Transcendence
Movie Quote Quiz

Audience Member: So you want to create a god? Your own god?
Will: That's a very good question. Isn't that what man has always done?

Agent Buchanan: We're all gonna need someone to blame when thing goes sideways.
Colonel Stevens: It's already sideways.

Max Waters: This thing is like any intelligence. It needs to grow, to advance. Right now it's settling somewhere it thinks it's safe from outside threats. Somewhere its massive appetite for power can be met. But it will want more than that. After a while survival won't be enough. It will expand, evolve, influence - perhaps the entire world.

Joseph Tagger: You are not being hacked... You are being helped.

Will Caster: Why did you lose faith Evelyn? Why didn't you believe in me?

Will: Look at the sky. The clouds. We're healing the ecosystem. Not harming it. Particles join the air, building themselves out of pollutant. Forests can be regrown. Water so pure, you can drink out of any river. This is your dream.

Joseph Tagger: My dear Evelyn... I don't know how to express the sadness I feel for your loss... for our loss. You must know that to Will... you were all that ever mattered. Your love and partnership was the kind the rest of us can only dream of. We lost a great mind, a great soul, but the spirit of this man will continue to inspire us.

Will Caster: My wife has always been eager to change the world. But I'll just settle for understanding it first.

Joseph Tagger: Will?
Will Caster: You surprised to see me, Joseph?
Joseph Tagger: Um... That depends.
Will Caster: On what?
Joseph Tagger: Can you prove you're self-aware?
Will Caster: That's a difficult question, Dr. Tagger. Can you prove that you are?
Evelyn Caster: Well, he certainly hasn't lost his sense of humor.

Max Waters: I spent my life trying to reduce the brain to a series of electrical impulses. I failed. Human emotion, it can contain illogical conflict. Can love someone, and yet hate the things that they've done. Machine can't reconcile that.
Evelyn Caster: Can you?
Max Waters: Yes.

Character mistake: The doctor diagnosing Will's illness tells Evelyn and Max that it's caused by "an isotope called polonium." Polonium is a chemical element, not an isotope. The word "isotope" refers to a form of an element (such as carbon-12 or carbon-14) not the element itself. It does not mean "radioactive substance", because many isotopes are stable. A doctor would know this. (00:17:00)
