Quotes 

• Partridge : You always knew.

  [begins to read from Yeats] 

  Partridge : "But I, being poor, have only my dreams. I have spread my dreams under your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams." I assume you dream, Preston.

• John Preston : I'll do what I can to see they go easy on you.

  Partridge : We both know they never "go easy".

  John Preston : Then, I'm sorry.

  Partridge : No, you're not. You don't even know the meaning. Its just a vestigial word for a feeling you've never felt.

• John Preston : There's no war. No murder.

  Partridge : What is it you think we do?

  John Preston : No. You've been with me, you've seen how it can be - the jealousy, rage.

  Partridge : A heavy cost. I pay it gladly.

  [Reaches for his gun] 

• John Preston : When we return from the Nether it always reminds me of why we do what we do.

  Partridge : It does?

  John Preston : [pauses; He takes notice of Partridge's intonation]  I beg your pardon?

  Partridge : [Withdraws Prozium-administering device from his pocket and injects himself with it]  It does.
