Quote context

- Just relax, boy. There is plenty of time. Pull up a chair, make yourself comfortable.

- Thanks.

- We're tackling something big here, Jackie. If we fail, no one will try it again for 20 years. But if we succeed...

- That I don't know.

- What do you think, Jackie?

- Well, I can try.

- Think you've got guts enough to play the game no matter what happens? They'll shout insults at you, they'll come into you spikes first, they'll throw at your head.
