[Borden shoots Angier in the waist, picking up the red rubber ball, when the two reveal their prestige to one another]

Robert Angier:
A brother... a twin. You were Fallon... the whole time?
Alfred Borden:
No. We were both Fallon. And we were both Borden.
Robert Angier:
[panting]
Were you - were you the one who went into the box or the one who came back out?
Alfred Borden:
We took turns. The trick is where we would swap.
[we see the flashback of both twins performing The Transported Man]

Robert Angier:
[breathing heavily]
Cutter knew. Cutter knew. But I told him it was too simple, too easy.
Alfred Borden:
No... simple, maybe, but not easy. There's nothing easy about two men sharing one life.
[we see the flashback showing one of the twins cutting the other twins' fingers off]

Robert Angier:
Wh-What about Olivia? And your wife?
Alfred Borden:
We each loved one of them.
[we see the flashback of both lovers]

Alfred Borden:
I loved Sarah. He loved Olivia. We each had half a full life, really, which was enough for us. Just... but not for them. You see, sacrifice, Robert - that's the price of a good trick. But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?
Robert Angier:
[labored breathing]
I've - I've made sacrifices.
[wheezing]

Robert Angier:
Yes.
Alfred Borden:
It takes nothing to steal another man's work.
Robert Angier:
It takes everything.
[we see the flashback of Angier killing the clone of himself while doing The Real Transported Man trick]

Robert Angier:
It took courage... it took courage to climb into that machine every night... not knowing... if I'd be the man in the box... or the prestige. Do you want - want to see. What it cost me? Y-you didn't see where you are, did you? Look. Look
Alfred Borden:
Look here... you went halfway around the world. You spent a fortune. You did terrible things... really terrible things, Robert. And all for nothing.
Robert Angier:
For nothing?
Alfred Borden:
Yeah.
Robert Angier:
You never understood... why we did this? The audience knows the truth - the world is simple... and miserable... solid all the way through. But if you could fool them, even for a second, then you can make them wonder. And then you... then you got to see something very special. You really don't know? It was... it was the look on their faces.
[Angier wheezes and exhales, collapsing dead, and Borden walks out of the theatre alone]
