The Ruins quotes

  • Jeff: [grabbing a water bottle from Stacy] We should save this.

    Eric: Hey, she's thirsty.

    Jeff: I know, it's just that we don't have that much.

    Eric: Well why do you get to decide Jeff?

    Jeff: Okay, well we can all decide. But just keep in mind that each of us needs a half a gallon of water every day just to survive. And right now, we don't even have a day's worth.

  • Jeff: One of you has to go.

    Amy: Go? Go where?

    Jeff: Down. We're going to check the rest of the rope and make sure it's secure, and then one of you...

    Amy: [interrupting him] Why do we have to go? Why can't you or Eric?

    Jeff: Because you're not strong enough. We need to work the crank.

    Stacy: [after a long pause] I'll go.
