Audience Score
74

A Playful Exchange Between Friends

Jacob: You know you look like an angel, Louie? Like an overgrown cherub. Anyone ever tell you that?
Louis: [smiling] Yeah, you. Every time you see me.
Jacob: You're a lifesaver, Louie.
Louis: [smiling] Yeah, I know.

Perceptions of Prison and War Experience

Michael: I'd only been in jail 13 hours, I thought Nam couldn't be any worse.
Jacob: Shows how little you knew.
Michael: Yeah, really.

Consequences of Choices and Health Concerns

Louis: Well, you've done it to yourself this time, haven't you?
Jacob: Am I dying, Louie?
Louis: From a slipped disk? That'll be a first.

Confrontation Between Life and Death

Jacob: Jezzie? Get me out of here.
Evil Doctor: Where do you want to go?
Jacob: Home.
Evil Doctor: Home? This is your home. You're dead.
Jacob: Dead? No. I just hurt my back, I'm not dead.
Evil Doctor: What are you, then?
Jacob: I'm alive.
Evil Doctor: Then what are you doing here?
Jacob: [crying] I don't know. This isn't happening.
Evil Doctor: What is happening?
Jacob: Get me out of here.
Evil Doctor: There is no out of here. You've been killed, don't you remember?

Debate on Identity and Names in Conversation

Jezebel: Well, personally, I never went for church names.
Jezebel: What?
Jacob: Where do you think Jezebel came from?
Jezebel: No one calls me that.
Jacob: You're such a heathen, Jezzie. How'd I ever get involved with such a fuckin ninny?
Jezebel: You sold your soul, remember? That's what you told me.
Jacob: Yeah? For what?
Jezebel: A good lay.
Jacob: Look what I got.
Jezebel & Jacob: The best.

Life and Death in Conversation

Army Officer: Mr. Singer. What an appropriate name for a man who can't shut up.
Elsa: [reading Jacob's palm; laughs] See. According to this, you're already dead.

Perspective on Life and Death

Louis Denardo: [[Meister Eckhart|Eckhart] ] saw Hell too. You know what he said? He said: "The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life; your memories, your attachments... they burn them all away." But, "they're not punishing you" he said, "they're freeing your soul". So the way he see's it, if you're frightened of dying and-and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But, if you've made your peace then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth. It's just a matter of how you look at it, that's all. So don't worry, okay?
