Eddie Morra: For a guy with a four digit IQ, I must have missed something. And I hadn't missed much. I'd come this close to having an impact on the world. And now the only thing I'd have an impact on was the sidewalk.

Eddie Morra: [to Carl Van Loon] No scenario? I see every scenario, I see fifty scenarios. That's what it does, Carl - it puts me fifty moves ahead of you.
Eddie Morra: I don't have delusions of grandeur, I have an actual recipe for grandeur.
Eddie Morra: You see that guy? That was me not so long ago. What kind o' guy without a drug or alcohol problem looks this way? Only a writer.
Eddie Morra: What was this drug? I couldn't stay messy on it, I hadn't had a cigarette in six hours, hadn't eaten, so... abstemious and tidy? What was this? A drug for people who wanted to be more anal retentive?
Lindy: Since when do you speak Italian?
Eddie Morra: Oh.
[chuckles]
Eddie Morra: Self-improvement month.
Carl Van Loon: Have you been talking to anyone?
Eddie Morra: No, I haven't been talking to anybody, Carl. I'm not stupid.
Carl Van Loon: I know you're not stupid, Eddie, but don't make the classic smart person's mistake thinking no one's smarter than you.
Eddie Morra: I wasn't high, I wasn't wired. Just clear. I knew what I needed to do and how to do it.
Carl Van Loon: You don't really live here, do you?
Eddie Morra: Well ah... the Spartans weren't really big on amenities.
Carl Van Loon: Yeah, and they eventually got their asses kicked.
[from trailer]
Eddie Morra: A tablet a day and I was limitless.
Eddie Morra: I was blind, but now I see.
Eddie Morra: [parting ways with Carl] You know, you should really be glad about this, 'cause - you know, me working for you? - you'd end up as my bitch.
[Eddie is distracted by a broadcast news report]
Carl Van Loon: You're not one of those kind of guys, are you Eddie? We lose you if there's a screen in the room?
Eddie Morra: Hotel rooms were no longer an option. What I needed was a bunker.
Eddie Morra: And what if I don't like your idea?
Carl Van Loon: And then we'll say, "Godspeed," and your candle will have shed a brief but lovely light.
[last lines]
Eddie Morra: [to Lindy after ordering in Chinese] What?
