Papillon

I saw the heart-wrenching Papillon yesterday. And yeah, for the first time.
And more endearing than Steve McQueen (Papi), was the quirky counterfieter-Dustin Hoffman (Louis Dega).
Though it may be a story of perseverance and adventure, it was poignantly funny in parts, especially parts which focussed on Dega's conversations.

Clusiot: You're Louis Dega. I'm Clusiot. How come you ended up in a place like this?
Dega: Favoritism!

Prisoner: I know you, you're Dega. You're a very intelligent man!
Dega: Thank you. I seem to be known in all the wrong places.

Doctor : You're fine. Next!
Dega: Must be better than I feel.
