- Ben Grogan: [they're negotiating the demands of hunger strikers] The downside is you may get taken hostage.
- Kate Reed: I can take 'em.
- Ben Grogan: Definitely if they don't eat for a few more days. But if you do screw up and I have to go in after you, I'll be like the only man on Amazon Island.
- Kate Reed: And then they could eat you.
- [snaps her fingers]
- Kate Reed: Problem solved. Game on.
- Warden Sara Wilkes: Well, let's see if the negotiating team will talk to us. They're in the cafeteria.
- Kate Reed: Well, that's a good place for a hunger strike.
- Warden Sara Wilkes: Will you be joining us, Mr. Grogan?
- Kate Reed: No. He won't. That would lead to an uprising.
- Ben Grogan: I tolerated it only until I realized it wasn't compassion making her save the dogs. It was compulsion. Does that sound familiar?
- Kate Reed: [eating, not caring about what he says] No. She was possibly displacing her need to have kids on the dogs.
- Ben Grogan: Precisely.
- Kate Reed: The thought of having kids with you must have been really upsetting.
- [taking the wind out of his sails]
- Kate Reed: Scout's word of honor, I will not tell another soul.
- Justin Patrick: You quit the Girl Scouts.
- Kate Reed: Yes, but I still keep my word.
- Kate Reed: This woman is no more a criminal than you or than,
- [emotional]
- Kate Reed: or than me, but she's gonna spend the next five years of her life locked up in a cage, and if, if you can sleep with that, good for you.
- Ben Grogan: I could swing a cat at a hundred things much worse than that. But I like to sleep at night, so I don't. You can't save the whole world.
- Kate Reed: I don't wanna save the whole world.
- [walks out, bumping against him on purpose]
- Kate Reed: I wanna save her.
- Ben Grogan: Big fancy exit.
- Kate Reed: [as she walks away] Oh, shut up!
- Ben Grogan: I've never done this wheel-balancing thing, but... people keep telling me I should. And I don't own that car. The car owns me.
- Kate Reed: I'm telling you, life is so much easier when you let other people drive you around.
