We’ve made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here!

…a tractor trailer comes along and decapitates him. You know what that means; it means he doesn’t have a head. How am I suppose to write for a guy who doesn’t have a head?

[Sam Spade](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000007/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): Miles hadn’t many brains, but he had too many years of experience as a detective to be caught like that, by a man he was shadowing, up a blind alley, with his gun tucked away in his hip and his overcoat buttoned. But he would have gone up there with you, Angel. He was just dumb enough for that. He’d have looked you up and down and licked his lips and gone, grinning from ear to ear.
