Not _Animal House_. It’s the first line from the Western _Silverado_. The film opens with a man dying of heat and thirst in the desert, and a second man appears, gets off his horse and gives him a drink from his canteen. The first line is the rescued man’s response.

_The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert_ (funny movie)

“Did you have a nightmare? I have nightmares, too. Someday I’ll explain it to you, why they came, why they won’t ever go away, but I’ll tell you how I survive it. I make a list in my head… of all the good things I’ve seen someone do. Every little thing I can remember. It’s like a game. I do it over and over. Gets a little tedious after all these years, but… there are much worse games to play.”
