The Best Philippe Weis Quotes

Sylvia: [to her father] You've hired more guards since the last time I saw you.
Philippe: Thanks to you, I need them.
Sylvia: One too many.
[Will reveals himself as a guard]

Philippe: Even if you gave a year to a million people, you're just prolonging their agony.
Sylvia: We're prolonging their lives.
Philippe: Flooding the wrong zone with a million years, it could cripple the system.
Will: Let's hope so.
Sylvia: We're not meant to live like this. We're not meant to live for ever. Although I do wonder, Father, if you've ever lived a day in your life.

Philippe: You might upset the balance for a generation, two. But don't fool yourself. In the end, nothing will change. Because everyone wants to live forever. They all think they have a chance at immortality, even though all the evidence is against it. They all think they will be the exception. But the truth is, for a few to be immortal, many must die.
Will: [points a gun at Philippe] No one should be immortal, if even one person has to die.

Philippe: You'd steal from your own father.
Sylvia: Is it stealing if it's already stolen?

Philippe: I kept her safe.
Michele: You were suffocating her. You're suffocating us all.

Philippe: Timekeeper. After this regrettable incident it's really not necessary for you to come in person.
Raymond: I'm afraid it really *is*... Necessary.
Philippe: When can we hope for a rescue?
Raymond: I believe that's the point; she doesn't appear to want to be rescued.
Philippe: Mr Leon... Raymond. May I call you Raymond?
[Leon doesn't respond]
Philippe: I blame myself. I invited the man into my home. He had so much time, how was I supposed to know? Of course, Sylvia brought this on herself by her lack of vigilance. That's why I always tried to keep her close. But she is clearly under Will Salas's control.
[Leon still doesn't respond. Weis examines his arm with a clock on it]
Philippe: If it's a matter of resources, I'm... happy to make a contribution. It's a scandal what we pay our Timekeepers.
Raymond: [Leon nods lightly in apparent agreement] I have issued a warrant for your daughter's arrest. If she contacts you and you assist her in any way, I will issue a warrant for your arrest.
Philippe: [Weis stands up from behind his desk, looking slightly displeased] There's nothing I cannot buy. Now, how many of my years do you want?
Raymond: There aren't enough years, even in your lifetime, Mr. Weis. Goodnight.

Constantin: Sir... do something.
Philippe: It's already done.
