Harold Perrineau: Augustus Hill

Quotes 

• Augustus Hill : Billy Shakespeare, in his last will and testament, left his wife, Anne Hathaway, his quote, "second best bed." Now, Shakespeare had abandoned Anne and the kids years before and had only come back home to Stratford when his bones started to creak. Was the second best bed a joke between a husband and wife, or was it Shakespeare's ultimate fuck you?

• [last lines] 

  Augustus Hill : At the end of the day, a bed is the best friend you got. Sure, the mattress may be lumpy, the springs may have sprung, the bed itself may be in some seedy motel or in Oz. The bed beckons you. It comforts, cradles 'til you sleep. If you're lucky enough to have the right person lying next to you, shit, there ain't no reason you got to get out of that bed come morning. Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.

• Augustus Hill : "You made your bed, now lie in it." Can anybody tell me what the fuck that means? You don't go through the trouble of making your bed, smoothing out the sheets, fluffing up the pillows just to ruin it all by lying down. The phrase should be, "You laid in your bed, now make it." The point being, you've got to be responsible for your actions. Responsible.
