GRIMSDOTTIR: Fisher, I have tapped into CTU's surveillance's system. Chloe O' Brian is in Buchanan's office. That should buy you a few minutes so you can access her terminal.
FISHER: Good. I want to have a look at her MP3 collection.
Sam Patch began working as a child laborer in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, in a textile mill. When he was not working, he entertained other boys by jumping off the mill dam. By his mid 20s he was working at a mill in Paterson, New Jersey, and was jumping off ever-higher spots. He was beginning to attract crowds for his well-advertised stunts. In September 1827, he jumped off the 70-foot Passaic Falls in New Jersey, pleasing a large crowd that had gathered.
Patch continued his career jumping from bridges, factory walls, and ship's masts. He became the first of Niagara Falls' famous daredevils.
Patch was the star attraction at an event designed to draw visitors to the falls. A 125-foot ladder was rigged for Sam's jump over the gorge below Goat Island opposite the Cave of the Winds. Less than an hour before the scheduled noon jump, a chain securing the ladder to the cliff wall snapped, breaking 15 feet from the ladder. Rescheduled for 4 PM, Patch jumped on time. A boat circled near the entry point, but Patch did not appear. When he was finally spotted on the shore, a great roar went up from the crowd. Sam Patch was the first to jump over Niagara Falls and live. Bad weather and the delay in his arrival drew a disappointingly small crowd for this jump, so Patch announced he would jump again. A few days later, 10,000 gathered to watch him keep his word. His slogan, "Some things can be done as well as others," became a popular slang expression across the nation.
Patch then went to Rochester, New York, to challenge the 99-foot-high High Falls. He jumped the falls one time privately, for practice, witnessed by his companion Joe Cochrane.
[edit] Last jump
His first jump on November 6, 1829 drew a disappointing crowd, so he picked Friday the 13th to do it again. After a pre-jump celebration in several local taverns, he threw his pet bear cub off the 25-foot tower he had built at the brink. Accounts from the 8,000 present differ on whether he actually jumped or fell, but he did not achieve his normal feet-first vertical entry. A loud impact was heard and he never surfaced. Rumors were passed that he had hidden in a cave at the base of the falls, and was enjoying all the excitement he had created. But his frozen body was found in the ice in Charlotte (Rochester) early the next spring by Silas Hudson. Local ministers were quick to blame the crowd for urging him to jump, and put the guilt of his death on them.
Mark 12:28 And one of the scribes came , and having heard them reasoning together , and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear , O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31 And the second is like, namely this , Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these

Unveiled on August 16, 1925, the Sam Houston Monument is one of the city of Houston's most recognizable images. It's located in the middle of a circular plaza in Hermann Park across from the Museum of Natural Science. The bronze equestrian statue was sculpted by Italian artist Enrico Filberto Cerracchio. The sculpture depicts General Sam Houston leading his men into battle and points the way to the San Jacinto Battlegrounds, site of the decisive battle of the Texas Revolution.

-Ilsa: Play it once, Sam, for old times' sake.
-Sam: I don't know what you mean, Miss Ilsa.
-Ilsa: [whispered] Play it, Sam. Play "As Time Goes By".
-Sam: Why, I can't remember it, Miss Ilsa. I'm a little rusty on it.
-Ilsa: I'll hum it for you. [Ilsa hums two bars. Sam starts to play] Sing it, Sam.

A kiss is just a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
