Hawkins' Assistant:
The problem appears to be neurological. The more you use the harness, the more dependent on it you become. Dr. Miles Hawkins: It's a technical problem. All progress comes at a cost. Hawkins' Assistant: The harness is destructive, Doctor! If you continue to wear it, you sacrifice any hope of recovery. Dr. Miles Hawkins: It's my body, Injia. I wouldn't dare test it on anyone else. If you don't like it, I can have you on the first plane back to Africa. Hawkins' Assistant: But then you'd have to find new assistants. [laughs] Hawkins' Assistant: I can just imagine the interview process, Doctor. [They both laugh] Dr. Miles Hawkins: I can always quit if I have to. Hawkins' Assistant: But you won't. You enjoy it too much, the freedom, the danger... perhaps even the violence. You're becoming addicted. Dr. Miles Hawkins: Don't ever presume to tell me about violence. It never touched me. I was blind, and it took a bullet to open my eyes. Hawkins' Assistant: It is the next bullet that I am worried about. You can not change the world on your own, Doctor! Dr. Miles Hawkins: I have a debt to pay, Injia! If I can help, I will, no matter what the cost. Hawkins' Assistant: As you say, Doctor. Nobility, it is the best excuse in the world. See more » |
