I love the line in which Thayer David says, "I don't sleep. I hate those little slices of death." And only Thayer David could have delivered the line the way he did.
I also was amused that less than five minutes after uttering that line, what happens? He gets killed . . .
There are many great, original lines in this film.
One of my favorite is, "Are we to be abducted every day in Iceland?"
i loved the slice of death quote :)
shareI also love the scene shortly after Prof. Lindenbrook and Alec learn of Goteborg's murder.
Prof.: We will now observe one minute of silence for a great scientist...even though he was a blasted thief.

Thayer David was always one of my favorite character actors. He's about the only reason I sit through "The Eiger Sanction".
