A lotta angst, a lot of "I'm sixteen, I'm angry at my father" syndrome? I mean grow up. We're stuck on an island with a bunch of violence-for-pleasure-seeking psycophatic marines, SHAME-ON-THEM."

• (Nicolas Cage) "If the rocket renders it aerosol, it could take out the entire city of people."
• (Sean Connery) "Really? And what happens if you drop one?"
• (Nicolas Cage) "Happily, it'd just wipe out you and me."
• (Sean Connery) "How?"
• (Nicolas Cage) "It's a cholinesterase inhibitor. Stops the brain from sending nerve messages down the spinal cord within thirty seconds. Any epidermal exposure or inhalation and you'll know. A twinge at the small of your back as the poison seizes your nervous system --"
