The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan (1979)

Quotes

The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan

  • Beverly: You know, there's a theory that the past, present and future exist simultaneously, and if you only knew how, you could move from one to the other.
  • Mrs. Bates: Did you know a painter lived there once, an artist?
  • Jennie Logan: The attic is very much like an artist's studio.
  • Mrs. Bates: Oh, yes, yes. He was very talented, you know, studied in Paris and everything but unfortunately, he died young, still unknown, and only one of his paintings survived.
  • David Reynolds: You look lovely. Even wet.
  • Jennie Logan: There's so little time left.
  • David Reynolds: We have a world of time ahead of us.
  • Jennie Logan: Do you believe in immortality?
  • David Reynolds: I don't know. I can't imagine a heaven that wouldn't have trees and fields and oceans, just like the earth. Whenever I'm involved in a genuinely creative act, I feel like I'm part of something larger than myself, that I'm expressing part of some immortal creative force we've come to call God. I feel that when I make love to you. I think that's what the phrase "let your acts glorify God" really means. When you act out of love creatively, you express part of that immortal force.
  • Jennie Logan: I belong there. I don't want to live here in this time anymore. I feel warm there. By everything, by him, by the way the world was then. The kind of life I could have with him. I want to have his children, I want to grow old with him, I love him.
  • Michael Logan: You can't go away with him. You can't save him, he's already dead.
  • Realtor: Yeah, thank goodness symbols like this are preserved, else we wouldn't have anything else to remember the past by. My grandfather lived through those days, saw the new century come in, that's when folks began to realize that what they'd lived through was gone. Gone forever and no going back. 'Cept for right here, Reynolds House.
  • Michael Logan: You should see some of the dreams that I have.
  • Jennie Logan: This was so specific. I really felt like I was back in another century.
  • Michael Logan: Wouldn't you like that? That dress, this house - you're in a continual 19th-century mood. You got old on the brain, kid! No wonder you're dreaming about it.
  • Michael Logan: What should I believe, that you're some kind of backwards reincarnation? I might as well believe in the poltergeists that Beverly was talking about.
  • David Reynolds: This is very foolish, Elizabeth. Your father has detectives planted all over the place, I'm sure you'll be in their reports this evening.
  • Elizabeth Harrington: If that's the case, then the damage has been done. So let's have an enjoyable afternoon... as we always used to.
  • Michael Logan: You kissed the glass, that's a very strange thing to do!
  • Jennie Logan: It's possible to break through the barriers of time and space, I know that now, Michael!
  • Mrs. Bates: There's very little I don't know about this town. Aunt Betty used to tell me stories by the hour when I was a child. She's our town's oldest citizen, well over a hundred and her mind wanders, but she used to be a grand storyteller!
  • Jennie Logan: I didn't ask for this to happen to me. I'm not doing it. It just happens, it's real!
  • Realtor: I tell ya, most people don't want these big lovely old houses, consider 'em white elephants. That's why it's a steal at the price.
  • Michael Logan: Glass doesn't break just because it's old.
  • Don: I wouldn't live in this house, 'cause it's haunted.
  • Michael Logan: Don't laugh, I think it is.
  • Michael Logan: A psychiatrist? Well, I certainly don't think you have to do anything that drastic.
  • Jennie Logan: Thank you.
  • Michael Logan: For what?
  • Jennie Logan: For not thinking your wife is crazy.
  • David Reynolds: Pamela! Stay! I love you! Pamela!
  • Michael Logan: Jen, face it, you're creating some ideal man in your mind, some man that you can throw in my face.
  • Michael Logan: It hurts me to see this happening to you. If you allow this coincidence to influence your mind, you're going to get worse. I love you, I want you to get well, can't you see that?
  • Dr. Erica Lauren: You told me that whenever you wear the dress, it happens.
  • Jennie Logan: Yes.
  • Dr. Erica Lauren: Why don't you destroy the dress?
  • Dr. Erica Lauren: Listen, Jennie, the dress is the trigger that your subconscious uses to keep you from getting close to Michael.
  • Jennie Logan: So you're trying to tell me that I'm not really seeing this man that I know I am?
  • Dr. Erica Lauren: That is exactly what I'm telling you! It's an illusion of your own making. It's not reality, Jennie.
  • Jennie Logan: What is reality? What do we really know about this universe, what do we know about time or infinity? I mean, somebody just found a ring around Jupiter they never knew was there before. Isn't it possible that a door has been opened to me by some miracle, if you will, some kind of a door to the past?
  • Dr. Erica Lauren: Doors to the past do not open.
  • Jennie Logan: Men walk on the moon.
  • Dr. Erica Lauren: Real men, with real boots, in real machines.
  • Jennie Logan: How can you sit there and be so...
  • Dr. Erica Lauren: Narrow-minded?
  • Jennie Logan: I'll stay if you don't frighten me!
  • David Reynolds: I thought you were a ghost. Pamela's ghost. They thought I was going mad. I thought so too.
  • Jennie Logan: I'm sorry I wasn't Pamela.
  • David Reynolds: Since that first day on the road, seeing you, I've lived in a kind of unreal fever. I thought maybe Pamela had found a way to come back to me in whatever form the afterlife allows us. So, you see, I cannot be too happy to find that I was wrong.
  • David Reynolds: Today's been the nicest day I've spent in some time, for which you bear no small responsibility.
  • Elizabeth Harrington: I used to be David's favorite model, Miss Logan. That is, before my baby sister came back from finishing school and snatched him right from under my nose.
  • Elizabeth Harrington: Sorry, mustn't speak ill of the dead, must we?
  • David Reynolds: She wants you, you know.
  • David Reynolds: Poor Elizabeth. I think she feels there was more between us than actually existed. She's jealous of you. She has reason to be.
  • David Reynolds: I've only known you two days, I hardly know anything about you, but I feel as though I've known you for years, as though I've loved you for years.
  • David Reynolds: You're tempting fate by being here, Elizabeth.
  • Harrington: Tomorrow night, this town will celebrate the coming of a new century. For me, sir, it will be a double celebration, for tomorrow night, I will kill you.
  • Jennie Logan: You don't believe a word I've been saying.
  • David Reynolds: I believe that you believe it.
  • Jennie Logan: If the past still exists right now and I can go to him, couldn't I change what's gonna happen?
  • Elizabeth Harrington: I may have expected his anger, but never his cruelty!
  • Michael Logan: Jennie! Give me that dress! I'm gonna burn it!
