The Tower (2005)

Richard Kahan: Baldric

Quotes 

• Baldric : What do you intend to do with it?

  Dr. Rodney McKay : Blow a hole straight up to the surface, assuming I can get it to fly in a straight line. I've never actually done anything like this before.

  Baldric : What'll happen if you succeed?

  Dr. Rodney McKay : Well, two possibilities. Either we create a nice sturdy shaft that will give us some much-needed air and provide a big enough gap for the radio signal to get through, or it will bring the already unsteady ceiling down on us, burying us both alive.

  Baldric : I prefer to imagine the first possibility.

  Dr. Rodney McKay : Yes, yes, the power of positive thinking. Very good. While you do that, I will rely on my experience and expertise.

  Baldric : You said you'd never done this before.

  Dr. Rodney McKay : General expertise. Will you be quiet while I do this?

• Baldric : I can't believe that worked!

  Dr. Rodney McKay : What happened to positive thinking?

  Baldric : I lied.
