Ellis Me too.

Mud Didn’t feel right leavin’ town without sayin’ goodbye.

Ellis I’m sorry ‘bout what I said.

Mud No. No. You were right to be mad. You were right about a lot of things. I’m the one that’s sorry. I shoulda never gotten ya’ll into all this. I just didn’t see any other way around it. But I couldn’t leave without you knowin’ I never lied about being your friend. I never lied about that.

Ellis I know.

Mud I don’t traffic in the truth too often. But I did love her. I do love her.

Ellis She loves you too. She said it.

Mud I just made mistakes. We both did. This is a hard life to keep up with. You can’t blame her for gettin’ tired of tryin’.

Ellis My dad says you can’t count on women lovin’ you. He says you can’t trust it.

Mud That’s not true. Don’t judge your life on all of our mistakes. You’ll make plenty mistakes of your own, no need takin’ on everybody else’s. You’re a good man Ellis. If you find a girl half as good, you’ll be all right.

Ellis You’re a good man too Mud.

Mud No. I’m not. But maybe from here on out I can be...

Understanding the Illusion of Wall Street

Mark Hanna The name of the game; move the money from the client's pocket into your pocket.

Mark Hanna No. Number one rule of Wall Street: Nobody - I don't care if you're ] or ] - Nobody knows if the stock's going to go up, down, sideways, or in fucking circles, least of all stockbrokers. It's all a Fugazzi. You know what a Fugazzi is?

[[w:Warren Buffett|Warren Buffett; [w:Jimmy Buffett|Jimmy Buffett]

Jordan It's, uh... "Fugazi", it's a fake...

Mark Hanna Fugazi, Fugazzi. It's a wazzy, it's a woozy. It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. It's Neverlanded. It is no matter. It's not on the elemental chart. It's not fucking real. Stay with me. We don't create shit. We don't build anything. So if you've got a client who bought stock at 8 and it now sits at 16, and he's all fuckin happy. He wants to cash in, liquidate, take his fuckin money and run home. You don't let him do that, because that would make it real. No. What do you do? You get another brilliant idea. A special idea. Another "situation". Another stock, to reinvest his earnings and then some. And he will, every single time, because they're fucking addicted. And then you just keep doing this, again and again and again and again. Meanwhile, he thinks he's getting shit rich, which he is, on paper. But you and me, the brokers, we're taking home cold hard cash via commission, motherfucker!

Doyle The lost communications came through.

Doyle The relay on this side cached them. Years of basic data, no real surprises. Miller's site has kept pinging thumbs up, as has Mann... but Edmunds went down three years ago.

Brand Transmitter failure?

Doyle Maybe. He was sending thumbs up right till it went dark.

Romilly Miller still looks good? She's coming up fast ... with one complication: the planet is much closer to Gargantua than we thought.

[Doyle nods, and Romilly begins drawing on a whiteboard]

Cooper Gargantua?

Doyle A very large black hole. Miller's and Dr. Mann's planets orbit it.

Brand And Miller's is right on the horizon?

Romilly A basketball on the hoop. Landing there takes us dangerously close. A black hole that big has a huge gravitational pull.

Cooper Look, I can swing around that neutron star and decelerate—

Brand It's not that, it's time. That gravity will slow our clock compared to Earth. Drastically.

Cooper How bad?

Difficult Choices in Space Exploration

Cooper We no longer have the fuel to visit both prospects, so, we have to choose.

Romilly But how? They’re both promising. Edmunds’ data is better, but Dr. Mann is the one still transmitting, so…

Brand We’ve no reason to suspect Endmunds’s data would have soured. His world has key elements to sustain human life.

Cooper As does Dr. Mann’s.

Brand Cooper, this is my field. And I really believe Edmunds’ is the better prospect.

Cooper Why?

Brand Gargantua, that’s why. Look at Miller’s planet. Hydrocarbons, organics, yes, but no life. Sterile. We’ll find the same thing on Mann’s.

Romilly Because of the black hole?

Brand Murphy’s Law. Whatever can happen will happen. Accident is the first building block of evolution. But when you’re orbiting a black hole not enough can happen. It sucks in asteroids and comets, other events which would otherwise reach you. We need to go further afield.

Cooper You once said that Dr. Mann was the best of us.

Brand He’s remarkable, we’re only here because of him.

