The Martian Chapter 12 Quotes

How we cite the quotes:
(Chapter.Paragraph)

"You really think I'll leave you behind?" Martinez said.
"I just ordered you to," Lewis replied. (12.111-112)

This takes a lot of guts. If you had any doubts about Commander Lewis' leadership skills, then this exchange surely must've changed your mind. Lewis would willingly trade places with Mark if given the opportunity.

Mark Watney

With all of the focus on Mark, it's easy to forget how much time the rest of the crew spends away from home. Plus, they got so close to Earth and had to turn back around. That stinks.
