Lawrence Harris: Excuse me, Jack, but what, if anything, are you against? Jack Stanton: I'm against doing nothing while people are suffering. I'm against going against any idea that might help because it isn't my idea. Senator, you have met these people. You have looked into their eyes. Are you saying we should do nothing to help unless we come up with it?

Susan Stanton: What's the crisis? Richard Jemmons: Say you're out in the woods takin' a shit, and a wild boar comes charging at you. Do you pull your britches up and run? Or do you pull your britches up and grab the doves you just shot and then try to run all at the same time? Or do you forget about the fuckin' doves and run because you ain't got time to grab the doves and button your fly? And if you miss, well... you don't wanna die with your dick hanging out, you see what I'm sayin'? Susan Stanton: I think I speak for everyone in the room when I say "no".
