George: D'you believe in other lives?
George: No, I mean lives going on right now.
Joyce: Like being in two places at once?
George: More than two. A lot more.
Joyce: You must be a great broker, being in hundreds of places at once.
George: I'm talking about possible worlds. Each of us exists in an infinite number of possible worlds. In one world I'm talking to you right now but your arm is a little to the left, in another world you're interested in that man over there with the glasses, in another you stood me up two days ago -- and that's how I know your name
Joyce: When did you first realize you were more than one person?
Joyce: Must have been puberty.
George: I was writing a math test in the seventh grade and I was stuck on the last problem. I could see two possible ways of doing it, but I wasn't sure which would work. Half way through my calculations I suddenly saw myself doing the problem the other way. Only I wasn't actually seeing myself. For a moment I was actually doing the problem the other way. I looked at my hand and saw a scar. I remembered how I had gotten it. I remembered the dog that had bitten me. Only I'd never been bitten by a dog.
Joyce: How many lovers have you had?
George: That I can remember?
