Wendy Raquel Robinson: Hawkins' Assistant
Quotes
-
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.
