Charles Morse
- Charles Morse: You know, I once read an interesting book which said that, uh, most people lost in the wilds, they, they die of shame.
- Stephen: What?
- Charles Morse: Yeah, see, they die of shame. "What did I do wrong? How could I have gotten myself into this?" And so they sit there and they... die. Because they didn't do the one thing that would save their lives.
- Robert Green: And what is that, Charles?
- Charles Morse: Thinking.
- Charles Morse: We're all put to the test... but it never comes in the form or at the point we would prefer, does it?
- [after successfully fighting a bear]
- Charles Morse: For all my life, I've have wanted to do something that was, um, that was unequivocal.
- Robert Green: Well, Charlie, I certainly think this qualifies.
- Charles Morse: Or something.
- Robert Green: See, Charles, that's why they call it personal growth. A month ago, old Smokey here would've reared up, you probably would've called your lawyer!
- Charles Morse: Nah, I wouldn't do that to an animal.
- Robert Green: [Eating] Wish we had some salt.
- Charles Morse: You know, you can, uh... you can season meat with gunpowder. Did you know that?
- Robert Green: Wish we had some gunpowder.
- Charles Morse: You saved me.
- Robert Green: Get over it, Charles - I just need you to navigate.
- Charles Morse: You saved my life.
- Robert Green: Well, I couldn't kill you with Stephen around. I'd have to kill him too, and he's the only one that knows how I like my coffee.
- Charles Morse: Come on, you saved my life.
- Robert Green: Buy me something nice when we get home.
- Charles Morse: How'd you like your coffee?
- Robert Green: Huh. I like my coffee like I like my women.
- Stephen: Bitter and murky!
- [moments before the plane flies into a flock of wild birds]
- Charles Morse: So what do you value me for, Bob?
- Robert Green: I like your style, your wife's pretty cute too.
- Charles Morse: So how are you planning to kill me?
- Reporter #1: Mr. Morse, what happened to your friends?
- Reporter #2: How did they die?
- Charles Morse: They died... saving my life.
- Robert Green: You ain't got that fire lit yet?
- Charles Morse: No, no.
- [Bob takes off his jacket while Charles burns a certificate to start the fire and then starts to drink a bottle of whiskey]
- Charles Morse: Drinking the other fellow's supplies?
- Robert Green: Get back... I'll send them a check.
- [He loghts a cigarette]
- Charles Morse: Send them a check.
- Robert Green: Yeah.
- [He picks up and points the rifle]
- Robert Green: Hell of an adventure, eh, Charles?
- Charles Morse: Yeah, wasn't it?
- [Bob starts to load the rifle]
- Robert Green: You know... I ought to tell you if I'd had my camera out here I would've made my fortune. Made my fortune.
- [Charles inspects the watch]
- Robert Green: That thing's busted to shit, isn't it?
- Charles Morse: Ah, it still has some, uh... sentimental value.
- Robert Green: I suppose it does.
- Charles Morse: Can I see your watch, Bob?
- Robert Green: My watch? Don't work. Told you. Busted.
- Charles Morse: Yeah, I know it's... I know it doesn't work. But could I see it?
- Robert Green: New when we left... Just a piece of junk now.
- Charles Morse: What's the matter, Bob? Can't do it sober? I suppose you don't need me anymore. You can find your own way out of here without me.
- Robert Green: Well, you had no business with that broad anyway. You know you don't. You know that you don't, Charles. I mean... Hey, hey, hey... Look at her. Why did she go with you? Why in the hell did she go with you? Your money. For the love of god, everyone in the world knew that. Are you nuts? You went through the airport with her, everyone that saw you said, "There goes a guy with a plane." "There goes a guy with a plane." Say it was tough luck, Charles. That's what you drew this time.
- Charles Morse: Well...
- Robert Green: That's right.
- Charles Morse: Yeah. "For all the nights." How touching.
- Robert Green: Why torture yourself? It's over now. Let's go outside.
- James: I've, uh, taken the liberty, sir, of talking to the pilot of the amphibian. I checked the engine log. Plane seems to be in good shape. Good avionics. The fella's been around. I would not advise you to fly under any low ceiling, any possibility of bird strike or ice.
- Robert Green: What's a bird strike?
- Charles Morse: Flocks of migrating birds. If we hit them, we're all dead.
- Robert Green: Yes, absolutely, especially this time of the year.
- James: Any questions, sir? I'll have a chopper here and fly you in and out myself.
- Charles Morse: No, I'm sure we'll be fine.
- Mickey Morse: See? I told you we were gonna have a good time.
- Charles Morse: Yeah.
- James: When do you think you'll require your plane back, sir?
- Charles Morse: Bob?
- Robert Green: Uh, they want the film in New York, 36 hours. I'd say 8:00 tomorrow night.
- Charles Morse: 8:00 tomorrow night.
- James: Yes, sir.
- Charles Morse: Thank you.
- [Bob is leading Charles outside at gunpoint]
- Charles Morse: Just tell me this one thing. Was it from the first, you and my wife? Was it from the first, Bob?
- Robert Green: Come on, Charles.
- Charles Morse: Is that an indelicate question?
- Robert Green: Come on, Charles. Done is done.
- Charles Morse: Well, I'm dying, so... What difference does it make?
- Robert Green: Why is that so important to you, Charles?
- Charles Morse: I love her.
- Robert Green: I'm sorry. It's time.
- Charles Morse: Don't do it, Bob.
