| Goofs | He couldn't possibly answer questions put to him if he was moving backwards in time, as he would not yet have experienced it yet. He would only be able to answer questions not yet put to him (as the laying of cards exhibited). See more » |

| Quotes |
Otto Bloom:
You can spend your whole life dwelling on the past, but no amount of wallowing can ever change what's set in stone. We all have regrets. We all have disappointments. Things don't always turn out the way we'd hoped. Instead, they turn out the only way they can, which is the way they were always meant to. So, don't let yesterday take up too much of today. Inhale the future and exhale the past. Let every bruise make you stronger, every tear make you braver, and every heartbreak make you wiser. Because the only moment that truly matters is this one. Right now. See more » |
