Jack Reacher (2012)

Michael Raymond-James: Linsky

Quotes 

• Linsky : I made a mistake. I mean, you can still use me, just, just tell me how to fix...

  The Zec : To survive. Don't say "fix it," because you can't. We covered up the one mess. You made another.

  Linsky : All right. You're right. You're right. You're absolutely right. I'm sorry. Just, tell me what I have to do.

  The Zec : I was in prison in Siberia. I spent my first winter wearing a dead man's coat. A hole in one pocket. I chewed these fingers off before the frostbite could turn to gangrene. These I gave up to avoid working in the sulfur mine. That is how I survived when so many others did not. A man this rare can always be of use. So show me. Show me you are rare. Show me you'll do anything to survive.

  Linsky : I don't understand.

  The Zec : The fingers from your left hand.

  Linsky : Have you... Have you got a knife?

  The Zec : Did I have a knife in Siberia?

  Linsky : No... Come on, you've, you've got to be kidding.

  The Zec : You can do it. Show me.

  Linsky : [tries to chew his thumb off]  Christ! Can't! I can't.

  The Zec : Always the bullet.

  Linsky : I can't!

  The Zec : I don't understand.
