A scene from Cast Away 2000
Stan

So you missed the last truck by two minutes, huh?

Chuck Noland

Two minutes. Actually, it was less than that.

Stan

Well, the plane wasn't that heavy; you could've added fuel, picked up the speed and made up the time.

Chuck Noland

It was about the trucks. Today's truck was two minutes late, tomorrow's will be four minutes late, and then six minutes late, and then eight minutes late, and the next thing you know, we're U.S. Mail.

Stan

Yeah, well, all's I'm saying is, if you'd gotten all those trucks on the plane those Russkies would be walking on water right now. [to Gwen, while pouring some wine] Hey, now, don't-- don't give me that look. It's just grape juice. Right, Chuck?

Chuck Noland

Yeah, it's like a 1992 full-bodied grape juice.

Pilot Gwen

I see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.

Stan

Well, we'd offer you some but, you know, somebody's got to fly the plane.

Pilot Gwen

Yeah, well, I just say no, right? Listen, Stan, I've been meaning to ask you. How's Mary?

Stan

Oh. Uh, well... we really don't know anything yet.

Pilot Gwen

Mm-hmm.

Stan

Uh, she went to the doctor yesterday, and uh... it hasn't me-- metastasized as far as they can tell right now. It's just kind of wait and see.

Pilot Gwen

I'm so sorry. Would you tell her I'm gonna come by and see her on my next layover? I just want you to know, Stan, we are all just thinking about her and you, and just blessings.

Stan

Thank you, Gwen, thank you.
