Jeff Fahey in The Lawnmower Man (1992)

Quotes

The Lawnmower Man

Edit
  • Dr. Lawrence Angelo: This is all so new.
  • Jobe Smith: It's not new. I realized that nothing we've been doing is new. We haven't been tapping into new areas of the brain - we've just been awakening the most ancient. This technology is simply a route to powers that conjurers and alchemists used centuries ago. The human race lost that knowledge and now I'm reclaiming it through virtual reality.
  • Dr. Lawrence Angelo: You're moving too fast. Even with all these new abilities, there are dangers. Man may be able to evolve a thousand-fold through this technology, but the rush must be tempered with wisdom.
  • Jobe Smith: ...my birth cry will be the sound of every phone on this planet ringing in unison.
  • Jobe Smith: You realize, Dr. Angelo, that my intelligence has surpassed yours...
  • Jobe Smith: By the year 2001, there won't be a person on this planet who isn't hooked into it, and hooked into me.
  • Jobe Smith: This universe is mine. I am GOD here!
  • Dr. Lawrence Angelo: All this power isn't meant to be in the hands of one person!
  • Jobe Smith: You're wrong! You need to be led, just like everyone else, it's a basic need.
  • Dr. Lawrence Angelo: This technology was meant to expand human communication, but you're not even human any more! What you've become terrifies me. You're a freak!
  • Jobe Smith: Your naive idiocy makes me VERY ANGRY!
  • Jobe Smith: Ah, there he is. The "good" Father McKeen. Took in the poor idiot nobody wanted.
  • Father Francis McKeen: The devil has gotten inside you, Jobe. I can see it. It's that Dr. Angelo. He's corrupted you.
  • Jobe Smith: JUDGEMENT DAY IS HERE!
  • Caroline Angelo: Falling, floating, and flying? So, what's next, fucking?
  • Dr. Lawrence Angelo: ...so I'm taking my work underground. I can't let it fall into the wrong hands again.
  • Dr. Lawrence Angelo: Jobe, listen to yourself right now. The first sign of psychosis is a Christ complex.
  • Jobe Smith: CyberChrist.
  • Jobe Smith: Mind over matter Dr. Angelo, not a miracle - a fact.
  • Jobe Smith: This technology has peeled back a layer to reveal another universe. Virtual reality will grow, just as the telegraph grew to the telephone - as the radio to the TV - it will be everywhere.
  • Dr. Lawrence Angelo: You're having delusions, Jobe. Struggle for reason!
  • Jobe Smith: I sense your thoughts. What are you HIDING?
  • Jobe Smith: I saw God! I touched God!
  • Patrolman Cooley: Two bizarre murders in one night.
  • [Shortly thereafter he sees Jobe staring at him]
  • Patrolman Cooley: Two bizarre accidents in one night.
  • Jobe Smith: I'm sorry you hate... what you have created.
  • Jobe Smith: [after he possesses Jake's mind] Lawnmower Man is in your head now, Jake. There is no escape, ever.
  • Dr. Lawrence Angelo: He absorbed Latin yesterday in less than two hours. It took me a year just to learn the Latin alphabet.
  • Jobe Smith: I'm giving you one final game to play, I find a way out or I will die in this diseased mainframe
  • Jake Simpson: [to Jobe] What are you doing here? What, you going to do some night mowing? You're a strange motherfucker and I am too tired for this, Lawnmower Man. So why don't you take your silly ass and go trick-or-treating or something?
  • Terry McKeen: so let a boy have his books it dont hurt nothing. you should let him be a man he is one you know.
  • Jobe Smith: you should not hit people and should knock before you just enter someones house I pay rent here.
  • Dr. Lawrence Angelo: July. Last journal entry for a while. I won't let Jobe's death be for nothing. What happened to him is my responsibility. For some reason, I've been given a second chance, so I'm taking my work underground. I can't let it fall into the wrong hands again. If we can somehow embrace our wisdom instead of ignorance, this technology will free the mind of man... not enslave it.
  • Dr. Lawrence Angelo: Well I do have some other games to play job in fact I do have some games that could help make you smarter would you like that?
  • Father Francis McKeen: Let me see that book. I said let me see that we need to tell doctor Angelo that your hear to work not hear to read.
  • Dr. Lawrence Angelo: You know what it did to Roscoe 1138!
