Mars (I) (2010)

Paul Gordon: Hank Morrison

Quotes 

• Hank Morrison : [They've just been told by Mission Control there is no hope for survival after a meteor strike]  Where's the champagne?

  Casey Cook : I-I so don't want to die out here.

  Charlie Brownsville : We're not gonna die today. At least you two guys aren't.

  Casey Cook : What are you talking about?

  Charlie Brownsville : Look, I may be the redundant one here, but I do have three specialties that you two guys don't have. First off, I'm expendable.

  Casey Cook : None of us are expendable, Charlie.

  Charlie Brownsville : Come on Casey. Look, Hank's gotta fly this thing, you're a better astronaut than I'll ever be...

  Casey Cook : I didn't mean that...

  Charlie Brownsville : Look, it's true, 'n' we all know that, okay? Secondly, spacewalking. I am the best spacewalker alive today, 'least before I die out there.

  Hank Morrison : But that's irrelevant. We don't even have an EVA suit on board.

  Casey Cook : What's an EVA suit...?

  Charlie Brownsville : It's a jet pack I normally use to maneuver in space.

  Hank Morrison : You can't space walk without an EVA suit...

  [long pause] 

  Hank Morrison : Duh.

  Charlie Brownsville : Well, that's where my third specialty comes in: I'm a hero. Natural-born. The bravado's a little more than skin deep.

  Hank Morrison : What are you talking about?

  Charlie Brownsville : I'm gonna hold onto the ship. I'll unfold the array myself, manually.

  Casey Cook : Oh. No. Mm-mm. That's crazy. If you let go, there's nothing to bring you back. You could die out there.

  Charlie Brownsville : I probably will, but... by this time tomorrow I'll be dead anyway. At least this way I'll die useful... right?

  Hank Morrison : He's right. Better dead useful than... worthless.
