• John Hurley : How much do you remember about the accident, Mr Edwards?

  Dana Edwards : Nothing.

  John Hurley : But that's not possible. You saw it. And everything we see is recorded in the mind, whether we're conscious that it's there or not.

  Dana Edwards : What good does that do if I can't remember it?

  John Hurley : Oh but you can remember it. You saw the license plate, didn't you?

  Dana Edwards : I'm not sure.

  John Hurley : It said in the paper you saw it but couldn't remember it.

  Dana Edwards : I'm not sure. I've been sitting here all week trying to remember, and I can't.

  John Hurley : Let me help you.

  Dana Edwards : How?

  John Hurley : Have you ever heard of total recall?

  Dana Edwards : Well, yes.

  John Hurley : Well I can teach you how it works. I can make you remember anything that ever happened to you. If you work with me, we'll be able to do it.

  Dana Edwards : Do what?

  John Hurley : Bring back the past. Day by day. We'll start with unimportant days but eventually, we'll get to the day of the accident. You'll relive it, moment by moment, right up to the second you saw the license plate, and then you'll remember it, and when you do, we'll catch a murderer!
