Mike Yanagita: [moves to Marge's side of the table and puts arms around her] Do you mind if I sit over here? Marge Gunderson: No. Why don't you sit over there? I'd prefer that. Mike Yanagita: Huh? Uh... ok. [moves back to other side of table] Mike Ya...
Anton Freeman: Vincent! How are you doing this Vincent? How have you done any of this? We have to go back. Vincent: It's too late for that. We're closer to the other side. Anton Freeman: What other side? You wanna drown us both? Vincent: You wanna kn...
Charlie: It's all bullshit except the pain. The pain of hell. The burn from a lighted match increased a million times. Infinite. Now, ya don't fuck around with the infinite. There's no way you do that. The pain in hell has two sides. The kind you can...
Mr. Allen, Master: [after seeing that the Acheron is closing in on them] My God, what can we do? He has us by the hip. Capt. Jack Aubrey: Run like smoke and oakum. Mr. Allen, Master: We'll have to bend every sail. Capt. Jack Aubrey: We'll put up our ...
