- Hisato: I had a relative who had polio back in 1942. He was at a Japanese internment camp in Utah, about four hours from here. It was still 7 years before the vaccine, so he became severely handicapped and... he had a really bad time breathing. We share the same birthday, that's why I bring the crutches out every year - to honor him.
- Alexander: You are new to the desert. It will mess with your eyes, your ears and your mind. Understand?
