Elliot: Alright, make sure you get me your requests for Mr Ningpopo as soon as possibleJoss: Two hookers and a single to MelbourneNick: Business or coach?
Elliot: Will that fit our wellhead?Joss: Do kangaroo’s crap in the bush?
Henry: It’s not the most grown up way to deal with thisSarah: Well maybe I don’t want to grow up!
Nick: Egress. Sounds pretentious enough to be a charity.
Nick: I should be singing ‘Old Man River’.Sarah: Please don’t.
Nick: I’m absolutely crazy about you. I can’t stop thinking about you, you’re always in my mind, you’re in my heart, you’re in every fucking beat of me. But I can’t go there with you. I can’t do it. Look at what happens to people around me, it’s not good. I’m not good for you.Sarah: (tears welling up) No, that’s not true…Nick: No, listen, believe me, if I could live this life again, I would never leave you for a second. (kisses her, then leaves)
Nick: Is that perfume? You’re wearing perfume in the middle of the fucking desert? (laughs bitterly)
Nick: Well Elliots no good, is he. All he gives you is the Buddists version, all fucking temples and gentle people, which is bullocks.
Nick: Where do you think you are? St Elsewhere?
Nick: You’re not wearing perfume.
Sarah: (in a letter Nick is reading) I hope when you’re reading this letter, that I’m sitting there next to you and you’re telling me that I’m stupid for writing it, and crazy for trying to find you. But how could I not? It’s you. All this time, so many years apart. I’ve missed you. But I have never been without you. I’ve woken up with you every morning, and gone to sleep with you every night. You have always been with me. Your courage, your smile… your damn stubborness. There has never been any distance between us, and there never will be. I love you Nick. I love you.
Sarah: (To Nick) I’m worried about you. Here. I’m worried that something’s going to happen to you. Everyday, for four years, every morning, I wake up and wonder if you’re okay, where you are, if you’re still alive… (he kisses her)
Sarah: Elliot wanted to dedicate his life to helping other people… and in the end, he died for them. Be proud of him. Miss him, but be proud of him.
Sarah: I believe the British call it a olitical irony?Elliot: Yeah well, Nick calls it a clusterfuck. But that’s Nick, not one to mince his words.
Sarah: I wonder, do we all know where we belong? And if we do, in our hearts, why do we so often do nothing about it? There must be more to this life. A purpose for us all. A place to belong. You were my home. I knew from the moment I first met you, that night, so many years ago…
Sarah: Perhaps we are all refugee’s from something. But I see now there is nothing to fear, that the world we hold onto, the lives we cherish, are a part of something greater, something more. It took me a lifetime to realise; we only have one heart, and we must be true to it.
Sarah: Why do you never say my name?Nick: Sorry?Sarah: You never say my name. Why?Nick: (pauses) What’s the first thing you do when you get a cold?Sarah: What?Nick: What’s the first thing you do when you get a cold?Sarah: Uh… chicken soup, aspirin, scotch…Nick: You never just have the cold?Sarah: I don’t know what…Nick: (interupts) Taken nothing. Just have the cold?Sarah: NoNick: No, and that’s us, right? We drown it. Kill it. Numb it, anything not to feel. You know, when I was a doctor in London, no one ever said ‘medahani’. They don’t thank you like they thank you here. Cos here they feel everything, straight from God. There’s no drugs, no painkillers. It’s the weirdest, purest thing – suffering. And when you’ve seen that kind of courage in a li… (pauses, tears well up) …in a child…(pauses again) How could you ever waqnt to do anything but just hold him in your arms? (another pause) You remember that boy in London, JoJo?Sarah: Yes of courseNick: He was my first save, 10 years old. So thin he could barely stand. But he still found the strength the bury the rest of his family. We have no idea what courage is… He used to write me little notes. He helped me in the clinic. He was good. He was sweet, he was good. He wanted to be like me, I liekd that. I mean, it was silly and childish, but it made me feel good about myself. So I took him with me to London, you know, my talisman, my courageous Africa… (pauses) How could I be so bloody stupid? How could I be so totally selfish? (pauses again) The point is… he was my friend. He had a name. So now I HAVE to remember him. (looks at Sarah) If everybody I lose has a name…
Tao: You never forget that sound. First thing you hear is click, it’s your foot priming the landmine. Soon as you hear it, it’s over. But your mind go crazy, you know. You thinking, maybe if I jump, maybe if I find a rock to match my weight… But it’s nothing you can do. You hear click, and big bye bye.
Nick Callahan : I came here to help these people, and the only way I can do that is if I transport guns.
Sarah Jordan : You don’t have to transport guns to help people.
Nick Callahan : You do here.
Nick: If I could live this life again, I would never leave you for a second.
Sarah:Never forget what took me a lifetime to learn:you have only one heart, be true to it.
