Plot: The Deserter, shot in the style of a silent comedy from the 1920's, takes place during the American Revolution in the late 1700's. A loyal British drummer, one of the thousands of British soldiers stationed in America, accidentally drops his canteen into a stream while trying to fill it. He, by chasing his floating canteen down the stream, puts into motion a series of events which will won't stop until he is dead. For a British officer sees him chasing his canteen and mistakes it for his trying to desert the British army by running away into the woods. The officer quickly orders two of the dumbest soldiers after him. The drummer, after catching up with his canteen gets lost in the woods and can't find his way back to the British encampment. When the two British redcoats catch up with the "deserting" drummer, things go from bad to worse for him, when he finally realizes he is being hunted down for execution. His accidentally killing one of these soldiers doesn't help his case either. The drummer briefly escapes... right into the hands of the Americans! In the meantime, the British forces, back at the encampment, march off to meet the American forces for a grand battle, which will rage for hours. And which all the soldiers hunting down the drummer will conveniently miss. The story doesn't end until the officer and his small band of men sees the deserter hanged, but is that really the end of the story?

Plot: Late in World War II, the Brits still want their hands on a German Enigma, the typewriter-like machine that constructs and sends coded messages. Parachuting behind enemy lines - with two days to find the factory where Enigmas are made, grab one, and get out - are an unlikely quartet: a queen, a pencil pusher, a bookworm, and an almost secret agent. Plus they are all dressed as women, with only a crash course from the queen. They reach their destination, rendezvous with their German contact, a lovely librarian, and start their search. They seemed doomed to fail; is this a fool's errand?

Quotes:
[first lines]::The Storyteller: This is the story of a story. Once upon a time there was this story, and the story said to itself, how should I begin?::Hector: Try the usual way.::The Storyteller: What, in the dark with a man and a woman, in a story that is still to tell itself?::Hector: Well, you've got to start somewhere. Say, long long ago... Or, far far away... Or, another time in a different distant country... Or just, once...::The Storyteller: That's good. "Far away", so you know the place is close to your own heart. "Once" is nice, so we know that it always happens. Hmm, Once there was this hero...::Hector: [wryly] Some hero.::The Storyteller: Some man then. Any man. Say, a man, a woman, and some children. Don't forget the children.
Hector: [holding a dish] If the world is round, you could still fall off the edge.::Boy: No, it's not round like that, it's round like this. [holds up a ball]
Lucinnius: I would be honored if you would die with me.
Cyprion's man: You ever killed before?::Hector: Just a couple of chickens.
The Storyteller: They were as close to friends as two mutual slaves to money may be.
Hector: [from trailer] There's never enough time. No time to stop and think, "What have I learned?" Try to stay in control. It's not as easy as it sounds. Is this the same for everyone? Are we all doing this to one another? This bickering and mocking? Can it be better than this? We're all in it together, making the same mistakes, getting into the same jams, having lousy Fridays over and over and over and over and over...
Hector: It's been some day. *Everything* happened.
Hector: I've got to go to my home.

Quotes:
[Quigley has been beaten and left for dead in the Australian desert]::Crazy Cora: Don't worry, on a new job it's quite common for things not to go well at first.
Matthew Quigley: Lady, you're about a half a bubble off plumb, and that's fer sure and fer certain.
[Lost in the Outback]::Matthew Quigley: I don't know where we're goin', but there's no sense bein' late.
Crazy Cora: Things seem different here. They say God made Australia last, don't you know, after he got tired of making everything else the same.::Matthew Quigley: Well, I seen some pretty country, that's for certain.
Elliott Marston: Ah-ha. The legendary Sharps.::Matthew Quigley: You know your weapons. It's a lever-action, breach-loader. Usual barrel length's thirty inches. This one has an extra four. It's converted to use a special forty-five caliber, hundred-and-ten-grain metal cartridge, with a five-hundred-forty-grain paper patch bullet. It's fitted with double-set triggers, and a Vernier sight, marked up to twelve-hundred yards. This one shoots a mite further.::Elliott Marston: An experimental weapon with experimental ammunition.::Matthew Quigley: You could call it that.::Elliott Marston: Let's experiment.
Elliott Marston: [O'Flynn and Dobkin prepare Quigley for an old-fashioned duel] I seem to remember you're not too familiar with Colonel Colt's revolver, so this will be your first lesson. Don't worry. Mr Dobkin and Mr. O'Flynn will ensure that it's a fair contest.::Elliott Marston: [Marston starts walking backwards] I'll just back up a few paces... And to your left a bit, that's it... Now you're right in front of my old pistol target.::Elliott Marston: [Marston slips his coat back to reveal his holster] Some men are born in the wrong century. I think I was born on the wrong continent. Oh, by the way, you're fired::Matthew Quigley: This ain't Dodge City. And you ain't Bill Hickok.::Matthew Quigley: [Quigley shoots Dobkin, O'Flynn and Marston before they can even aim their guns, then walks up to a dying Marston] I said I never had much use for one. Never said I didn't know how to use it.
Elliott Marston: [Marston is knocked out of his house, through a window. His hands come running]::Elliott Marston: No man knocks me out of my own house! [stomps back inside] [pause]::[Marston is again knocked out of his house, through a different window]
Major Ashley-Pitt: In our experience, Americans are uncouth misfits who should be run out of their own barbaric country.::Matthew Quigley: Well, Lieutenant...::Major Ashley-Pitt: Major.::Matthew Quigley: Major. We already run the misfits outta our country. We sent 'em back to England.
Crazy Cora: I remember once my Granddaddy told me how, when you're lost in the desert, you should sleep during the day and walk at night.::Matthew Quigley: Your Granddaddy tell you that? Did he also tell you we'll die, in the the desert, without those horses?::Crazy Cora: Well, what good are horses, if we die of thirst?::Matthew Quigley: Once in a while she actually makes a little sense.::Crazy Cora: What did you say, Roy?::Matthew Quigley: Never mind.
Crazy Cora: You know, if we're lost, you can tell me.::Matthew Quigley: We're lost.::Crazy Cora: I can take bad news. Just tell me straight.::Matthew Quigley: I don't know where the hell we are.::Crazy Cora: No sense takin' time to make it sound better than it is.::Matthew Quigley: I reckon we're goin' in circles.::Crazy Cora: Wire things up and I'll see right through. So, just tell me honestly. Are we lost?::Matthew Quigley: Nope. I know exactly where we are.::Crazy Cora: That's good, 'cause, frankly, I was gettin' a little worried.
