Quotes from

Zachary Teller: You're sweating! Thinking of the dead men's money is making you sweat! I blame myself. It's my fault for you being like this. Somewhere I must have done something wrong for you to be like this.
Christopher 'Chris' Teller: You're not going to take me up there?

Christopher 'Chris' Teller: [Agrily] I'd do more than that to get out of here!


Father Belacchi: They're getting up a rescue party to climb the mountain.