Cooper And yet here he is. He’s on the ground, and he’s sending a very unambiguous message, telling us to come to his planet.

Brand Granted, but Edmunds’ data is more promising.

Romilly We should vote.

Cooper Well, if we vote, there’s something you should know. Brand? He has a right to know.

Brand That has nothing to do with it.

Romilly What does?

Cooper She’s in love with Wolf Edmunds.

Romilly Is that true?

Brand Yes. And that makes me want to follow my heart. But maybe we’ve spent too long trying to figure all this out with theory.

Cooper You’re a scientist, Brand.

Brand So listen to me when I say that love isn’t something we invented. It’s observable, powerful. It has to mean something.

Cooper Love has meaning, yes. Social utility, social bonding, child rearing…

Brand We love people who have died. Where’s the social utility in that?

Cooper None

Brand Maybe it means something more, something we can’t yet understand. May it’s some evidence, something artifact of a higher dimension that we can’t consciously perceive. I’m drawn across the universe to someone I haven’t seen in a decade, who I know is probably dead. Love is the one thing that we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space. Maybe we should trust that, even if we can’t understand it yet. All right, Cooper, yes, the tiniest possibility of seeing Woolf again excites me. That doesn’t mean I’m wrong.

[Stays quiet.]

Cooper Honestly, Amelia, it might. TARS, chart a course for Dr. Mann’s.

Amistad

The Morality of Slavery and Murder

Roger Sherman Baldwin Cinque describes the cold-blooded murder of a significant portion of the people on board the Tecora. Mr Holabird sees this as a paradox. Do you, sir?

Captain Fitzgerald Often when slavers are intercepted, or believe they may be, they simply throw all their prisoners over board and thereby rid themselves of the evidence of their crime.

Roger Sherman Baldwin Drown hundreds of people?

Captain Fitzgerald Yes.

William S. Holabird It hardly seems a lucrative business to me, this slave trading. Going to all that trouble, rounding everybody up, only to throw them all overboard.

Captain Fitzgerald No, it's very lucrative.

Roger Sherman Baldwin If only we could corroborate Cinque's story somehow with evidence of some kind.

Captain Fitzgerald The inventory. If you look, there's a notation made on May tenth, correcting the number of slaves on board, reducing their number by fifty.

Roger Sherman Baldwin What does that mean?

Captain Fitzgerald Well, if you look at it in conjunction with Cinque's testimony, I would say that it means this: The Tecora crew have greatly underestimated the amount of provisions required for their journey, and solved the problem by throwing fifty people overboard.

William S. Holabird I am looking at the same inventory, Captain, and I am sorry, I don't see where it says, Today we threw fifty slaves overboard', on May tenth or any other day.

Captain Fitzgerald As, of course, you would not.

William S. Holabird I do see that the cargo weight changed. They reduced the poundage, I see. But that is all.

Captain Fitzgerald It's simple, ghastly arithmetic.

William S. Holabird Well, for you, perhaps. I may need a quill and parchment, and a better imagination.

Captain Fitzgerald And what poundage do you imagine the entry may refer to, sir? A mast and sails perhaps?

Mickey Haller Yeah.

Reign of Fire

Critique of Celebration Amidst Tragedy

Denton Van Zan Envy the country that has heroes, huh?! I say pity the country that needs em. What are you celebrating? One dragon down, three men dead? Oh, yeah. At that rate, we might just be getting somewhere in about 320 years. Is that what you want? You want a little accommodation? Nuh-uh. These beasts live on ash. They feed on death. There's no middle ground... not for them, not for us. And sure as hell not for my men who died out there today. But you go ahead. Have your little... soiree. Personally, you disgust me.

Mud

Fear and Respect for Nature's Dangers

Neckbone I hate snakes.

Mud That’s because God made them for us to fear. It’s a thing we knew to be afraid of before we even got into this world. Cherokee would wrap snake skin around their pregnant women’s bellies. Induce labor, scare the child out. Here. Set that ‘round your bed at night. Snake won’t cross braided rope.

[He fetches a length of rope out of the duffel bag and tosses it to Neckbone.]

Neckbone Thanks. So what’s that for then?