- Robert Green: You live in a dream world, Charles. You always have. Now turn your back.
- Charles Morse: I'm telling you, you don't have to do it.
- Robert Green: The hell I don't. You know that I do. What the fuck are you thinking? Now turn your back, Charles, and I don't want to hear any more of your goddamn nonsense. I don't want to hear it! How close we've become and how this and how that you stupid son of a bitch. You would've died out here, if not for me, with all your wealth. Do you understand me? I said turn your goddamn back!
- Charles Morse: Bob, listen to me.
- Robert Green: Don't go any further, Charles. I said turn your back.
- [Charles doesn't respond]
- Robert Green: No? You know, life is a short thing, Charles, full of betrayal. In many ways, you're well out of it.
- Charles Morse: Bob...
- Robert Green: Charles, don't!
- [He falls backwards into a deadfall spiked pit trap]
- [Charles and Bob are canoeing to shore]
- Robert Green: Hell of a way to end an outing, eh, Charles?
- Charles Morse: You're going to be fine.
- Robert Green: It must be quite a thing. Quite a thing to have so much. Everybody wants something from you... Everybody depending on you.
- Charles Morse: Don't talk so much.
- Robert Green: So pushy.
- Charles Morse: Why don't you save your energy?
- Robert Green: I... I don't really feel quite a 100%, Charles.
- Charles Morse: I'm going to take us into shore, find us a fire, keep you warm.
- [They reach your where Charles has started a fire]
- Robert Green: Hey. Why would you want to save a piece of shit like me?
- Charles Morse: Well, let's say it's a challenge.
- Robert Green: The sporting aspect of it, eh?
- Charles Morse: Yeah.
- Robert Green: No. I know what it is. You never had a buddy. That's the thing, isn't it?
- Charles Morse: That's right.
- Robert Green: Now I'm Your pet project. I'm your.. Hobby farm, eh, Charles?
- Charles Morse: Yeah. Whatever you say, Bob.
- Robert Green: The guy who tried to kill you. That's terrific, Charles.
- Charles Morse: Nah, you wouldn't have done it.
- Robert Green: Yes, I would've, you stupid son of a bitch. Yes, I would.
- Charles Morse: Well, then, you would.
- Robert Green: What will you do when you get back, Charles?
- Charles Morse: Huh? Ah, it's not important.
- Robert Green: It is important to me.
- Charles Morse: I may not go back.
- Robert Green: What do you mean, you may not go back? Of course you'll go back.
- Charles Morse: To what?
- Robert Green: No. I don't feel sorry for you, Charles. Never feel sorry for a man that owns a plane.
- [He starts coughing]
- Charles Morse: Come on. Hold on. Hold on. I'll get us out of here.
- Robert Green: Aw, bullshit. Hey... I'm dying. I'm dying, and I never did a goddamn thing. But wait. Charles, I got to tell you. Charles...
- Charles Morse: What?
- Robert Green: I'm sorry. I'm sorry, what I did. And your wife, Charles... Listen to me, Charles. She was never in on it, this business. Doing you in. I swear it on my life, Charles. Charles...
- Charles Morse: Thanks. Very kind of you to say so, Bob.
- Robert Green: Never too late for a kind gesture, eh, Charles?
- Charles Morse: Don't die on me, Bob.
- Robert Green: [smiling] Don't tell me what to do.
- Mickey Morse: Lord, I'm bushed. New book?
- Charles Morse: Yes, it's about surviving in the wilderness.
- Mickey Morse: Well, you're always reading something.
- Charles Morse: Yup.
- Charles Morse: My secretary gave it to me. Do you know why?
- Mickey Morse: Hmm?
- Charles Morse: You know why she gave me the book?
- Mickey Morse: Boy, that guy gave me the creeps with all that... All that talk about the bear. Why'd she give you the book? Because you're the salt of the earth.
- Charles Morse: Oh, is that so?
- Mickey Morse: You're the most excellent man. That's why I married you.
- Charles Morse: And you're the only woman I've ever wanted.
- Mickey Morse: Well then, see what a lucky guy you are?
- Charles Morse: Yes, I do. This is a special day for me. You know that?
- Mickey Morse: I know it is. I'm really glad you came away with us. You gotta get away more often. Charles?
- Charles Morse: Yeah?
- Mickey Morse: Think you can go downstairs and get me a sandwich?
- Charles Morse: Yeah. Okay.
- Mickey Morse: Did I ever tell you you're an angel?
- Charles Morse: No.
- Mickey Morse: Everything but the wings.
- Charles Morse: The sandwich.
- Charles Morse: Seems you can make a compass out of a needle.
- Styles: By god. That's a new one on me. You spend much time in the woods?
- Charles Morse: No, I'm afraid, uh, most of my knowledge is theoretical.
- Styles: Such a perfect spot. Such privilege. It's a shame, uh, everyone can't enjoy it.
- Charles Morse: Yeah. It is remote, and, uh...
- Styles: That's true. Now, you think this spot is so remote that only the few can enjoy it, but I got a plan. I got a scheme to develop this lake, and I think that you could appreciate it. Now, no need really for you to look at these, see, cause you can envision this better than these folks can draw. But I want you to look at these figures. Now, here's the interesting part. For only 30 or 40 million dollars, you can...
- Charles Morse: Ah.
- Styles: I beg your pardon?
- Charles Morse: I thought for a moment you were just being courteous.
- Styles: Well, what do you mean?
- Charles Morse: Nothing. It's not...
