The Dying of the Light (1996)

Paul Winfield: Jeffrey Robbins

Quotes 

• Jeffrey Robbins : So you've said goodbye, but there's something else you're not telling me.

  Hudson : Nothing of importance.

  [starts to leave] 

  Jeffrey Robbins : Losing your sight isn't important?

  Hudson : [Gasps]  What do you mean?

  Jeffrey Robbins : Please Hudson, I'm blind not stupid.

• Hudson : [Robbins is calling an optimologist for Hudson]  She can't help me, no one can. I'm not like her other patients.

  Jeffrey Robbins : Why? Because you're a gargoyle?

  [Hudson gasps. Robbins talks into the phone] 

  Jeffrey Robbins : Yeah, you heard me, Cornelia, my friend Hudson is a gargoyle... Oh, I knew you'd be thrilled.

• Jeffrey Robbins : I'll have my driver bring the car around and by the way, don't *ever* do that again.

  Hudson : Do what again?

  Jeffrey Robbins : Figured I'd be a bigot about you being a gargoyle or anything else.

  Hudson : How could I have assumed the worst of man in you when you truly are the best! I'm sorry.

  Jeffrey Robbins : Accepted. Now let's go.

• Hudson : What do you think a gargoyle is, Jeffrey? We protect our castle or we die trying! That's it! And I can't do that blind!

  Jeffrey Robbins : Hey, I'm a good solider too, Hudson. How do you think this happened to me? The only difference between us is, I've never quit fighting.

• Hudson : [the Quarrymen are coming after Hudson]  No. I'll not be leaving. There are innocents here in harm's way because these animals are wanting me. I have to protect them 'til help arrives. That's what a gargoyle does.

  Jeffrey Robbins : But Hudson, you can't see.

  Hudson : Someone said being blind doesn't mean you can't be of use. Now's the time to prove it.

• Jeffrey Robbins : [on knowing Hudson is a gargoyle]  It wasn't hard to figure out that soon. Late-night visits only, your accent, that smell...

  Hudson : What smell?

  Jeffrey Robbins : Well, you tell me, sorta like... old leather and concrete? Uh, but in a good way.
