Quotes

Dana Scully : You know, most people want to live forever.
Alfred Fellig : Most people are idiots. Which is one of the reasons I don't.
Dana Scully : I think you're wrong. How can you have too much life? There's too much to learn, to experience.
Alfred Fellig : Seventy-five years is enough. Take my word for it. You live forever, sooner or later, you start to think about the big thing you're missing and that everybody else gets to find out about but you.
Dana Scully : What about love?
Alfred Fellig : What, does that last forever? Forty years ago, I drove down to the City Hall, down to the Hall of Records, Record Archives, whatever they call it. I wanted to look up my wife. It bothered me I couldn't remember her name. Love lasts seventy-five years, if you're lucky. You don't want to be around when it's gone.

Dana Scully : Mr. Fellig, I know... that you know more about photography than I do, but this is just a lens flare.
Alfred Fellig : You're right. I do know more about photography than you do.
-
Dana Scully : You want me to believe that I am about to die?
Alfred Fellig : I just want to take the picture.
-
Alfred Fellig : [to Scully] Do you see him? Do you see him? Don't look. Close your eyes.
-
Dana Scully : Why take a picture of death?
Alfred Fellig : So I can look into his face, so I can die. Pills don't work, razors, bridges. I can't tell you how many bridges I've jumped off of. All I get is wet.
-
Dana Scully : Fellig, I don't know what you're planning, but nobody here's gonna die.
Alfred Fellig : I'm not planning anything. I'm just here to tell you what's gonna happen.
Dana Scully : That woman right there is going to be murdered?
Alfred Fellig : I didn't say murdered. She's a smoker, she might die of lung cancer. The how is always a surprise. I just always know when.

Alfred Fellig : [Fellig does a double-take at Scully who suddenly appears to be in black-and-white to him] Count your blessings.
