Ryan Johnson: Ben Grogan

Quotes 

• 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.

• 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 : 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.
