And he lays down this burrito and he kind of looks at me, kind of stares at me and says, "I have but recently returned from the valley of the shadow of death. I'm rapturously breathing in all the odors and essences of life. I've been to the brink of total oblivion. I remember and ferment the desire to remember everything."

    Wiley: So, what did you say to that?

    Shinji: And our neighbor Mr. Pak said carp blood is the only thing that will help.

    Gen: Without it my mother will get worse sir, even...

The thing most ferared in secret always happens. My life, my loves, where are they now? But the more the pain grows, the more this instinct for life somehow asserts itself. The necessary beauty in life is in giving yourself to it completely. Only later will it clarify itself and become coherent.

  • Old Man: So there's this man, and he lived his whole life on Earth, and his name was Mr. Stevenson. When Mr. Stevenson was eight years old, he asked another little boy if he would like a Hurts Donut. The other boy said yes. So he hit him on the arm and he said, "Hurts Donut." Five years later, Mr. Stevenson asked another boy about his same age at that time if he would like a Hurts Donut. when the boy said yes, Mr. Stevenson stabbed him over and over again in his eye and his cheek with a pencil, saying "Hurts Donut." Over the years, Mr. Stevenson did very well in school. On graduation day, he was sat next to another young man, who, like Mr. Stevenson, had earned high marks. When he asked the boy if he would like a Hurts Donut, the boy said, "Not if you're gonna stab me in the eye with a pencil." "I wouldn't even touch you," said Mr. Stevenson. So when the boy agreed, he presented him with a photograph of the young man's fiancée at a bachelor party, on some guy's table, fucking herself with a beer bottle. As tears filled the young man's eyes, Mr. Stevenson was heard to say, "Hurts Donut." A few years later, Mr. Stevenson got a job as a sales clerk in an electronics store. Within a year, he was caught stealing and immediately incarcerated. When he asked his cellmate if he would like a Hurts Donut, his cellmate said yeah. So... he gave him a Hurts Donut. Over the years, Mr. Stevenson grew too old to take care of himself, so they put him in a hospital. One day, he asked the new nurse if she would like a Hurts Donut. In anticipation of her response, Mr. Stevenson began humming and making smacking noises with his mouth. When the nurse smiled and said, "I know about you, Mr. Stevenson," Mr. Stevenson blurted out something totally incoherent and... and began to laugh.

    [the bar patrons are laughing uproariously]

    Old Man: I've never understood this joke. But then, I've never been to Earth.

  • Hubert: Bullshit! You pointed a gun at a cop! We coulda been killed!

    [an old man flushes the toilet and walks out of the stall]

    Old Man: Nothing like a good shit! Do you believe in God? That's the wrong question. Does God believe in us? I once had a friend called Grunwalski. We were sent to Siberia together. When you go to a Siberian work camp, you travel in a cattle car. You roll across icy steppes for days, without seeing a soul. You huddle to keep warm. But it's hard to relieve yourself, to take a shit, you can't do it on the train, and the only time the train stops is to take on water for the locomotive. But Grunwalski was shy, even when we bathed together, he got upset. I used to kid him about it. So, the train stops and everyone jumps out to shit on the tracks. I teased Grunwalski so much, that he went off on his own. The train starts moving, so everyone jumps on, but it waits for nobody. Grunwalski had a problem: he'd gone behind a bush, and was still shitting. So I see him come out from behind the bush, holding up his pants with his hands. He tries to catch up. I hold out my hand, but each time he reaches for it he lets go of his pants and they drop to his ankles. He pulls them up, starts running again, but they fall back down, when he reaches for me.

    Saïd: Then what happened?

    Old Man: Nothing. Grunwalksi... froze to death. Goodbye.

  • Old Man: I wish you'd all lay off for tonight! I can't hear myself think with that racket!

    Doyle: I told you three times already, the law's on my side! I play cards with J.D. Shelnut, chief of PO-lice! So kiss my ass, you old bastard!

  • Old Man: Car broken, sir?

    Young Monk: Yah.

    Old Man: Very bad karma!

  • Old Man: Some say life is hard, but that is just talk. It is good to be alive, it is exciting!

