Charlie McGee : What have you done to my father?
Captain Hollister : He's resting, and he's fine, just like you. And he knows you're alright, and he sends his love, and he wants you to cooperate with us.
Charlie McGee : You're a liar!
Captain Hollister : Now, what kinda talk is that from a nice little girl like you?
Charlie McGee : GO TO HELL!
Captain Hollister : Oh. A very stubborn nice little girl. That's alright, I understand. I know you're tired, and you're not quite sure where you are, or why you're here, so I just wanna ease your mind, Charlie. Do you mind if I call you Charlie?
Charlie McGee : [glares at Hollister with murderous hatred]
Captain Hollister : Alright, Charlene...

John Rainbird : It's just... The dark. I can't stand it. It's just like the place they put me when I was captured.
Charlie McGee : Who put you?
John Rainbird : The Cong.
Charlie McGee : Who's "the Cong"?
John Rainbird : You mean to tell me... Oh, no, of course not, you're too young. It was the war, see. Vietnam. The Cong were the bad guys. They wore black pajamas. In the jungle we were on patrol. Walked into an ambush. Only about six of us got out. We ran. Went the wrong way. They caught me. Threw me in a hole in the ground. Like being buried alive. It was always dark like this.
Charlie McGee : What did you eat?
John Rainbird : They threw down rotted rice. Sometimes I'd eat spiders. Live ones. Great, big spiders. I'd chase them around in the dark... and kill them and eat them.
Charlie McGee : Gross.
John Rainbird : They turned me into an animal. You got it a little easier than me, kid, but it all comes down to the same thing. Like a rat in a trap.
