Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Hub (to a punk who asks him who he thinks he is): I’m Hub McCann. I’ve fought in two world wars, and countless smaller ones on three continents. I’ve led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords, to artillery and tanks. I’ve seen the headwaters of the Nile, and tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before. I’ve won and lost a dozen fortunes, killed many men, and loved only one woman, with a passion a flea like you could never begin to understand. That’s who I am. Now, GO HOME, BOY!"

  • While we don't hear all of it, the uncles tell the jerk who attacked Walter something pretty threatening. "So in short, it's a good thing that lion got a hold of you before we did."
