Alphaville

movie still from Voyager
Alpha 60 Sometimes reality is too complex for oral communication. But legend embodies it in a form which enables it to spread all over the world.
Alpha 60 Time is like a circle which is endlessly described. The declining arc is the past. The inclining arc is the future.
Alpha 60 Everything has been said, provided words do not change their meanings, and meanings their words.
Alpha 60 Once we know the number one, we believe that we know the number two, because one plus one equals two. We forget that first we must know the meaning of plus.
Lemmy Caution (Eddie Constantine) I refuse to become what you call normal.
Alpha 60 What is your secret? Tell me, Mr. Caution.

Lemmy Caution Something which never changes, day or night. The past represents its future. It advances in a straight line, yet it ends by coming full circle.
Lemmy Caution Don't move. (He shoots.) That way I'm sure you'll keep your word.
Professor Von Braun (Howard Vernon) Men of your type will soon become extinct. You'll become something worse than dead. You'll become a legend.
Alpha 60 Time is the substance of which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along. But I am time. It's a tiger, tearing me apart; but I am the tiger.
Natacha Von Braun (Anna Karina) You're looking at me very strangely.

Lemmy Caution Yes.

Natacha Von Braun You're waiting for me to say something to you.

Lemmy Caution Yes.

Natacha Von Braun I don't know what to say. They're words I don't know. I wasn't taught them. Help me.

Lemmy Caution Impossible. Help yourself; then you will be saved. If you don't, you're as lost as the dead of Alphaville.

Natacha Von Braun I... love... you. I love you.
You are the th visitor since 4/19/98.
