Professor Jules Hilbert: No, why did you change the book? Kay Eiffel: Lots of reasons. I realized I just couldn't do it. Professor Jules Hilbert: Because he's real? Kay Eiffel: Because it's a book about a man who doesn't know he's about to die and then dies. But if the man does know he's going to die and dies anyway, dies willingly, knowing he could stop it, then... I mean, isn't that the type of man you want to keep alive?
