Thomas Jopson quotes from The Terror

Francis Crozier

I'm afraid I need to ask the four of you for a favor that will likely be a great imposition. And... There couldn't be worse timing, I understand. But there also couldn't be a greater need. I'm going to be unwell, gentlemen. Quite unwell, I expect. And I don't know for how long. A week? No. Two. Perhaps... Perhaps more. And not only must you draw the tightest possible curtain around what is happening, but you must also care for me as well, as I will not be able to care for myself.

Thomas Jopson

You needn't worry for a thing, sir.

Francis Crozier

I will be in no position to command. That will be for Captain Fitzjames, for all things. And you must be my proxy here, Edward.

James Fitzjames

Francis -

Francis Crozier

No. I'm sorry, but we mustn't stop until it is finished. I mustn't stop, and you mustn't let me. I may, I may beg you. Take this out to the spot where the thing's blood is and pour it out there.

Thomas Jopson

How do you feel?

Francis Crozier

Like Christ, but with more nails.

Thomas Jopson

You're lucky you weren't just shot back there, Mr. Hickey.

Cornelius Hickey

Do you have a sudden gift for aim, Jopson?

Thomas Jopson

Everything we ate growing up started with a gun. My aim's fine, Mr. Hickey. I've shot smaller hawks than you.
