Quote O' Matic
Chuck Noland:
"We both had done the math. Kelly added it all up and⋯ knew she had to let me go. I added it up, and knew that I had⋯ lost her. 'cos I was never gonna get off that island. I was gonna die there, totally alone. I was gonna get sick, or get injured or something. The only choice I had, the only thing I could control was when, and how, and where it was going to happen. So⋯ I made a rope and I went up to the summit, to hang myself. I had to test it, you know? Of course. You know me."
[⋯]:
"And the weight of the log, snapped the limb of the tree, so I-I - , I couldn't even kill myself the way I wanted to. I had power over nothing. And that's when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket. I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive⋯ somehow. I had to keep breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope. ⋯and all my logic said that I would never see this place again."
[⋯]:
"So that's what I did. I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And one day my logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in, and gave me a sail. ⋯and now: here I am; I'm back; in Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass. ⋯and I've lost her all over again; I'm so sad that I don't have Kelly; ⋯but I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island. ⋯and I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?"
