Daxos: I saw those ships smashed on the rocks. How can this be? Stelios: We saw but a fraction of the monster that is Xerxes' army. Daxos: There can be no victory here. Why do you smile? Stelios: Arcadian, I've fought countless times, yet I've never ...
W.P. Mayhew: Mister Fink, they have not invented a genre of picture that Bill Mayhew has not, at one time or other, been invited to essay. Yes, I have taken my stab at the rasslin' form, as I have stabbed at so many others, and with as little success...
