Consequences of Vendetta and Personal Pain
Walter Mabry
Before you die, Dylan, I would like you to really take this moment in because this is the consequence of your personal vendetta come to life and staring you in the face. I also want you to know that when you're gone, we're not going to stop. We're gonna destroy everything you believe in, starting with the Horsemen, and ending with the Eye. Now then, cast your mind back to standing by the banks of the river watching your father descend, disgraced and discredited. The horrid psychic pain as you have relived for years. I felt that same thing two years ago as you drained not just my father's fortune, but his dignity! And yet you took pleasure from it. This should bring back some childhood memories.

Hope for a New Life with Sirius
Harry Potter
You see Sirius talking to me there? He's asking me to come live with him. When we free him, I'll never have to go back to the Dursleys. It'll just be me and him. We could live in the country, some place you can see the sky. I think he'll like that after all those years in Azkaban.

The Importance of Self-Belief in Growth
Harry Potter

Avenge and Connection: A Deep Rivalry
Dylan
What do you want?
Walter Mabry
We need you to understand something very important. You and I are mirror images. You see, because like you, I share a very deep connection with my father. And like you, I'll stop at nothing to avenge any wrongs done to him. You know the only difference between your father and mine? No? Well, guess what? Mine's still alive. Get him up.
[to his henchmen]
Arthur Tressler
So... this is the man who's spent a lifetime plotting against me. I wouldn't have known your face if it had been on a billboard outside my bedroom window. And you've spent, what? 30 years... thinking about mine?
Dylan
When my father died, your insurance company denied my mother her claims. And she died a pauper!
Arthur
I wouldn't have even known who your mother was! She was a digit, a nanobyte in a stream of data.
Dylan
Because nothing is personal to you, and everyone and everything is just a number, isn't that so?
Arthur
That is where you're wrong, Mr. Rhodes. Once you've made yourself known, it became very clear, very personal. My son...
Dylan
Yeah; the sociopath.
[referring to Walter Mabry]
Arthur
The funny thing is, I have seven so-called legitimate children. Sniveling, snobbish, selfish, stupid runts. I have one illegitimate child who's a lot like me. The point is, he desperately wants something very much, and like any good parent, I will stop at nothing to get it for him. Your Horsemen have it. You will turn it and them over to us, now.
Dylan
I'm sorry, but the answer is no.
Arthur
Then I'm afraid you must die.

The Predictability of Illusion
Walter Mabry
