Thanks. It's amazing what you can find, and learn on the way there, and what persons have said.

Plus I try not to quote from the same material in consecutive threads, and so had to leave the additional Bill Pullman's ID quotes for another time.
  • "I'm a combat pilot, Will. I belong in the air."
  • "The only mistake I ever made was to appoint a sniveling little weasel like you Secretary of Defense. However, that is a mistake, I am happy to say, that I don't have to live with. Mr. Nimzicki... you're fired."

You can see the clear similarities between these quotes and those Gandalf from RotK:
  • Your fingers would remember their old strength better... if they grasped your sword.
  • Saruman! Your staff is broken!

It's clear that the screenwriters of ID were in the same literary class as our good professor.
