Hi folks--I put this together because I'm always frustrated by the 'digital entropy' of quotes online. It's surprisingly hard to find a 100% faithful transcription of a specific movie scene or a passage from a book. This is my attempt to create a small, high-fidelity record of a memorable scene, putting the film and the book side-by-side.
Something interesting about this film is the meta-context. In 2006, the casting of Robert Downey Jr. and Winona Ryder, both of whose careers had been derailed by personal struggles, lent the film a layer of reality. (The film's tagline was also "everything is not going to be ok"!)
And I had actually watched during the theatrical window back then--when PKD's author's note appears at the end, mourning his lost friends, I found it emotional.
