Thomas Barrow
- [Thomas is reading the blinded Lt. Courtenay's post aloud to him]
- Thomas Barrow: "Things cannot be as they were and, whatever you might think, Jack has your best interests at heart."
- Lieutenant Edward Courtenay: Stop.
- Thomas Barrow: Who's Jack?
- Lieutenant Edward Courtenay: My younger brother. He means to replace me.
- [laughs quietly]
- Lieutenant Edward Courtenay: It's what he's always wanted.
- Thomas Barrow: [awkwardly] Yeah, well...
- Lieutenant Edward Courtenay: I'm sorry. I mustn't bore you.
- Thomas Barrow: [almost shyly] Don't let 'em walk all over you. You've got to fight your corner.
- Lieutenant Edward Courtenay: What with?
- Thomas Barrow: Your brain. You're not a victim, don't let them make you into one.
- Lieutenant Edward Courtenay: [with a sad smile] You know, when you talk like that, I almost believe you.
- Thomas Barrow: You should believe me. All my life they've... pushed me around... just 'cause I'm different.
- Lieutenant Edward Courtenay: How? Why are you different?
- Thomas Barrow: [glancing at him] Never mind. Look... look, I don't know if you're going to see again or not. But I do know you have to fight back.
- [Edward places an affectionate hand on Thomas' knee, and Thomas covers his hand with his own]
