James Eckhouse: Jeep Owner

Quotes 

• [Daniel and coworker are in large Jeep] 

  Daniel Miller : Why do you drive this?

  Jeep Owner : What?

  Daniel Miller : I'm curious. I see people driving these things. What do you know that I don't? Are floods coming? Hoover Dam broke? What's going on?

  Jeep Owner : I like this car.

  Daniel Miller : It's not a car, it's a battering ram. This is what Patton drove: "Hey you, soldier! Follow us!"

  Jeep Owner : Make fun, but in an 8.5 earthquake, you'll beg for a Jeep.

  Daniel Miller : In an 8.5 earthquake, I'll beg for a coffin.

• Daniel Miller : You don't wanna be alone on your birthday.

  Daniel Miller : What better day to be alone? I don't have that hang-up like other people do about your birthday and parties. You were born alone, you should celebrate it. Celebrate aloneness. That's what birthdays are for.

  Jeep Owner : Gee, I never thought of it like that.

  Daniel Miller : It's a pitiful theory.
