Maybelle: [annoyed] You've got a lot of nerve coming back here, lawman. What is it that you want?
Rango: [dead serious] Yer pappy and them boys are gonna hang for something they didn't do.
[pause]
Rango: But I've got a plan...

Rango: [taken aback] Golden guardians... Alabaster chariot... The Spirit of the West!
[to Spirit]
Rango: Ahem... excuse me... Mister Spirit... sir?
Spirit of the West: [eyeing a fish hook] Now there's a beaut. Sometimes you have to dig deep to find what you're looking for.
[to Rango]
Spirit of the West: So, you made it.
Rango: Is this Heaven?
Spirit of the West: If it were, we'd be eating Pop Tarts with Kim Novak.
Rango: Yeah, ain't that the truth. What are you doing out here?
Spirit of the West: Searching... same as you.
Rango: [downhearted] I don't know what I'm looking for. I don't even know who I am.
[brighter]
Rango: They used to call you 'The Man with No Name'.
Spirit of the West: Nowadays, they have a name for just about everything. Doesn't matter what they call you... it's the deeds that make the man.
Rango: But my deeds just made everything worse. I'm a fake... a phony. My friends were counting on me. They were looking for some sort of hero.
Spirit of the West: [emphatic] Then be a hero!
Rango: [disbelief] Oh, no! No, no. I'm not even supposed to be out here.
Spirit of the West: That's right. You came out here looking for something that didn't exist. But don't you see?
[pause]
Spirit of the West: It's not about you... it's about them.
Rango: But I can't go back.
Spirit of the West: Don't think you have a choice, son.
[draws rectangle on windshield]
Spirit of the West: No man can walk out of his own story.

Character Evaluation
In the movie "Coherence", James Ward Byrkit successfully used the "closed space" narrative mode, allowing the characters to be imprisoned and shuttled through a number of relatively isolated parallel worlds, highlighting the deep contradictions and weaknesses of human nature through the extreme spatial environment, thereby Complete in-depth thinking about human nature. At the same time, this low-cost "brain-burning" science fiction film also relies on breakthroughs and innovations in story narrative, structural architecture and scientific concept interpretation, experimenting with an alternative success route for science fiction films. The film is more like an experiment to visualize scientific hypotheses. The eight characters have become mice under the lens of the director, deducing countless possible trajectories of fate. The director cleverly puts the obscure and esoteric scientific concepts through a house, eight characters, and several parallel worlds. The story narrative with clear lines and simple structure will not cause the audience to accept obstacles .
