Écoutez XXX, je vois que vous êtes vraiment très affecté par cet incident. Et sincèrement je pense que vous devriez reprendre vos esprits, absorber un tranquillisant, et essayer de faire le point.

Oh yeah, you give the car keys to your best friend and you let him take the old lady to the hospital. You stay at the bus stop with the girl because she's the girl of your dreams, right? So everything is going to be ok.

You can't be lucky all the time, Jack.

You're driving along in a hurricane. You pass a bus stop with three people waiting there. An old lady who's about to die, your best friend who saved your life once and the woman of your dreams. You only have room to take one. What do you do ?

- Oh, God I dreamed.
- So did I. What did you dream?
- I was lying naked on a beach in the South Seas. The tide was coming up to my toes. The sun was beating down. My skin hot and cool at the same time. It was wonderful. What was yours?
- I dreamed I tore all the skin off my face and was somebody else underneath.
- You have problems.
- I'm aware of that.

- That is a lovely tie, by the way. May I ask where you acquire it ?
- Brooks Brothers.
- Is that mid-town ?
- 45th and Madison. You are a barbarian.
- Thank you. We both are.

- I guess you would call it an implosive-explosive sub-molecular device.
- Or an Atomic Bomb.
- Hey, that's catchy.

- Do you have *any* *idea* who you just kidnapped?
-  xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
- You know my real name?
- Yes. I also know that for as long as you can remember, you struggled against your own black heart and always lost. You watched your sprit, your very face change as the beast claws its way out from within you. You are in great pain, aren't you? You know what evil lurks in the hearts of men, for you have seen that evil in your own heart. Every man pays a price for redemption; this is yours.
- I'm not lookin' for redemption!
- You have no choice: you *will* be redeemed, because I will teach you to use your black shadow to fight evil.

- Do you have *any* *idea* who you just kidnapped?
-  Cranston; Lamont Cranston.
- You know my real name?
- Yes. I also know that for as long as you can remember, you struggled against your own black heart and always lost.

- You believe a man can change his destiny?  
- I think a man does what he can, until his destiny is revealed.  

There is so much here I will never understand. I've never been a church going man, and what I've seen on the field of battle has led me to question God's purpose. But there is indeed something spiritual in this place. And though it may forever be obscure to me, I cannot but be aware of its power. I do know that it is here that I've known my first untroubled sleep in many years.

- Every soldier has nightmares.  
- Only one who is ashamed of what he has done.  
- You have no idea what I have done.
