- Austin: That's a new dress.
- Michelle: You like it?
- Austin: Yeah. The material's fire resistant, and I like the way the color washes out the pigment in your eyes.
- Michelle: Thanks... I think.
- [as he sledge-hammers a computer]
- Austin: Okay, pinhead, sing "Daisy."
- Austin: You want to find out something about someone, look in their dirt.
- Michelle: What kind of human being are you?
- Austin: When I was eight years old, I took off all my clothes and painted myself blue. Then I climbed up on the roof of a house, I placed both thumbs on the base of a lightning rod, and faced the electromagnetic north pole. Why? Why did I do that?
- Michelle: How should I know?
- Austin: Well, when you figure it out, then you'll know what kind of human being I am.
- John Bolt: Pride is one of the seven deadly sins, Mr. James. Or is it one of the seven dwarves? I can never remember.
- [Answering her boss' phone]
- Michelle: Austin James, master of time and space!
- [after her boss has another hyperactive burst of activity]
- Michelle: I see now. You can't help yourself. This happens all the time. You can't stop.
- [entering a morgue]
- Michelle: In a minute, I'm going to be sick.
- Austin: It's all in your head.
- Michelle: In a minute it'll be all over the floor.
- [referring to a computer]
- Michelle: I don't know what to say to it.
- Austin: Insult it, threaten it. Pretend you're talking to me.
- [in his workshop/laboratory]
- Austin: Why do men blink three times every ten seconds, and women only twice? What part of the brain is the soul located in? What was the blood-clotting mechanism of a tyranosaurus? Nobody knows. But the answers are here. And I'm going to find them. That's what kind of place this is. It's the universe!
- Austin: I'm going to take you on the greatest adventure of your life. You probably'll never even thank me. Let's go.
- John Blaine: You don't care about people, Austin. You don't see the suffering, the injustices. You sit in that warehouse like a spoiled god, while the world hurts.
- Michelle: A science groupie. I have seen everything.
- Austin: She's obviously done a lot of work on this. We have to encourage young minds, Micki. Give them a chance to tap our brains.
- Michelle: I think she may want to tap more than your brain.
- Michelle: I thought you never lied.
- Austin: I don't. It's just that sometimes I withhold the qualifiers.
- Michelle: For somebody who says facts are all that count, Mr. Jimmy Austin, you're the most deceitful person I know.
- Austin: I once determined that there are forty-nine different ways to misrepresent the truth. I only use six, way below the national average of thirty-two.
- Michelle: If you're so smart, how come you let a computer program chase you into a crummy laundromat?
- Michelle: You're not on drugs or anything, are you?
- Austin: I have fragmented REM cycles. I'm slightly schizophrenic.
- Michelle: Is that why you sleep in a tool cabinet?
- Austin: Sensory deprivation tank. Helps me dream.
