Quotes

• Kiki: This is incredible.

Sam: What?

Kiki: I've never seen a life line this long. You've got enough here for two people.

Sam: Maybe more.

Kiki: This isn't an accident that you're here. You're on a mission. Someone needs you.

Sam: Who?

Kiki: Well, I can't really tell, but they're close. You've seen a lot of pain, but you're not bitter. You're a searcher, a seeker of truth.

Sam: You see all that in my palm?

Kiki: Not all of it.
