Vincent Benedict
This must, uh, be where you made the milkshake.
[points to a device in the lab]

We weren't making milkshakes. We were making the most fully developed human the world has ever seen.
Vincent Benedict
But instead of just one perfect kid, Mom had the two of us. Way to go, Mom.
[smiling]
Mitchell Traven
Wrong. The embryo did split in two, but it didn't split equally. All the purity and strength went into Julius. All the crap that was left over went into what you see in the mirror every morning.
Vincent Benedict
Wow, wow, wow, you're telling me that I'm the crap?
Julius Benedict
This is not true, Vincent.
Vincent Benedict
Wait a minute, Julius. I wanna hear this. You're telling me that I am the left over crap? That I'm no good?
[to Traven]
Julius Benedict
He's wrong.
Mitchell Traven
Look at him.
[points at Vincent]
Vincent Benedict
Are you saying that... I'm a side effect?
Mitchell Traven
You haven't got the brainpower to understand this, and I don't have the time. Show's over.

Food riot in progress. Approximately 1,500 civilians. No weapons are evident.

Dispatcher
As you were, Richards. Proceed with Plan Alpha. All rioters must be eliminated.

Perspectives on Women and Attraction
Vincent Benedict
Women love men who are mysterious and devious. It keeps them on their toes. It excites them. You know what I mean?
Julius Benedict
No.
Vincent Benedict
You do like women?

Oh, very much so. They're strange and sensitive. They have compassion. I have the highest respect for women.

The Reality of Orphan Fantasies
Julius Benedict
Why are you being so immature about all this?
Vincent Benedict
Look, Julius. Do you know how many times I've heard stories like this? It's every orphan's fantasy: "My real mom and dad were rich, and beautiful. But... there was a mix-up at the hospital. And I got switched with another baby. But one day, there's gonna be a knock at the door. And there they'll be, with open arms, crying, My darling. My treasure. We didn't know. How can we make it up to you?'" Let me tell you something for your own good, Julius. It's a CROCK!

Confronting Responsibility in Crisis
Satan
It wasn't your fault.
Jericho Cane
I wasn't there.
Satan
No, you were just- You were out doing your job.
Cane
I wasn't fucking there!
Satan
Oh, look at you. Torn apart by guilt. You didn't do anything wrong. You were an honest cop. You didn't take money. You had to testify against them even after they threatened your family. Most people would never testify against those guys. They're not like you. You had to do the right thing. And where was God, hmm? He could've stopped it, but he didn't. He fucked you, then He made you feel guilty. Me, I don't do guilt. I didn't do what happened here. He did. Now you just think about that, then you tell me who's really your friend. I can make it like it never happened. All for the price of a stranger's address.
Cane
NO! You will never see the girl!
[furiously punches the mirror to break illusion]
Satan
Now you're making me upset. You don't want to see me upset.
Jericho Cane
Oh, you want to fuck with me? You think you know bad, huh? YOU’RE A FUCKING CHIOR BOY COMPARED TO ME! A CHIOR BOY!!!
[enraged]
Satan
You're in touch with your anger. I admire that. Well, I don't know about you, but I'm going to have a drink. You and I are so much alike.
Cane
We're nothing alike! Nothing!
Satan
Look at yourself. Look at this. Look at what you are now. You walked away from the light, just like me. You want one?
Cane
You need to get out, now.
Satan
Come on. You know what's in your heart. We're on the same side.
Cane
I'm not on your side, and I never will be.
Satan
You're on His side? He's the one who took away your family. Let me tell you something about Him. He is the biggest underachiever of all time. He just had a good publicist, that's all. Something good happens: "It's His will." Something bad happens: "He moves in mysterious ways." You take that- that overblown press kit they call the Bible. You look for the answer in there, what do they tell you? "Shit happens." Please. He treated you like garbage. You walked away. I'm not the bad guy.
[scoffs]
Cane
What about the End of Days?
Satan
Think of it as a new beginning. A change of management. And you'll be right there with me on the ground floor. It will be so cool. Tell me what you want. Tell me what you really want, and I'll give it to you.
Cane
I'll tell you what I want. I want you to go to hell.
Satan
Well, you see, the problem is sometimes... ...HELL COMES TO YOU!

