    I love The Great Santini! The book more than the movie, mind you.

    Simon (to Jayne, his patient): "No matter what you do, or say or plot, no matter how you come down on us… I will never, ever harm you. You're on this table, you're safe. 'Cause I'm your medic, and however little we may like or trust each other, we're on the same crew. Got the same troubles, same enemies, and more than enough of both. Now, we could circle each other and growl, sleep with one eye open, but that thought wearies me. I don't care what you've done, I don't know what you're planning on doing, but I'm trusting you. I think you should do the same. 'Cause I don't see this working any other way."

    "When asked by the New York Times to explain his creative process, Stallone remarked that he was 'astounded by people who take 18 years to write something.' 'That’s how long it took that guy to write Madame Bovary,' he added. 'And was that ever on a best-seller list? No. It was a lousy book and it made a lousy movie.'"
