Christopher Nissley: David

Quotes 

• David : It's you...

  [chuckles] 

  David : it's amazing you know. In Okinawa, in Russia, on the bloody deck of a ship. Even way out on the farm, Haji, you seem to fit in. You just stand there, all stoic and quiet like that, and you never make waves.

  Haji : That is how I survive.

  David : It's not criticism. Though I'm sure it doesn't sound like much of a compliment, either.

  Haji : And you seem to survive behind a veil of cynicism, despondence.

  David : Yeah, you're right. I guess I'm the all-time epitome of discontent.

  Haji : It's not criticism.

  David : It's all right.

• Haji : Are you done fighting? Taking a break?

  David : Oh, yeah.

  [holds up a flask] 

  David : This fits in my hand better than a gun.

  Haji : But you don't seem to be enjoying it.

  David : Oh, did you get your therapist's license?

  Haji : Not at all. Just an observation.

  [looks amused]
