Sheikh Muhammed: I’m a great admirer of the British for many reasons, but still there are mysteries to me. The rich are frightened of the poor. The poor are frightened of the rich. And even your politicians, they try to sound like the people on the EastEnders. A wonderful program, but still.
Dr. Alfred Jones: Yes, the great British class system.
Sheikh Muhammed: Indeed. But fishermen, I have noticed, they don’t care whether I’m brown or white, rich or poor, wearing robes or waders. All they care about is the fish, the river and the game we play. For fishermen, the only virtues are patience, tolerance and humility. I like this.

Patrick: You know that death is the most beautiful part of life, right? Death is beautiful because we all fear death.

That’s pure love. So death is pure love.

You think I’m crazy? Hey, I’m talking to you, Russell! Huh? Lewis! You think I’m a thief? Sleep well in your beds. Because if this thing comes true, there ain’t gonna be any more.
