American Ultra Quote
Victoria Lasseter: Do you remember when you were arrested when you were 18 for the acid? That was when we first met. I was recruiting for a program called Wiseman. Which was basically designed to take third strike misdemeanor offenders and offer them the opportunity to volunteer.
Mike Howell: Volunteer? For what?
Victoria Lasseter: To be an experiment.
Mike Howell: An experiment?
Victoria Lasseter: Yeah.
Mike Howell: That was a mistake.
Victoria Lasseter: No, but Mike, you worked. All the other subjects that came in, they were all failures. But not you. You were a success, but it was driving you insane. It was driving everybody insane. The risks weren't worth the rewards. So I shut it down, and I gave you all new lives and new identities. A fresh start here.
Mike Howell: Yeah. So you erased my memories and you fucked with my head. And you left me here with a fake girlfriend.
Victoria Lasseter: This isn't who you always were. The slow thinking, the inability to leave town. The phobias. We did that to protect you.
Mike Howell: To protect me? Well, tell that to the guys who are trying to kill me.
Mike Howell: Volunteer? For what?
