you get to fuck her every night. That's right, she's going to be Hauser's babe.
Melina : [also strapped into a memory machine] I'll bust his balls!
Vilos Cohaagen : Uh-uh, Princess. We're having you fixed. You're gonna be respectful, compliant, and appreciative... the way a woman should be.
[she spits in his face]
-
Melina : [as she and Quaid enter her room, she slaps Quaid on the side of the face] You son of a bitch! You're alive? I thought that Cohaagen tortured you to death!
Douglas Quaid : I guess he didn't.
Melina : And you couldn't give me a message? You didn't know what happened to me?
[hugs Quaid]
Melina : Hauser, thank God you're alive.
[starts kissing him and Quaid shoves her away]
Douglas Quaid : Melina, listen. I have something to tell you... I don't remember you.
Melina : What?
Douglas Quaid : I don't remember you. I don't remember us. I don't even remember me.
Melina : Did you get amnesia? How did you get here?
Douglas Quaid : Hauser left me a note.
Melina : Hauser? You're Hauser.
Douglas Quaid : Not anymore. Now I'm Quaid. Douglas Quaid.
Melina : Come on, Hauser. Have you lost your mind?
Douglas Quaid : I didn't lose my mind. Cohaagen stole it. He somehow found out that Hauser switched sides, so he turned him into another person... me. So, he dumped me on Earth with a wife and a lousy job...
Melina : [interrupting] Did you say wife? Are you fuckin' married?
Douglas Quaid : She wasn't really my wife.
Melina : She wasn't really your wife? How stupid of me! She was Hauser's wife?
Douglas Quaid : Let's just forget about her.
Melina : No, let's forget about everything. I'm sick of you and your goddamn lies!
-
Melina : Kuato's gonna make you remember some things you knew when you were Hauser.
Douglas Quaid : Like what?
Melina : All sorts of things, like maybe you'll remember that you loved me.
Douglas Quaid : I don't need Kuato for that.
Melina : Since when?
