Carter: Bravo. Sit down.
[Porter does]
Carter: My compliments. They were two of my best.
Porter: No, they weren't. They lull too easily.

Carter: I don't want Mr. Bronson hearing about this... he'll think I'm getting soft. One of his principles has always been: if you don't understand it, get rid of it... a stitch in time, so to speak, so... stitch this mutt up, Phil.
