Top rated lines from this movie

I don't like traveling. Makes me homesick. If I can't see the same old streets when I open my eyes in the morning, I want to go right back to sleep.

Do you know what you are to me? You're all the world outside. You're all those lights and music we were speaking of. With you, I escape! See? Heh!
No! I'm caught here! Like a bear in a hole. Dogs barking. Hunters all around. No way out of it.
