Robert Stroud
- Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy: [delivering books to Stroud's cell in D-Block] How's the old Birdman?
- Robert Stroud: Breaking even. The way I figure it, it's better than breaking out.
- Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy: Thought you might've changed your mind.
- Robert Stroud: It ain't gonna work, Bernie.
- Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy: It'll work. It's *got* to.
- Robert Stroud: "Got to" won't get you outta here.
- Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy: It's all planned out.
- Robert Stroud: Yeah. Sure it is. Now, if you could only walk on water.
- Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy: We're taking over the boat.
- Robert Stroud: I wish you luck.
- Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy: Stroud! We got it! We're going! Straight through the yard, down to the boat!
- Robert Stroud: Now, how the hell do you do that?
- Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy: Hostages. Four guards. You can still come, you know. What do you say?
- Robert Stroud: I was dumb enough to get into this joint, Bernie. I ain't crazy enough to try and break out.
- Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy: Well, we're going.
- Robert Stroud: Where, Bernie? That's the problem. Where? Do you think it's worth it?
- Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy: I tell you the God's truth. If I have to wake up *one* more morning in a cement cage, nine by six, not even knowing if it's daylight outside... You'd better believe it's worth it.
- Robert Stroud: It's like I told you Bernie... Good luck.