The Paradox of Love and Conquest
Sonja

Kalidor
If you yield only to a conqueror, then prepared to be conquered.
Sonja
Don't be a fool, I don't want to kill you.

Financial Struggles Between Estranged Brothers

Vincent Benedict
Why do you keep saying that? We're not twins, were not brothers, we're nothing.
Julius Benedict

Struggles of Identity Between Twin Brothers
Vincent Benedict
My life just got flushed down the toilet.
Julius Benedict
No, Vincent.
Vincent Benedict
I'm genetic garbage.
Julius Benedict
We're twins. We're basically the same.
Vincent Benedict
Look, Julius, I don't know if you've noticed yet, but we don't look the same, we don't talk the same, and we don't dress the same!
Julius Benedict
I know.
Vincent Benedict
So if we're so alike, how come we're so goddamn different?
Julius Benedict
We had six fathers. We're many parts of a lot of different people.
Vincent Benedict
Yeah?
Julius Benedict
And don't forget, I was taken to a beautiful island, I was cared for, educated, looked after. You had nobody, Vincent. No one to love you, teach you, or encourage you. You see, Vincent, you're the missing part of my life. And I'm the missing part of your life. And when we find Mama, we can be the missing part of her life. We won't be alone anymore. We can be a family.
Vincent Benedict
A family?
Julius Benedict
Yes.
Vincent Benedict
You mean, like, with a Christmas tree... and Thanksgiving dinner?
Julius Benedict
And a real home, where you'll always be welcome.
Vincent Benedict
Always?
Julius Benedict
Even when you've been bad.

Unexpected Betrayal and Misunderstanding in Relationships
Albert Gibson
Same thing happened to me with wife number two, remember? I had no idea nothing was going on. I come home, and the house is empty. I mean, completely empty. She even took the ice cube trays out of the freezer. What kind of a sick bitch takes the ice cube trays out of the freezer?
Harry Tasker
It's not Helen.
Gibson
Helen still loves you. She just wants to bang this guy for a while. It's nothing serious. You'll get used to it soon...
Tasker

[slams Albert against a post]
Gibson
What'd you expect? Helen's a flesh-and-blood woman, and you're never there. It was just a matter of time. I say we concentrate on work. That's what I do every time my life turns to dog shit. I concentrate on work, and that gets me by. Right, buddy? It's gonna be great. We're gonna catch some terrorists. We're gonna beat the crap out of them. You're going to feel a hell of a lot better. Watch your head. Women: Can't live with em; Can't kill em.

Jericho Cane
Why don't you tell us something we don't know?
Chicago
A homicidal priest. That's good.
Marge Francis
Yeah? Well, it gets better. He studied at the Vatican. He was one of their alleged visionaries. Came here in 81 to St. John's Church downtown. Six months ago, he disappeared. Priest there say he was having a spiritual crisis.
Chicago
Oh, yeah. That's what this is about. Spiritual crisis.
Jericho Cane
Doesn't make any sense. What's a priest doing shooting at a Wall Street banker?
Marge Francis
A Wall Street banker, by the way, who suddenly disappeared.
Chicago

Marge Francis
What girl?

Uh, the guy. The guy, priest guy.

The Ethics of Life and Death Choices
Michael Drucker
Adam, I'm not making this offer because I have to. I can get everything from your memories. The fact is, I'd like you to understand you'd be serving a higher purpose. In two years, three tops, I will control enough votes to get the laws changed. We won't have to lose our Mozarts. We won't have to lose our Martin Luther Kings. We will have finally conquered death. We will have finally conquered death.
Adam Gibson
And who decides who lives and who dies, you?
Drucker
You got a better idea?
Gibson
Yeah. What about God?
Drucker
Oh. You're one of those. I suppose you think science is inherently evil.
Gibson
No. I don't think science is inherently evil. But I think you are.
Drucker
If you believe God created man in His own image, you believe He gave man power to understand evolution, to exploit science, to manipulate the genetic code. To do exactly what I'm doing. I'm just taking over where God left off.
Gibson
If you really believe that, then you should clone yourself, while you're still alive.
Drucker
Why's that? So I can understand your unique perspective?
Gibson
No. So you can go fuck yourself.

Dickless! I mean, let's face it, if they took care of business, I'd be out of business! You know what I mean?
[laughs]
Harry
Those idiots!

