"This is a good country for sheep and it's not bad for men, but it's hard on us women. The men come here because of the sheep, and we come here because of the men, and most of us finish up looking like the sheep. Wrinkled faces, knotty hair, and not even much of a mind of our own."

"Dina Merrill - Jean Halstead"

"Nothing is as revolting to the young than to see their elders at play."

"What happens to me if I fail your test?"

"There is nothing more human than the will to survive."

"Domhnall Gleeson - Caleb Smith"

"To erase the line between man and machine is to obscure the line between men and gods"

"Isn't it strange, to create something that hates you?"

"The trick of the film, the way that the film intends to work is to present something which is unambiguously a machine and then gradually remove your sense of Ava being a machine, even while you continue to see her being that way. And the sound design is a key part of that. You can hear ... the sounds of the bits of machinery moving, which aren't specified. They're not quite gears and cogs and pistons, they're something slightly odder than that. And there's also this pulse which is not dissimilar in some respects to a heartbeat, although it isn't a heartbeat."

"Alicia Vikander - Ava"

"A lot of the anxiety doesn't come from any real situation that A.I.s are about to take us over or the world is about to change because of A.I.s in any fundamental kind of way — not at the moment at any rate. It's got more to do with big tech companies and the Internet and search engines and social media and that kind of thing. I think there's a sense in which we feel that we don't understand how our cellphones and our laptops work ... but those things seem to understand a lot about us. Now that's not really about artificial intelligence, it's about tech paranoia. So somewhere in this I think I'm trying to look at that, too."

"One day the AI's are going to look back on us the same way we look at fossil skeletons on the plains of Africa. An upright ape living in dust with crude language and tools, all set for extinction."

"[about Ava's brain] Impulse. Response. Fluid. Imperfect. Patterned. Chaotic."

"Oscar Isaac - Nathan Bateman"

"It's funny. You know. No matter how rich you get, shit goes wrong. You can't insulate yourself from it. I used to think it was death and taxes you couldn't avoid, but it's actually death and shit."

"[after being stabbed] Okay. Fucking unreal. Okay. Ava..."

"Nothing I have done can be one half as bad as the thoughts in your head. I wouldn't have your thoughts!"

"You've found it, haven't you? Something like the truth? Does it surprise you? Shock you? It's there in everyone. You must know that better than anyone. Surely you know that, eh? Of course, you think just everyone else, not you. I suppose, being a policeman, you have to. Twenty years thinking you're different. It must get to be a habit, thinking, "Thank God I'm not those other men." It's difficult. It's dangerous. But you're just the same, you see. In some ways you're one hell of a lot worse."

"You think you're a hard case? I was shouting and swearing when you still wet your bed."

"Every single thing I've ever felt, wanted to feel, in one moment - hitting him. I had to hit him again. Somehow, I didn't have any choice. I wanted what he could give me, sitting there, letting me hit him. I wanted that. He knew. He was saying, like, "Welcome home." I had to kill him."

"They wouldn't know Christmas from pancake bloody Tuesday."

"The more I drink, the more sober I get."

"You're right about one thing. I don't want to be fair. I came here because I was told to go. I was told I had to talk to you. I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to waste 10 seconds on you. It makes me sick, Johnson, what you did. What you are turns my stomach."

"Here in a room like this one, you find something about yourself. Something like the truth."
