Fast Eddie: You know, I got a hunch, fat man. I got a hunch it's me from here on in. One ball, corner pocket. I mean, that ever happen to you? You know, all of a sudden you feel like you can't miss? 'Cause I dreamed about this game, fat man. I dreame...
[while landing on Miller's planet] CASE: We should ease. Cooper: Hands where I can see 'em, CASE! The only time I ever went down was when a machine was easing at the wrong time. CASE: A little caution... Cooper: Will get you killed, just like reckles...
