• Will : We're going to need as much waterline as we can get.

  Joe : I've factored in the average weather in that part of Australia over the last 20 years. We've got to play the percentages.

  Will : You mean compromise?

  Joe : Yeah, of course. You always get to a point where you have to stop torturing yourself and play the percentages. You're afraid of committing yourself, you have the desire for perfection.

  Will : What's wrong with perfection?

  Joe : Nothing, if you're God, and you're prepared to wait 500 million years for it to evole. But we have to start building this boat next week.

• Will : We're out in the desert, so bring some beer!
