Cast Away

"Gotta love crab. In the nick of time too. I couldn't take much more of those coconuts. Coconut milk is a natural laxative. That's something Gilligan never told us."

"We were enroute from Memphis, for eleven and a half hours, for 475 miles an hour, so they think that we're right here. But, we went out of radio contact, then flew around that storm for about an hour, so that's a distance of what, 400 miles? Four hundred miles squared, that's 160,000 times pi, 3.14... 502,400. That's a search area of 500,000 square miles. That's twice the size of Texas. They may never find us."

"Here we are today. That gives us another month and a half until we're into March and April, which is our best chance for the high tides and the offshore breezes. We need... we need 424 feet of good rope, plus another 50 feet, say, for miscellaneous, that, round that off to 475 feet of good rope. Now, if we average 15 feet a day, plus, we have to build it, we have to stock it, we have to launch it. That's gonna be tight. That's not much time. But, we... we live and we die by time, don't we? Now, let's not commit the sin of turning our back on time. [chuckles] I know, I know."

"This is it. That's all that's left. I checked over the whole island, and that is all that's left. So we're gonna be short. Short. We'll just have to make some more out of videotape. Yes. No, we have time. We do, we have time! Look, the wind's still blowing in from the west. I know. Yeah, I know! I know where there's 30 feet of extra rope! But... but I'm not going back up there."

"I'm always going to keep this on Memphis time. Kelly time."

"Four years ago, the FedEx family lost five of our sons. That was a terrible and tragic day. But today, one of those sons, Chuck Noland, has been returned to us. Chuck, welcome home."

"I'm Kelly's husband. Jerry Lovett. Kelly wanted... Kelly wanted to be here... Look, this is very hard for everyone. I can't even imagine how hard it is for you. Kelly, uh... she's had it rough. First when she thought she lost you, and now dealing with all of this, it's confusing, it's very emotional for her. She's... she's... sort of lost. Maybe you could just give her a little more time. Anyway, uh... I'm sorry that..."

"Chuck Noland: I absolutely, positively have to get to Memphis tonight."
