Long, long story. Reverend Purdy: I destroy my enemy when I make him my friend. [On Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura, who was a professional wrestler in the '70s] Johnny Smith: Let me get this straight. They elected a professional wrestler for governor?

Johnny Smith: The dog ate your computer? Bradford: Actually, I was going for rats. Johnny Smith: When did I turn into Boo Radley, huh?

You're always wrapped up in this 'Chicken Little' thing.

Johnny Smith: Who's Chicken Little? Dr. Tran: We know less about how the brain works than any other organ in the body. What seems to be clear is that your brain has found a new way to work. It's taking a detour around the damage and tapping into a region of the brain that humans don't normally use to handle sensory perception. In anyone else, this part of the brain might be considered a dead zone. In your brain, the dead zone is suddenly very much alive. Dr. Tran: Johnny, as a neurologist, there's only one thing I know less about than the brain. Johnny Smith: What's that? Dr. Tran: Your brain. Johnny Smith: Okay, one of my visions was a little off. Bruce Lewis: 'A little off'. Do you understand what it means in the context of the rest of humanity for your brain to be 'a little off'? That puts you in another galaxy far, far away. Johnny Smith: Do you believe in miracles, Reverend? Reverend Purdy: I'd have to, or I'd have to find a new line of work. Sara: Don't do anything foolish. Johnny Smith: Yeah, that's me. John 'Don't do anything foolish' Smith. Conrad: Are you a religious man? Johnny Smith: I am today, Conrad. Conrad: [talking about Sara] She's still got feelings for you. Johnny Smith: Why do you say that? Conrad: C'mon, what kind of psychic are you? Dana Bright: Johnny Smith. You had to go and piss off Mayberry. Johnny Smith: I can understand you. Shaman: When we die, we all sound the same. Dana: Tell me you weren't holding Sarah's hand while you were making love to me. Reverend Purdy: I know this isn't the life you would've chosen. But is the life that has chosen YOU. And you cannot deny the possibility that some other force is guiding you, choosing what you see. Johnny Smith: Just say his name Reverend, I know you're dying to. Reverend Purdy: Destiny, Johnny. It is your destiny to help people. I truly believe that. Greg Stillson: How's my future look these days? Johnny Smith: Not always so easy to tell. [while watching Greg Stillson discuss politics in Washington, DC] Johnny Smith: Did he just say "diddle"? Johnny Smith: One thing I've learned about you, Gene. If you don't know the people, then you know the people that know the people.
