A scene from Enemy Mine 1985
Willis E. Davidge

Don't you ever get tired of reading that book?

Jeriba Shigan

No.

Willis E. Davidge

Well, what's in it anyway?

Jeriba Shigan

Things.

Willis E. Davidge

Oh, for Christ's sake!

Jeriba Shigan

It is called Talman. It contains the words of our great teacher, Shizumaat.

Willis E. Davidge

I suppose you have to know the Drac language to read it, right?

Jeriba Shigan

It would help.

Willis E. Davidge

So teach me the Drac language.

Jeriba Shigan

It is not for you, Davidge.

Willis E. Davidge

Shizumaat is too good for us humans?

Jeriba Shigan

Not too good for humans, too good for you!

Willis E. Davidge

Now you're a judge of character!

Jeriba Shigan

Do you not remember what you say about Shizumaat?

Willis E. Davidge

Yeah, well, maybe you forgot about what you said about Mickey Mouse!

Jeriba Shigan

That was wrong. I... did not mean it.

Willis E. Davidge

I didn't mean what I said about Shizumaat either. Jerry, what are you...

Jeriba Shigan

This book must be given to the pupil. I then become the master. I am not worthy, but there is no one else here. Now read.
