Douglas Quaid:
That's right.
Dr. Edgemar:
Well, maybe this will convince you. Would you mind opening the door?
Douglas Quaid:
[Holds his gun to Edgemar's chin]
You open it.
Dr. Edgemar:
No need to be rude. I'll open it.
[Goes to the door and opens it, revealing Lori]
Douglas Quaid:
[shocked]
Oh, guessing that you're not here either.
Lori:
I'm here, at Rekall. I love you.
Douglas Quaid:
Right, that's why you tried to kill me.
Lori:
No. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you. I want you to come back to me.
Douglas Quaid:
Bullshit.
Dr. Edgemar:
What's bullshit, Mr. Quaid? Afraid to admit that you're having a schizo paranoid episode, or that you really are an invincible secret agent from Mars, who is in the middle of an interplanetary conspiracy to make him think that he's a lowly construction worker? Stop punishing yourself, Doug. You're a fine upstanding man. You have a beautiful wife who loves you. You have a whole life ahead of you. But you got to want to return to reality.
Douglas Quaid:
If I wanted to return, then what?
Dr. Edgemar:
[Takes out a red pill]
Swallow this.
Douglas Quaid:
What is it?
Dr. Edgemar:
It's a symbol for your desire to return to reality. In your dream, you'll fall asleep. Then, the rest is up to you.
[Quaid takes the pill]
Douglas Quaid:
Okay. Let's say you're telling the truth and this is all a dream.
[Puts his gun against Edgemar's head]
Douglas Quaid:
But I could pull this trigger and it won't matter.
Lori:
Doug... don't
Dr. Edgemar:
Oh, it wouldn't make the slightest difference to me Doug. But the consequences to you will be devastating. Because in your mind I'll be dead, and with no one to guide you out you'll be stuck here in permanent psychosis.
Lori:
Let Dr. Edgemar help you.
Dr. Edgemar:
The walls of reality will come crashing down. One minute, you'll be the savior of the rebel cause, and the next thing you know... you'll be Cohaagan's Bosom Buddy. You'll also have fantasies about alien civilizations... as you requested, but in the end back on Earth, you will be be lobotomized! So get a grip on yourself Doug and put down that gun!
[Quaid lowers his gun]
Dr. Edgemar:
Take the pill and put it in your mouth.
[Quaid puts the pill in his mouth]
Dr. Edgemar:
Swallow it.
[Quaid pans around between Edgemar and Lori, then as he sees a small sweat drop runs down Edgemar's face Quaid shoots Edgemar in the head, killing him, and spits the pill out]
Lori:
[shocked]
Now you've done it. Now you've done it!
