Delightful Dialogue: Big Fish

Ed: People needn't worry so much. It's not my time yet. This is not how I go.
Will: Really?
Ed: Truly. I saw it in the eye.
Will: The old lady by the swamp?
Ed: She was a witch.
Will: No, she was old and probably senile.
Ed: I saw my death in that eye, and this isn't how it happens.
Will: So how does it happen?
Ed: Surprise ending. Wouldn't want to ruin it for you.

~ Albert Finney and Billy Crudup in Big Fish (2003)

Screenplay: John August
