Skeet Ulrich: Jake Green

Quotes 

• Heather Lisinski : I don't think this is such a good idea.

  Jake Green : No choice.

  Heather Lisinski : Well, then, at least let me do some work on the car.

  Jake Green : There's no time, I have to go now. Wha-wait, you said it was sturdy.

  Heather Lisinski : Well sturdy yeah but what if you need to out run something?

  Jake Green : Why, how fast will it go?

  Heather Lisinski : I don't know, 30, maybe 40 miles an hour- best case, down hill- and not for very long. See this is what I'm saying. Maybe you should go on horseback.

  Jake Green : A horse is slower than that.

  Heather Lisinski : A horse is less likely to explode.

  Jake Green : I'll take my chances.

  Heather Lisinski : Ok, well then at least open her up easy, make sure you have enough car left in case you need to ask for a lot in a hurry. And remember, the gas tank on the thing is on the left hand side, so if somebody decides to start *shooting* at you, make sure it's not on that side.

  Jake Green : Ok, anything else?

  [she looks worriedly at him, then kisses him] 

  Heather Lisinski : Come back in one piece.

  [he chuckles] 

  Jake Green : I will, I promise.

  [pause. She still has her arms around him] 

  Heather Lisinski : I-I thought you were gonna go.

  Jake Green : I'm waiting on Eric.

  Heather Lisinski : Oh.

  [she pulls away] 

  Heather Lisinski : Um, watch out for giant irradiated ants out there.

  [he laughs] 

  Jake Green : Always do.

  [uncomfortably] 

  Heather Lisinski : Ooook.

  [she leaves while Jake stares after her] 

• Jake Green : Mallow cups.

  [snaps fingers] 

  Jake Green : That's what they were called.

  Eric Green : God I loved those.

  Jake Green : They were the best. I always got so much more candy than you remember?

  Eric Green : Cause you cheated! You'd trick or treat the whole neighborhood in one costume and then you'd go do it again in another.

• Jake Green : Emily

  Emily Sullivan : Why are you talking to him?

  Jake Green : It's ok. It doesn't have anything to do with you.

  Emily Sullivan : He's my father, it has everything to do with me.

• Jake Green : That's my car.

  Jonah Prowse : You left it out there.

  Jake Green : Yeah but it was destroyed.

  Jonah Prowse : Lovingly restored. I told you there was a lot of good stuff on the roads. This one I didn't even have to fight for. Besides, she was mine first.

• Eric Green : Uhh what the hell. Is that what we're driving?

  Jake Green : Yeah, I mean it's not actually a... Yeah.

• Jake Green : Hello, Jonah.

  Jonah Prowse : Jake. Been a long time.

• Jake Green : I can talk to Jonah.

  Gray Anderson : You can talk to Jonah? Find him - ...

  Jake Green : He lived up to his end of the deal.

  Gray Anderson : And why the hell are you protecting this guy?

  Jake Green : I'm protecting this town. He can get things we're gonna need.

  Gray Anderson : What can he get?

  Jake Green : He can get food; he can get gas, he can get ammo. Could you get that stuff if we needed it tomorrow? Could you? 'Cause he can. We'll do this my way now.

  [takes gun away from Gray] 

• Jonah Prowse : I want to talk to Emily.

  Jake Green : She doesn't want to see you.

  Jonah Prowse : She blames me for Chris's death. Things might be different if she knew whose fault it really was.

  Jake Green : I didn't send him on that job, all right, you did. I tried to talk him out of it.

  Jonah Prowse : He needed a lookout; someone to watch his back. You left him alone

  Jake Green : A lookout? He needed a father.

  Jonah Prowse : All right. Maybe it is time Emily learns the truth about what you did.

  Jake Green : I told her. I told her, I told her everything.

  Jonah Prowse : Did she forgive you?

  Jake Green : No.

  Jonah Prowse : Neither do I. Get her to see me, or I'll do business wherever the hell I please.

  Jake Green : I can't.

  Jonah Prowse : Then I guess we don't have a deal.
