Mark "Itchy" Bredius wrote to the YML with the following information, which to date has neither been confirmed nor disproven by anyone else (so feel free to help out!).

He says that the woman's voice ("Everything you need is around you. The only danger is inside you.") is Mary Beth Hurt's, from a movie called "Lightsleeper", directed by Paul Schrader in 1992. It also starred Willem Dafoe and Susan Sarandon.

Mark also wrote that the male voice is Jeremy Irons' from the movie "Damage," from Louis Malle, also in 1992. Mark transcribed the passages this way:



Mike Portnoy also pointed out that the man and woman saying "What are you doing?" after the first verse are Robert DeNiro and Meryl Streep from the movie Falling In Love.

The low spoken parts, such as "Resistance", etc., at the beginning of the song, are Mike Portnoy.
