EARLY: The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there’s no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room. You are gonna help me look for her.
SIMON: I don’t think my last act in this ‘verse is gonna be betraying my sister.
EARLY: You’re gonna help me. ‘Cause every second you’re with me is the chance to turn the tables. Get the better of me. Maybe you’ll find your moment. Maybe I’ll slip. Or, you refuse to
help me, I shoot your brain out, then I go upstairs and spend some time violatin’ the little mechanic I got trussed-up in the engine room. I take no pleasure in the thought, but she will die weeping if you cross me.SIMON: You’re outta your mind.
EARLY: That’s between me and my mind. Let’s start with these rooms.

BOOK: Have you ever read the works of Shan Yu?
SIMON: Shan Yu, the psychotic dictator?
BOOK: Yep. Fancied himself quite the warrior poet. Wrote volumes on war, torture… the limits of human endurance. He said “live with a man 40 years, share his house, his meals, speak on every subject. Then tie him up and hold him over the volcano’s edge. And on that day you will finally meet the man.”
SIMON: What if you don’t live near a volcano?
BOOK: I expect he was being poetical.
SIMON: Sadistic crap legitimized by florid prose. Tell me you’re not a fan.
BOOK: I’m just wondering if they were. The people who did this to River.

NISKA : Now. We get to spend some time finding out about your true self, yes. Tell me - Are you familiar with the works of Shan Yu?
