Reflections on a ruthless political figure
Yuri Orlov President Baptiste was my best customer, but I was in no hurry to meet him. He got the reputation for routinely hacking of the limbs those who opposed him. His seven years of civil war has been described as a relentless campaign of sadistic wanton violence. That kind of sums up Andy for me.

Longlegs The seventh she to be given the same choice they've all been given. Crimson, or clover. Accept the gift and destroy, destroy yourself and yourselves. Or keep it. And bow down. Bow all the way down. And get right down to the dirty, dirty work. Work that gets dirty as it cleans. Like a mop. Like a rag.
Lee Harker You don't work alone, do you? Somebody's been helping you. An accomplice.
Longlegs Knock knock! On the farmhouse door. A nice lady with a Bible and a congratulations! You have been selected! You may now collect your gift from the church.

Lee Harker But your work's over. It's done. And you're gonna be in here for the rest of your life.

Phil Bergman We have to let everyone know. We have to call the NOAA.
John Koestler They already know. The announcement will come anytime now. I thought there was some purpose to all this. Why did I get this prediction if there's nothing I can do about it? How am I supposed to stop the end of the world?

Power Dynamics in Gang Leadership
Smokey You know, if there were gangs around like in the old days, I'd be running things, not you. You'd be second lieutenant. You might have gotten by for a while on the Motorcycle Boy's rep, but you have to be smart to run things. You ain't got your brother's brains. It's nothing personal, Rusty James. But nobody would follow you into a fight because you'd get people killed - and nobody wants to be killed.

Desire and Self-Worth Through Intimacy

If you poured bourbon onto your naked body and said to me "drink this". If you spread your legs and you had bourbon dripping from your breasts and your pussy and said "drink here" then I could fall in love with you. Because then I would have a purpose. To clean you up and that, that would prove that I'm worth something. I'd lick you clean so that you could go away and fuck someone else.

Confrontation of Love and Manipulation
Jeremiah Sand You and that ugly little whore. You think you're so… in love. I'll show you love. Lucy. Kneel.
[whispers in Lucy's ear]
Jeremiah Sand Now show him… how much you love me.
Red Miller No. No. No. No. No!
[struggles]
Jeremiah Sand Another pearl... wasted before swine.
[after the revolver only clicks]
Brother Swan Yeah. Take a good look, you piece of human excrement. This is the Tainted Blade of the Pale Night. Straight from the Abyssal Layer.
Jeremiah Sand Poor stupid pigs. Born without souls. You know what Jesus big mistake was, huh? He didn't offer up a sacrifice in his stead. The cruciform is a constant reminder of that.
[takes the blade from Brother Swan; stabs Red in his side]
Confrontation and Self-Reflection in Crisis
Eddie Am I a fucking retard, man? Am I a fucking retard, huh? I know what this is. Lou tried to snuff me out because of his crazy little nephew being around. Well VIVE LA FUCKING FRANCE MAN!
Acceptance of Truth and Judgment
Ben Sanderson We both know that I'm a drunk. And I know you are a hooker. I hope you understand that I am a person who is totally at ease with that. Which is not to say that I'm indifferent or I don't care, I do. It simply means that I trust and accept your judgment.
[to Sera]
Confrontation of Power and Desperation
Jeremiah Sand You unholy abomination! You aren't even worth my spit! It's all that hate in your heart… that's to blame. It follows you everywhere, man. Follows you everywhere. I can still help you. It's not just your life I can save. No. It's your goddamned soul.
Jeremiah Sand No, no! No, no! Please, please. Please don't hurt me! Can't you see this was all part of your journey? A journey that led you to me… to your salvation, your cleansing… by my hand…
Jeremiah Sand I'll blow you, man! I'll suck your fucking dick! Is that what you want? Please! Please! Please talk to me.
Jeremiah Sand No. No. I don't kneel before you! You kneel before me! I carry God's gift in my heart, not you! So you kneel before me, motherfucker!
Red Miller I'm your God now.
Unforeseen Challenges in Crisis Preparedness
John McLoughlin We're prepared for everything. Car bombs, chemical, biological, an attack from the top. But not this. Not for something this size. There's no plan. We didn't make it.
