Dennis Farina: Robert Stroud

Quotes 

• Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy : [delivering books to Stroud's cell in D-Block]  How's the old Birdman?

  Robert Stroud : Breaking even. The way I figure it, it's better than breaking out.

  Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy : Thought you might've changed your mind.

  Robert Stroud : It ain't gonna work, Bernie.

  Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy : It'll work. It's *got* to.

  Robert Stroud : "Got to" won't get you outta here.

  Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy : It's all planned out.

  Robert Stroud : Yeah. Sure it is. Now, if you could only walk on water.

  Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy : We're taking over the boat.

  Robert Stroud : I wish you luck.

• Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy : Stroud! We got it! We're going! Straight through the yard, down to the boat!

  Robert Stroud : Now, how the hell do you do that?

  Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy : Hostages. Four guards. You can still come, you know. What do you say?

  Robert Stroud : I was dumb enough to get into this joint, Bernie. I ain't crazy enough to try and break out.

  Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy : Well, we're going.

  Robert Stroud : Where, Bernie? That's the problem. Where? Do you think it's worth it?

  Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy : I tell you the God's truth. If I have to wake up *one* more morning in a cement cage, nine by six, not even knowing if it's daylight outside... You'd better believe it's worth it.

  Robert Stroud : It's like I told you Bernie... Good luck.
