The Body in Question (1991)

Allan Miller: Elijah

Quotes 

• Dr. Joel Fleischman : [watching a family at the Seder during Passover]  Wait, wait! Don't drink that. That's for Elijah. Where's your cup?

  Elijah : This is my cup.

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : Oh, wait a minute...

  Elijah : They can't see me, Joel. Only you.

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : You are Elijah? If you're Elijah, where's the whole robes and the long beard?

  Elijah : You don't like my suit?

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : No, I-I-The suit's fine. I just-I didn't expect...

  Elijah : Come on, Joel. You didn't expect anything. You fill this cup every year. You open the door. But you certainly don't expect Elijah to come waltzing in. It flies in the face of reason.

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : What are you doing here?

  Elijah : I came to see you.

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : Me? Why?

  Elijah : Why not you? The question is, what are you going to do about it? You want to help prepare the way for the Messiah? Maybe you'd rather turn me into an amusement park, Joel. Sell autographed cups. "Elijah's back. Fleischman's got him." It's your call, Yo'el. Make your decision. The clock is ticking.
