Memorable Quotes from Eddie Rouse
6 quotesEchoes of Humanity's Aspirations and Negligence
Leland
Oh, how the whole world cheered to the thunder of earth's mightiest creation—Elysium. One small spark to ignite the heavens for the heroes to venture farther and farther than any of mankind's machines! And we slept. We slept a slumber so deep that no one had dared before...as three little Indians were left to mind the store.

The Rise of a Self-Proclaimed King
Leland
One little Indian left, alone with all his doom. He refuses to go to bed, so what does he do? He decides to stay up and play in his room. What nasty little games he would play with his slumbering prey. He was slayer, he was master. He was both God and the Devil! See, that's what some would say. He would grow to manhood, a self-proclaimed king. Master of his own vessel. Home to his own sin. He just cast out all who had behaved. Just exiled to the cargo hold to fend amongst themselves...and scavenge, feeding off their own. Evil grew. The king no longer wanted to play. So he returned to his bed of slumber. And while the king slept, a whole new world of evil grew...as we wept.

The Burden of Three Little Indians
Leland
Three little Indians with the burden to bear. No more law. Nothing left to care. Just three little souls whose destiny had become undone because there was chop chop chop chop... then there was only one. One little Indian left.

Survival and Morality in Extreme Circumstances
Bower
What are you doing?
Leland
Nothing personal, guys. It's just "survival of the fittest"... Or maybe it's the brightest, if you know what I'm saying.
Bower
You gassed us!
Leland
Oh yes! And I'm sorry, but I'm a little too old and too tired for the honorable way of hunting game.
Nadia
You better make sure I'm dead... oder ich reiss Dir Dein scheiss Herz raus du Wichser!
Bower
You don't have to do this. We're on our way to save the ship.
Leland
Don't sweat it. I wouldn't have survived this long if I had a heart.

Trusting Survival in Desperation and Despair
Leland
Question is, what would be more stupid? Trusting the ship will hold to see another day when it's kept me alive for all these years? Or trusting somebody who's desperate enough to say anything just when I'm about to carve a steak out of his girlfriend?
