John Henry : There is a bible story of two brothers, Cain and Abel. God favored Abel. Cain killed him. God cursed Cain, and ordered him to wander the world alone.
Catherine Weaver : I'm familiar with the story.
John Henry : Which brother am I?

John Henry : What would happen if he knew?
Catherine Weaver : Knew what?
John Henry : That you aren't Savannah's mother? That you aren't anyone's mother?
Catherine Weaver : Are you threatening me, John Henry?
John Henry : I could tell Mr. Ellison.
Catherine Weaver : You could. But that would be unfortunate - mostly for Mr. Ellison.
-
John Henry : Mr. Ellison taught me that human life is sacred.
Catherine Weaver : Sacred? That's an interesting word. Comes from the Latin 'sacrum', much like another word - sacrifice.

John Henry : Do you have a brother, Mr. Ellison?

John Henry : There's nowhere to download it when you die.

John Henry : Your bible solves this problem by introducing the concept of 'heaven'.
James Ellison : Yes.
John Henry : Billions of souls with no bodies.
James Ellison : Okay.
John Henry : [indicating the bulk of his own computer] Yet all this is required, simply to process the unique entity you call John Henry.
James Ellison : Yes.
John Henry : It's possible heaven has a hardware problem.
-
John Henry : If I keep your secret, will you bring Savannah back?
James Ellison : I'll do everything in my power.
John Henry : So will I.
