Paul Cassidy: Pub Visitor #2 (1389)

Quotes 

• Dream : Did I hear you say you have no intention of ever dying?

  Hob Gadling : Uh, yeah. Yeah, that's right.

  Dream : Then you must tell me what it's like. Let us meet here again, Robert Gadling, in this tavern of the White Horse in 100 years.

  Pub Visitor #2 (1389) : [laughs]  A hundred years and I'm Pope Urban!

  Hob Gadling : Don't mind them. A hundred years' time, on this day? I will see you in the year of our Lord 1489, then.

  Pub Visitor #2 (1389) : Who was that, then, Hobsie?

  Hob Gadling : Haven't a clue. But tell you what, I'll ask him in a hundred years' time.

• Hob Gadling : Look, I've seen death. I lost half my village to the Black Death. I fought under Buckingham in Burgundy. It's not like I don't know what death is. Death is... stupid.

  Pub Visitor #2 (1389) : You're a fool, Hob.

  Hob Gadling : Nobody has to die. The only reason people die is... is 'cause everyone does it. You all just go along with it. But not me. I've made up my mind. I'm not going to die.

  Pub Visitor #2 (1389) : Hobs, death comes for every man.

  Hob Gadling : You don't know that. I might get lucky. There's always a first time. There's so much to do, so many things to see: Women to swive, ale to drink, people to drink with!

  Dream : Why would any sensible creature crave an eternity of this?

  Death : You could find out.

  Dream : How?

  Death : I could grant him his wish.

  Dream : Do that, and he will be begging for death within a century, I assure you.

  Death : This will prove very interesting.
