Miles Matheson quotes from Revolution

Miles Matheson

[To the militia] You know, you could just let me go. I'll drink myself to death.

Miles

If Monroe got the power going, that would mean tanks, and planes, and factories. He'd steamroll the entire continent and he'd butcher the other Republics.

Miles

There are a lot of men out there, okay! And sooner or later, they're coming in. So we are gonna Shawshank our asses outta here.

Miles

That uncle you knew when you were little? Not dead. I just, I can't be him right now. Because I'm gonna have to kill Monroe. I've to walk to Philly and kill my best friend.

Miles

[to Charlie] It's irritating when a dumb kid tells you what to do, isn't it!

Miles

[to Monroe] You're not the same person. You're too far gone. I see it now. We are not family, not anymore. I have a family. You are nothing to me.

Charlotte 'Charlie' Matheson

Why did Monroe want my Dad? Why does he want you?

Miles

Monroe thinks your dad knew something. Something important. And he thinks your Dad told me, so I must know it too.

Charlie

What?

Miles

Why the lights went out. Maybe how to turn them back on.

Charlie

Where are you going?

Miles

Huh, this little place called - Shut up and stay here!

Nora

Wow, can you boil everything down to getting laid?

Miles

Yeah.

Miles

He's their CO (Commanding Officer). We can trade him. His life for ours.

Miles? Its really you, isn't it!

Who's Miles?

Charlie

You know this guy?

Jeremy

Oh, you really don't know. Do you?

Charlie

How do you know him?

Miles

Well, they're gonna find out sooner or later. Go ahead. Tell them.

Jeremy

This is Miles Matheson. Commanding General of the Monroe Militia. Damn founding father of the Republic. Second only to Sebastian Monroe himself. He taught me everything I know.

Miles

Corporal.

I'm a Sergeant now.

Miles

Well, let's be honest, you're a sociopath, is what you are. Before the blackout, you were locked in a rubber room.

Did you ever consider that maybe society was sick, not me?

Miles

[with all his snarky panache] No. I never considered that.

Miles

What do you think will happen if Monroe figures out that necklace?

Aaron

I don't know. He'll turn the lights on and buy the world a Coke?

Charlie

You look terrible.

Miles

[winking] That's part of the charm.

Nora

You have any idea what's on the other side of that door?

Miles

We're probably walking straight into a militia ambush.

Aaron

Well, that will be par for the course at least.

Miles

Are you ready to do this?

Charlie

Are you?

Miles

Not really. But, what the hell, huh?

Monroe

Did you hear we're running out of bullets?

Miles

What?

Monroe

We've been shooting so many rounds for so many years, at all these bandits, all these militias, we're running low. We're gonna have to ration. Or start using swords. We'll be like pirates.
