Dr. Edgemar: [At Quaid's hotel door] Mr. Quaid?
Douglas Quaid: [Gets up from bed quickly and draws his gun] What?
Dr. Edgemar: I need to talk to you. It's about Mr. Hauser.
Douglas Quaid: Who are you?
Dr. Edgemar: Dr. Edgemar from Rekall.
Douglas Quaid: How did you find me?
Dr. Edgemar: That's a little hard to explain, but could you open the door?
[Quaid opens the door and points his gun at Edgemar]
Dr. Edgemar: I'm not armed.
[Quaid looks behind Edgemar]
Dr. Edgemar: Dont' worry, I'm alone. May I come in...
[Quaid takes Edgemar into his room]
Douglas Quaid: What do you want?
Dr. Edgemar: This might be difficult for you to accept, Mr. Quaid.
Douglas Quaid: I'm listening.
Dr. Edgemar: I'm afraid that you are not really standing here right now.
Douglas Quaid: You know doc, you could've fooled me.
Dr. Edgemar: Quite so. You're not here, and neither am I.
Douglas Quaid: Wow, that's amazing. Where are we?
Dr. Edgemar: At Rekall. You were strapped to an implant chair, and we're monitoring you from a psychic probe console.
Douglas Quaid: Oh, I get it. I'm dreaming, and this is a part of the delightful vacation package your company had sold me.
Dr. Edgemar: Not exactly. You have this dream sequence in your natural memory banks, and you're making this up as you go along.
Douglas Quaid: If this is my dream, then who the hell invited you?
Dr. Edgemar: I was sent in as a security measure. I'm afraid to tell you this Mr. Quaid, but you have suffered a schizoed embelism, we can't snap you out of your fantasy. I was sent here to try to talk you down.
Douglas Quaid: How much is Cohaagan paying you for this?
Dr. Edgemar: Think about it. Your dream began in the middle of the implant procedure, and everything that followed. The chases, the trip to Mars, the suite at the Hilton, was all a part of your holiday and ego trip, you paid to be a secret agent.
Douglas Quaid: Bullshit. It's coincidence.
Dr. Edgemar: What about the girl? Brunette, athletic, sleazy and demure just as you specified, is that a coincidence?
Douglas Quaid: No she's real. I dreamt about her before I even went to Rekall.
Dr. Edgemar: Mr. Quaid, can you hear yourself? She's real because you dreamt her.
