Cris Johnson: There's an Italian painter, named Carlotti, and he uh, ahem, defined beauty. He said it was the summation of the parts working together in such a way that nothing needed to be added, taken away or altered, and that's you. You're beautiful.
Liz: Wow.
Cris Johnson: Here is the thing about the future. Every time you look at, it changes, because you looked at it, and that changes everything else.
Cris Johnson: I've seen every possible ending. None of them are good for you.
Cris Johnson: You don't believe in destiny?
Liz: Well, even if it does exist, I don't think I want to know. I mean, if every move we make is preordained, then what is the point of that? I mean, life is supposed to be a surprise.
[beat]
Liz: Isn't it?
Cris Johnson: It would be nice.
Cris Johnson: Every once in a while what we think is magic is the real deal hiding behind a $50.00 trick, because the alternative is impossible for others to live with.
Callie Ferris: Tell me what just happened. What did you see?
Cris Johnson: If I do what you want, you'll keep me in this chair forever.
Liz: You can see things before they happen?
Cris Johnson: Only my future... except with you. I saw far beyond anything I'd ever seen before. You need to get away from here.
Cris Johnson: [has a premonition of them sharing a kiss] Wow. That was incredible.
Liz: What was?
Cris Johnson: This.
[kisses her]
Cris Johnson: It may be a week, or a month, but if you can wait, I will find you.
Cris Johnson: [Chris knows he's about to be punched by Liz's stalker. Gritting his teeth] Incoming.
[gets punched in the face]
Cris Johnson: I like rain.
Liz: I like rain, too.
Callie Ferris: I believe that the urgency of this situation compels the use of any and all resources to obtain Cris Johnson.
Liz: I don't want you to die.
Cris Johnson: It happened. It just hasn't happened yet.
Cris Johnson: You have one way out of this.
[Mr. Smith holds up the detonator; Ferris shoots it out of his hand]
Cris Johnson: That wasn't it.
Wisdom: I need actionable intelligence, not paranormals and bullshit magicians.
Callie Ferris: With all due respect, sir, this bullshit magician's shown a pattern of advanced awareness that is statistically impossible. You let me bring him in and you'll get what you want.
Cris Johnson: Did you hear about the zen monk who ordered a hot dog? He said he had one with everything

Callie Ferris: Ready?
Cris Johnson: Yeah.
[first lines]
Emcee: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the man who knows what you're going to do before you do it. The amazing Frank Cadillac!
Callie Ferris: Don't do it.
Cris Johnson: I already have.
