Memorable Quotes from David Dayan Fisher
1 quoteThe Temptation of Treasure Acquisition
Ian
We could borrow it.
[about the Declaration of Independence]
Ben
Steal it? I don't think so.
Ian
Look, Ben... I understand your bitterness. I really do. You've spent your entire life searching for this treasure, only to have the respected historical community treat you and your family with mockery and contempt. You should be able to rub this treasure in their arrogant faces, and I want you to have the chance to do that.
Ben
How?
Ian
We all have our areas of expertise. You don't think mine are limited to writing checks, do you? In another life, I've arranged several operations of questionable legality.
Shaw
I'd take his word for it if I was you.
Ian
So don't worry. I'll make all the arrangements.
Ben
No!
Ian
I could really use your help here.
Ben
Ian, I'm not going to let you steal the Declaration of Independence.
Ian
Alright. From this point on, all you're going to be is a hindrance.
[signals Shaw to ready a gun to which Ben nervously laughs]
Riley
Hey!
Ben
What are you going to do? Are you going to shoot me, Shaw? Well, you can't shoot me. There's more to the riddle; information you don't have, I do. I'm the only one who can solve it.
Shaw
He's bluffing.
Ben
We play poker together, Ian. You know I can't bluff.
Ian
Tell me what I need, or I'll shoot your friend.
[Shaw points his gun at Riley]
Riley
Hey!
Ian
Quiet, Riley. Your job's finished here.
Ben
Look where you're standing. All that gunpowder. You shoot me, I drop this, we all go up.
Riley
Ben?
Ben
You need to know... If Shaw can catch.
Ian
Nice try, though.
[coat sleeve catches on fire and drops flare on gunpowder]
