Robert Ridgely: Don Quixote

Quotes 

• Don Quixote : [Sees the ARK driving along a road in the distance]  Do my eyes deceive me? The giant white dragon has come to do battle with the great Don Quixote de la Mancha!

  Sancho Panza : Pray look again, Master. Yon be not a dragon, but a machine.

  Don Quixote : I tell thee it is the giant white dragon. And I shall slay it. Charge, great Rosinante!

  [Rosinante does not move] 

  Don Quixote : Charge!

• Don Quixote : [Believing Adam to be his unrequited love under a sorcerer's spell]  My fair Margarita, together we shall restore your former beauty.

  Adam : No way!

• Don Quixote : [In the ARK, addressing Jonah on the video screen]  Commander! Answer me, Commander!

  Jonah : [Exasperated]  What is it, Mr. Quixote?

  Don Quixote : Be of stout heart, for I am coming to your rescue!

  Ruth : But Mr. Quixote!

  Don Quixote : Young lady, I am a fool and I am a dreamer. I am a ridiculous old man who would wish the world to be other than it is. But I am not a coward!

  Ruth : But that's a chance in a thousand.

  Don Quixote : Let it be one in a million! For I, Don Quixote de la Mancha, will rise to the challenge!

• Don Quixote : Faster, Rosinante, faster! The fate of a daring young man hangs in the balance! Faster, you winged marvel!

• Don Quixote : By heaven, young man, thou art a brave one!

  Jonah : By heaven, Don Quixote, thee aren't bad yourself.
