What could I offer the local bad boy except my livelihood? Oh, I know. My body or my planes! Why didn't I think of that? Would you have preferred that I offer him my body, Nic, because I sure as hell wasn't going to sign over either of my planes! ↗

Listen up, Nic," she said firmly, looking straight into his gray-blue eyes. "If you die on me out here, so help me I'll hold seances and pester you. I won't give you a moment's peace in the hereafter," she threatened in a fierce whisper. Gabrielle O'Hara, River of Dreams ↗

Пока Сакаи летал к чужакам, он успел привести свой отсек модуля в «жилой» вид — то есть развесить по стенам черно-белые голограммы изъязвленных кратерами каменных пустынь, инопланетных болот и джунглей, разрушенных городов и просто затянутого дымами горизонта. Большинство незнакомых с Винни людей эта «готическая панорама» вгоняла в депрессию с первого же взгляда в отличие от самого пилота, любившего под настроение полюбоваться «местами, где я не погиб». ↗

My first movie was this independent that I did on the Erie Canal in 1995, called Erie, that I don't know if you could even get, actually with Felicity Huffman. And then from that I did this film that was eventually called The Broken Giant later that fall. And then I kind of started getting into doing pilots. ↗

When you accept a role in a pilot, you automatically sign up for five years. You think it's scary to walk down the aisle? Try signing a five-year contract for a show you may not want to be part of down the road. ↗