Morning Exchange Between Chicago and Jericho Cane
Chicago
Honey, I'm home!
Jericho Cane
I was just pulling myself together.
Chicago
It's gonna take a lot more pulling. You are looking very sharp this morning.
[opens the curtains as Jericho shields his face]
Jericho Cane
Thanks.
Chicago
You're welcome. You got about five minutes to get ready. Here. There's enough caffeine in this to kill an elephant. Oughta get you started.
Jericho Cane
So what's today?
Chicago
Transport.
Jericho Cane
Anyone special?
Chicago
No, just some Wall Street scumbag.
Jericho Cane
Why the hell does he need all this protection?
Chicago
Well, I guess he fucked with some people that didn't like being fucked with.
Jericho Cane
Personally, I like scumbags. They pay better.

Understanding the Number of the Beast
Jericho Cane
Why don't you stop all this church talk and tell us what the hell is going on? Who's after her?
Father Kovak
Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll try to explain. You know anything about the number of the beast? Revelation of St. John from his dream?
Christine York
6-6-6?
Father Kovak
The number of the beast is not 6-6-6. Often in dreams, numbers appear upside down and backwards. So, 6-6-6 becomes 9-9-9. Like in 1999, the year of his return.
Christine York
What does that have to do with me?
Father Kovak
Regressus Diaholi: The Return of Satan. Does any of this look familiar to you? She's been chosen. He's in her blood. The Holy Church has been searching for you since the day you were born.
[Christine shows her birthmark]
Christine York
Chosen for what?
Father Kovak
Every thousand years, on the eve of the millennium, the Dark Angel comes and takes a body, and then he walks the Earth looking for a woman who will bear his child. It all has to happen in that unholy hour before midnight on New Year's Eve. If he consummates your flesh with this body, then he unlocks the gate of Hell and everything we know it ceases to exist.
Jericho Cane
So, the Prince of Darkness wants to conquer the Earth, but has to wait until an hour before midnight on New Year's Eve? Is this Eastern time?
Father Kovak
It's got nothing to do with New Year's Eve. It has to do with a temporary celestial alignment. The Gregorian monks studied the heavens. They were able to calculate the precise moment of this event. They created our calendar by mapping this event and counting backwards from that moment.
Jericho Cane
It was a mistake to come here.
Father Kovak
It doesn't matter whether you believe or not. He's real and he won't rest till he finds this girl.
Christine York
Why did he pick me?
Father Kovak
Because the stars were right when you were born. A man's body was also chosen, just like yours.
Jericho Cane
If the devil does exist, why doesn't your God do anything?
Father Kovak
It's not my God. It's our God, and He doesn't say that He will save us. He says that we will save ourselves.
Christine York
Save myself? What am I supposed to do? Get a restraining order?
Father Kovak
We have to have faith.
Jericho Cane
Faith.
Father Kovak
Yes, faith. It's an interesting concept. If you read the Bible, you can't miss it. Faith!
Jericho Cane
Between your faith and my Glock nine-millimeter, I take my Glock. Come on. Let's go.
[to Christine]
Father Kovak
I'm afraid it takes a person of pure heart to defeat pure evil. You did your job. You brought her here to people of faith. We'll protect her. We'll hide her.
Jericho Cane
You know, you live in a different world. We have some real serious problems here, and this is not solving them.
Father Kovak
Satan's greatest trick was convincing man he didn't exist.

A Threatening Conversation Before Action Begins
Samir
Is there anything you want to tell me before we start?
Harry Tasker
Yeah. I'm going to kill you pretty soon.
Samir
I see...How, exactly?
Tasker
First I'm gonna use you as a human shield, then I'm gonna kill this guard over there, with the Patterson trocar on the table. Then I was thinking about breaking your neck.
Samir
And what makes you think you can do all that?
Tasker
You know my handcuffs?
Samir
Hmm...
Tasker
I picked them.

Christine York
What are you doing?
Jericho Cane
Trust me.
[whispers into her ear]
Satan
You're not gonna kill her.
Jericho Cane
You said it yourself. I have a dark heart.
Satan
Then stand with me!
Jericho Cane
I'll tell you what. You let us both out of here and I'll stand wherever you want. Step back, or I'll pull the trigger.
[Satan moves]
Satan
I didn't want to kill you, but now you leave me no choice.