[nods to Mud’s snake tattoo]

Mud A reminder. Don’t get bit. I was 10, swimmin’ ‘bout a mile up from here. Me and Juniper. Sonofabitch swam right up under me, bit me just below the armpit. June got me out, got me to a clinic. Doctor said I shoulda been dead in twenty minutes. Took us an hour just to get back to town.

Neckbone What’d they do?

Mud Gave me antivenom. For a cotton mouth. See here. Problem with antivenom is they can only give it to you once. It’s made from horse blood. Your body would reject it a second time. The cure ends up being more dangerous than the poison.

[Mud shows the tattoo on top of his right hand. He points out the two cotton blossoms bulging from the snake’s mouth.]

Ellis What happens if you get bit again?

Mud I die, or just sweat it out.

Ellis The girl you’re waitin’ on, she’s your girlfriend?

Mud Juniper. Yeah.

Elis How’d you meet her?

Mud We grew up together.

Ellis Do you love her?

Mud I do. The first time I saw her was on this river. Just up from here. She saved my life.

Ellis From the snake bite.

Mud That’s right. I was younger than you are now, but when I came to in the hospital and she was there, it was like the world split open, came back together new. Everything changed. I knew from then on I’d do anything for her.

Ellis Why aren’t ya’ll married?

Mud I’ve asked. Several times. Marriage just doesn’t work for some people.

Ellis My dad says my parents may be gettin’ a divorce.

Mud I’m sorry to hear that.

Ellis If it happens, and my mom moves us off the river, they say the government can come take our boat away.

Mud Who says that?

Ellis Everybody. They passed a law so you can’t sell your boat. Can’t rent it. If the owner leaves, they got you. Game and Fish want ‘em off the river.

Mud I’ve never been one to trust the government on matters of personal property, but if your parents love each other, there’s always a chance.

Fear of Recognizing Innocence

Maggie McPherson Yeah, me.

Mickey Haller That I wouldn't recognize innocence. That it would be right there in front of me, and I just wouldn't see it.

Mickey Haller I'm not talking about guilty or not guilty; just, just innocence. Know what I'm afraid of now?

Conflict of Priorities in a Mission

Brand I told you to leave me.

Cooper And I told you to get your ass back here! Difference is, only one of us was thinking about the mission—

Brand Cooper, you were thinking about getting home — I was trying to do the right thing!

Cooper Tell that to Doyle. How long to drain, CASE?

[pause]

CASE Forty-five to an hour.

Cooper The stuff of life, huh? What's this gonna cost us, Brand?

Brand A lot. Decades.

Cooper What happened to Miller?

Brand Judging by the wreckage, she was broken up by a wave shortly after impact.

Cooper How could the wreckage still be together after all these years?

Brand Because of the time slippage. On this planet's time, she landed here just hours ago. She might have died only minutes ago.

CASE The data Doyle collected was just the initial status, echoing endlessly.

Cooper We're not prepared for this, Brand. You're a bunch of eggheads without the survival skills of a boy-scout troop.

Brand We got this far on our brains, farther than any humans in history...

Cooper No, not far enough. And we're stuck here till there won't be anyone left on Earth to save—

Brand I'm counting every second, same as you, Cooper.

Cooper Don't you have some clever way we jump into a black hole and get back the years? Don't you shake your head at me!

Brand ] is relative, it can stretch and squeeze, but it can't run backwards. The only thing that can move across dimensions like time is gravity.

A Proposal of Trade Among Friends

Mud I like you two. You remind me of me. And seeing how you boys are from Arkansas and we know some people and sounds like we all from the same place I'd say we can make a deal here about somethin'.

Ellis A deal for what?

Mud Food. Food for a boat.

Neckbone This guy's a bum Ellis. Come on.

Ellis Why don't you go get your own food?

Mud I would if I could, but I told somebody I’d meet ‘em here. So I’m stuck for now and what I got’s runnin’ low.

Neckbone He's a bum Ellis, let’s go.

Mud I'm no bum. I got money. You can call me a hobo ‘cause a hobo’ll work for his living and you can call me homeless ‘cause that’s true for now, but if you call me a bum again I'll have to teach you somethin about respect that your daddy never did.

The Paradox of Progress in Modern Society

Palmer Joss What I'm asking is... are we happier, as a human race? Is the world fundamentally a better place because of science and technology? We shop at home, we surf the Web, and at the same time we feel emptier, lonelier, and more cut off from each other than at any other time in human history...
