The Quest for Technological Supremacy
Evil

But why, if that's the case, are you unable to escape from this fortress?
[Evil obliterates him]
Evil
It's a good question. Why have I let the Supreme Being keep me here in the Fortress of Ultimate Darkness?
Robert
Because you—
Evil
Shut up. I'm speaking rhetorically.
Robert
Oh, of course.
Evil
I let Him keep me here in order to lull Him into a false sense of security.
