Calvin Caspary
- Calvin Caspary: In a world of vagaries and inconstancy, Captain, it amuses me to set a course and to stick to it.
- Calvin Caspary: Death of the father does free the son.
- Captain Miller: It's an expensive freedom.
- Calvin Caspary: Freedom is the greatest prize of all. Why shouldn't the cost be high.
- Calvin Caspary: "Ask and it shall be granted."
- Captain Miller: I thought it was only for the pure of heart.
- Calvin Caspary: Uh, am I not?
- Calvin Caspary: The truth is a bore, Miller. It is without charm. You see, all my life it's been my ambition never to learn or to speak more than half the truth. Now, if I hadn't done that, you see, the tedium would have killed me, literally.
- Calvin Caspary: In deference to you, I have take to carrying a gun. I loathe carrying one. It ruins the drape of my suit.
- Calvin Caspary: Freedom comes when you break chains, destroy rules, and sail at will. In other words, freedom is choice unfettered by other men's puny customs.
- Calvin Caspary: Is this your logbook? Everything's written down there. Everything's in there to be looked up again. There's no secret, no mystery. I like to begin each day by erasing all traces of the one before. I mean after all, why carry the baggage of yesterday into tomorrow?
- Captain Miller: You've killed men. I can see it in your face.
- Calvin Caspary: Well, if you say so, I don't remember.
- Captain Miller: Maybe you should keep a log.
