Eagle Man Quotes in Freejack (1992)

Alex Furlong: How the hell do you eat river rat?

Eagle Man: Well, first you gotta cut off the head and the tail, and then you gut it. Then it's all a matter of the sauce. You don't just plop down a rodent on a plate and say here's your river rat would you like red wine or white with 'em. Not that there's any wine around here anyway.

Alex Furlong: Man, if it's come down to this. What's the point?

Eagle Man: He Riddles me. The ancient riddle: "What's the point?" Have you ever seen an eagle flying back to his home with dinner for the Mrs. and all the little eagle babies. And he's flying against the wind and he's flying in the rain and he's flying through bullets and all kinds of hell, and then right at that moment when he's about to get back to his nest, he says, "What the fuck, it's a drag being an eagle" and right then two little x'es comes across his eyes just like in the old fashion cartoons. And he goes plunging down, and down and down and BAM. He's just a splatter of feathers and then we don't have the national bird of America no more. Did you ever see that?

Alex Furlong: No.

Eagle Man: Me Neither. Eagle's got too much self-respect. How's yours?

Time Travel Technician #1: I wouldn't dance to it, but that's a pulse.
