A scene from The Book of Eli 2010
Lombardi
[Leading Eli and Solara through the Alcatraz prison converted into a place of learning]

We've been doing this for a long time now. Feels like a museum. No, it's much more than that. This is where we're going to start again. We've got a printing press. It'll be operational quite soon. We're going to teach people about the world they lost. Help them start to rebuild it. I mean, look. Shakespeare. Britannica, missing only a few volumes. There's a whole series of beautiful Mozart and Wagner records... in still very pristine condition. But never a Bible. Well, not until now. Well, may I ask what condition it's in?

Eli

It's beat up, but it will do the job.

Lombardi

Do you think I could see it?

Eli

Yes, you may.
