"Death Wish" Line-by-Line

Q: The guy in the jeep, who picked you up after your own vehicle broke down that summer afternoon, isn't that right?
 
GINSBERG: Oh, man, he was a lifesaver. My van died and they dragged it off the road because of all the traffic. It was backed up for miles.
 
GINSBERG: Yeah, I was supposed to be on the follow spot up on tower three. I never would have made it in time if it weren't for him. Hey, whatever happened with that groovy chick with the long red beads in the back seat? I've been looking for her ever since you dropped me off.
 
Q: To sum up, you were a spotlight operator at an outdoor concert of some sort. A concert that was put in jeopardy moments before it was to begin, because the entire sound system failed.
 
GINSBERG: Oh, it was no big deal. Somebody must have snagged an extension cord with one of the trucks, that's all. I'm just lucky I noticed it.
 
Q: Yes, lucky you were at the right place at the right time, or it would have taken days to track down the problem and there would have been no concert.
 
Riker: Well, I'm sorry to say I have met him (looks at Q), but I've never seen this man before in my life (looking at Quinn).
 
Riker smiles.

Riker: Sure I have. That is Colonel Thaddeus Riker after he was wounded at Pine Mountain. They used to call him "Old Iron Boots." He was in command of the 102nd New York during General Sherman's march on Atlanta. This picture was taken in 1864, just after they let him out of the army hospital.
