In "The Adjustment Bureau," the characters wear hats that enable them to use doorways as portals to travel instantaneously to different locations. At 33:33 in the film, Matt Damon's character, David Norris, wears a hat with the letter "F." The letter "F" on the hat is likely a reference to the franchise of the New York Yankees, commonly known as the "NY" symbol. However, in the context of the film, it could also be interpreted as a subtle nod to fate or free will, key themes in the movie. The hats themselves are crucial to the plot, allowing the characters to access the hidden world of The Adjustment Bureau and its manipulations.

We're going to bring this to Thompson. Thompson? When he was in the field, his nickname was...
54:44
"The Hammer," yes. He'll crush this little romance with a flick of his hand
54:49
and force them back on plan again. I want to go to a club. Oh! Why ruin a really nice day?
54:55
No, I don't dance. Everyone can dance. You just feel the music.
55:01
Well, I've been told that I have trouble feeling. Who told you that? A long list of women.
55:06
That's gross. You know what? Let's race to that lamppost.
55:11
You win, I dance for you. I win, you dance for me.
55:17
On the pole? If you like, yeah. This is serious. What are the rules? There are no rules.
55:24
Oh! You bastard! Oh, my gosh! (BOTH LAUGHING)
55:29
You challenged me in those shoes? Okay, fine. I can't. You're right. These are the wrong shoes. I'm going to twist an ankle.
55:35
You said, "No rules." I avoided them. Ow!
55:40
You said you had trouble feeling. Great.
55:52
Hey, David. You're even cuter in person. MAN: Hey, it's David Norris. How you doing? How are you?
55:59
ELISE: How are we feeling about this tie? MAN 2: Hey, David Norris! DAVID: Hey, how you doing? Maybe I should go home and get my tux.
56:05
Definitely don't do that. It's good. I should never have come back here again without my backup dancers.
56:15
I voted for you. How are you?
56:25
(PEOPLE CHEERING) MAN 3: Norris, you're a rock star!
56:36
Did you grow up over here? Yeah, three blocks over that way. Pioneer Street.
56:41
My whole childhood. What were you like as a kid? I've spent about half my time in the principal's office
56:48
up until the sixth grade. Wow. Yeah, that was when my mother and my brother died
56:54
within a month of each other. I'm sorry. No, it's fine. You know how I always tell that story
57:01
about how I got inspired to go into politics because my dad took me to the Senate Gallery and we sat together and that's true.
57:07
But what I leave out is he did that right after they died. And I was bottoming out.
57:17
So, he wanted to get me out of here for a little while and he planned this road trip to DC,
57:22
and I think it's because JFK was his idol. And we went and sat in the gallery.
57:27
I remember watching him watch them, and I knew that that's what I wanted to do.
57:37
I wish they were here to see all this.
57:42
I was...
57:48
Didn't expect to tell you any of that.
59:06
David? David?
59:15
(CELL PHONE BUZZING) It's Adrian.
59:21
Hey. (DOOR OPENING) What are you doing? Why are you calling?
59:27
Hi. No, I was... Because I was sleeping.
59:35
No. No, it's not. Why are you calling?
59:44
Okay, well, I got to go. No, I got to go. Okay.
59:52
I'm so sorry. It's all right. Everything okay? Yeah. Oh, my God. That was so weird.
59:58
I woke up and you weren't here. And then the phone rang and it was my ex
1:00:04
which is just so strange. Sorry, I guess we hadn't gotten to any of that stuff yet. Right.
1:00:10
You know, we broke up a while ago, and it's over and then he calls four times in one morning.
1:00:19
He called you four times this morning? Mmm-hmm.
1:00:24
How long have you guys been broken up? Um... Three months.
1:00:30
It's like he knew I was with someone else.
1:00:36
Was it serious? We were engaged. So, not really that serious?
1:00:43
(LAUGHS) Right. Well, what happened? (EXHALES HEAVILY)
1:00:49
Do you want to know this? Yeah.
1:00:55
He was a great guy. Brilliant choreographer and dancer,
1:01:03
and we had the same group of friends. We had known each other a long time.
1:01:08
Well, he sounds great. Why didn't you marry him?
1:01:18
Because of you. I'm not some hopeless romantic.
1:01:24
I've never allowed myself to be that way. But once I felt,
1:01:31
even for a moment, what I felt with you.
1:01:37
You ruined me. I didn't want to settle for less. I know the feeling.
1:01:43
It scares the shit out of me. I'm not going to hurt you.
1:01:49
You don't need to say that. I'm not going to hurt you.
1:01:56
This is the first time in 25 years that I don't feel like I'm by myself.
1:02:04
(EXHALES) That's a lot of responsibility for me. I don't know if I'm quite comfortable with that.
1:02:10
Well, too late.
1:02:18
You know, I'm supposed to go to an interview right now.
1:02:24
What if I told you I wasn't ready to let you out of my sight quite yet? You want to go?
1:02:29
All right. Are you handsome
1:02:35
or is it that Washington is so populated by I don't want to say, hideous abnormalities...
1:02:42
DAVID: This is getting a little weird. (STUDIO AUDIENCE LAUGHING) David Norris, everybody. (CHEERING)

“Most people live life on the path we set for them, too afraid to explore any other. But once in a while, people like you come along and knock down all the obstacles we put in your way. People who realize free will is a gift that you'll never know how to use until you fight for it. I think that's the chairman's real plan. That maybe one day, we won't write the plan, you will.”
2 days agoI've been in love twice in my life. I'm 58 years old. And I didn't imagine this, but each time there were people trying to pull us apart, and I could feel from strangers how much it bothered them to even witness and feel the love and happiness that was generating from us. I didn't imagine this, it happened twice, but I wasn't strong enough, took love for granted, and became complacent. I ask for forgiveness from the women and from God for my weakness of a gift not everyone is given.Life is a challenge, and often, people decide their destiny because free will is possible.
The ancient Greeks aggressively pursued the "fate versus free will" dilemma. Oedipus the King, tragedy produced, tried to avoid his fate, but the choices he freely made ultimately led to its fulfillment. It's a bizarre situation we find ourselves in, especially in a democracy. ;)
