  • Canton Delaware: Mr President, that man walked in here with a big blue box and three of his friends, and that's the man he walked past. One of them is worth listening to. I say we give him five minutes and see if he delivers.

And the day is coming when I'll look into that man's eyes, my Doctor, and he won't have the faintest idea who I am. And I think it's going to kill me.
