Memorable Quotes from Himesh Patel
3 quotesUnderstanding Security Measures During Lockdown
Neil
All doors are fireproof. Hydraulic closers, simple key and electronic triggers. Surprisingly easy once there's a lockdown.
The Protagonist
Why a lockdown?
Neil
Power switches to fail-safes, sealing the outer doors, but inner doors revert to factory settings...and pickable locks. It's child's play, really.
The Protagonist
Child's play? They're inside airport security. They have to worry about climate control, not armed raids.
Neil
So, how do we get enough firepower through the perimeter to trigger the lockdown procedure?...Back wall of the Freeport?...
The Protagonist
You've got something?
Neil
Not gonna like it.
The Protagonist
You wanna crash a plane?
[After Neil explains his plan off camera to The Protagonist]
Neil
Well, not from the air. Don't be so dramatic. I want to run a jet off the taxiway and breach the rear wall and start a fire.
The Protagonist
Well, how big a plane?
Neil
Well, that part is a little dramatic. This is Mahir. His team will work the plane.
[Walking up to Mahir sitting on a bench]
The Protagonist
There can't be passengers.
Mahir
Norsk Freight...They use the hangar on the west side of the Freeport.
The Protagonist
You want to crash a transport plane? What about the crew?
Mahir
We pop the slides, chuck em off.
The Protagonist
On the move?
Mahir
What's the problem? They'll be fine.
The Protagonist
It seems bold.
Mahir
Bold I'm fine with. I thought you were gonna say nuts.
The Protagonist
And if you get caught?
Mahir
We won’t.
The Protagonist
And if you do?
Mahir
Everyone assumes terrorism, but no one's died so swift extradition then lost in the system. It'll barely make the news.
Neil
Oh...Depends on the size of the explosion.
Mahir
Well...Actually, The gold bars might get some play.
The Protagonist
Gold bars?
Neil
Norsk Freight ships Treasury gold once a month
Mahir
Blow the back. Drop it out on the runway.
Neil
No one will be looking at the building. I can guarantee you.

The Sirens' Song of Longing and Regret
Eurylochus
What was the song of the sirens like?
Odysseus
All the things you wanted to be and then all the things you wished you never wished for. It was a delicious itch you want to scratch but you find it under the skin and can't reach it. So the delicious itch becomes unbearable. It told you what you most want is what you most can't have and that the most you can't have is what you already had and lost. It was a song of all the promises I failed to keep. And it told me I don't really want to go home.

Provisioning for the Journey Home
Eurylochus
Do we have enough provisions to get home?
Odysseus
We've taken enough from Troy. A couple of stops on the way home won't kill us.
