Secrets and Consequences in a Security Protocol
Michael Drucker
It's a security protocol I implemented and I didn't tell you about it because I knew you wouldn't understand.
Dr Griffin Weir
What, what should I understand? The only thing I understand is that...you gave my wife ]!?

Drucker
Griffin, calm down. Someone made a mistake, all right? This was never meant to hurt Katherine.
Weir
Oh, it didn't hurt her, it just killed her.

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.

Debate on Cloning Ethics and Technology
Reporter
Doctor, protesters claim that cloning human organs will lead to cloning whole humans.
Dr Griffin Weir
That's not only illegal, we're years from the technology to do it. A human was cloned over ten years ago and we know the outcome of that bizarre experiment. If you recall, the Supreme Court ordered the clone be destroyed and I think that was the humane thing to do. It led to laws against human cloning and set back the course of legitimate research by years.
Reporter
Mr. Drucker. You gave-
Michael Drucker
This is Dr. Weir's night, okay?
Reporter
Is it true you want to get the 6th Day laws repealed?
Drucker
Dr. Weir is interested in medicine, not politics.
Reporter
Mr. Drucker, the protesters claim you run RePet at a loss to soften people up to human cloning.
Drucker
You know, we shouldn't forget that not long ago, there were almost no more fish left in the ocean and half the world's population faced the threat of hunger. Cloning technology turned that around. Extremists won't admit they'd rather people went hungry than eat cloned fish, so they yell about human cloning.
Reporter
Do you think human cloning laws should be changed?
Drucker
Suppose a ten-year-old boy is in the hospital, dying of liver cancer. Thanks to Dr. Weir's work, we can save that boy. In the next bed lies another ten-year-old boy whose parents love him just as much, only he has an inoperable brain tumor. You cannot clone a brain. The only way to save him would be to clone the whole person. How do you tell that boy's parents that we can save the first boy, but the research that would have saved their son wasn't done, because of a law passed by frightened politicians a decade ago?
Reporter
So, what does that mean? What are you going to do?
Drucker
Enjoy the party.

Discussion of Perfidia Beverly Hills' Affiliations
Virgil Throckmorton
Do you know a black militant by the name of Perfidia Beverly Hills?
Col. Steven J. Lockjaw
Yes, I do.
Virgil Throckmorton
And was she a member of the rebel group known as the French 75?
Col. Steven J. Lockjaw
She was.
Virgil Throckmorton
Colonel Lockjaw, did you engage in a romantic relationship with this woman?
Col. Steven J. Lockjaw
Gentlemen, I have engaged the enemy face to face in battle, and in the dark alleys and shadows of espionage. I was once raped in reverse.
Virgil Throckmorton
Raped in reverse? Could you explain how that might work for us, Colonel Lockjaw?
Col. Steven J. Lockjaw
The enemy employed deception. I was drugged, and while unconscious my brain was not working but my power was, and I believe I was taken advantage of.
Virgil Throckmorton
What kind of proof do you have? If you were unconscious, how do you know this to be true?
Col. Steven J. Lockjaw
I don't know it to be true, but I suspect it. When I awoke, there was sensitivity in a private place, and there was some residue of an interaction.
Virgil Throckmorton
Interaction?
Col. Steven J. Lockjaw
I believe she was a sperm thief.
Sandy Irvine
A semen demon?
Col. Steven J. Lockjaw
That's correct.
Virgil Throckmorton
Colonel Lockjaw, what would be the purpose of the enemy raping you in reverse?
Col. Steven J. Lockjaw
They saw the power of my mind and body. They desired it.