  • Old man: Look what they're driving. Damn hippies, creeps!

    Duncan: Some welcoming committee.

    Woody: It's cheaper than a station wagon!

    [They drive off, laughing]

  • John Valentine: [just saw the weird creature on the wing of the plane] There's a man on the wing of this plane!

    Old Woman: I saw him. Green and slimy.

    Old Man: Leave the poor man alone.

    Old Woman: I'm only trying to help. You've got to humor them.

    John Valentine: It was lightning. At first I thought it was animal. Some kind of bird or something. But it was a man! There were flames coming out of the engine, and a flash of smoke. Maybe it was a technician who was caught on the side of the plane when it took off. How could he survive out there? The air's so thin, the blast of the wind. It's so cold.

    [begins to think it was only his imagination and feels embarrassed]

    John Valentine: It's impossible, isn't it? Oh my god, I feel so stupid!

    [takes sedatives to sleep. Then laughs nervously]

    John Valentine: Can you imagine? A naked man crawling along the wing of an airplane at 35,000 feet?

  • Co-Pilot: [John Valentine's just been taken away in the ambulance after the plane has landed] Weather hadn't broke we would've never gotten this baby down. We've had one hell of a night. We got the storm. We got the flame out. Then that freak show.

    Old Woman: Not to mention the gun. The gun was awful.

    Sky Marshal: He didn't have a gun.

    Old Man: He didn't have a gun?

    Sky Marshal: No, no. He didn't have a gun. It was my gun. I'm FAA. I'm authorized to have a gun.

    Jr. Stewardess: He was so crazy. He smashed the window. What was he trying to do, get out?

    Sky Marshal: It's claustrophobia! They'd rather fall to the ground, than stay aboard! I've seen it happen! I've seen it!

    Jr. Stewardess: He had to be completely wacko, right?

    Sr. Stewardess: I knew he was frightened, but I didn't think he was crazy.

    Jr. Stewardess: But Dion, he said he saw something on the end of the wing.

    Chris: [consults a map on the wall] Hey, why's this Bear Mountain Road dotted like this?

    Old Man: Dirt.

  • Old Man: [to Sally] There's no need to do that!

  • Old Man: [to Sally] Just take it easy now.

    Mr. Roger Campbell: Now, if you do as we say, you've got nothing to fear. Will you trust me?

    Old man: Yes, sir.

    Mr. Roger Campbell: [drags Halsey aside] Now listen, Halsey, and listen well. If I hear another sound out of you, I'm going to smash your face in and throw you out for those things to get. Now I'm talking to you straight, man. Do you understand?

    Halsey: Mr. Campbell, I can't stand any more...

    Mr. Roger Campbell: Do. You. Understand? Mind that you do.

  • Old Man: Now he will take my place. His blood is like mine, and my blood is like that of his accursed father, who passed it on to me. It was twenty years ago, the night when Lou Roberts sank his teeth into my neck, and I've been waiting ever since for his son to come back and take over his inheritance. Now he will command them! He will become the lord of the dogs!

  • Old Man: Can you feel the wind? The wind is lifting the fog and blowing away the clouds that cover the moon. Now he's back, at last. He will command the hounds. And all of you - all of you will die!

  • Old Man: You're feelin' mean, 'cause you know that gold can't be taken, and you've seen it yourself. And I tell ya', if you try to take it, you're gonna' wind up dead, or in prison. And that's the closest you'll ever get to it, through six inches of steel. I know: I been closer to that gold INside, than any man OUTside. And I tell ya', it can't be taken.

    Luther Sledge: [Reflects for a moment] Oh, yes it can! Yeeehaaw!

    Luther Sledge: [Throws an empty whiskey bottle in the air and shoots it as it falls] I knew it, I knew it all the time! Oh, we're gonna' take that gold, and we're gonna' take ALL of it. And you and your tales of old timers don't mean a whiff of cow dung, because you never had the brains or the guts to do it. We're gonna' take it from the INside.

    Erwin Ward: [Slightly incredulous] The INside?

    Luther Sledge: Right!
