Quotes 

• Danny Embling : I don't think fate is a creature or a lady... like some people say. It's a tide of events sweeping us along. But I'm not a fatalist, because I believe you can swim against it... and sometimes grasp the hands of the clock face... and steal a few precious minutes. If you don't... you're just cartwheeled along. Before you know it, the magic opportunities lost. And for the rest of your life... it lingers on in that part of your mind... which dreams the very best dreams... taunting and tantalizing you with what might have been.

• Danny Embling : Suddenly, there were much bigger worlds again, and some small place in them for me.

• Melissa Miles : Good game.

  Danny Embling : Yeah. Three badly injured so far.

  Melissa Miles : You don't sound very patriotic.

  Danny Embling : No, I'm not. I'm here for anthropological reasons.

  Melissa Miles : Huh?

  Danny Embling : Football. It's a form of mating ritual. That's why you're here, isn't it?
