Confrontation of Truth and Fear
Damien Thorn
I know you're there, Mark. Why are you running away from me, Mark?
[''Walks around to face him'']
Mark Thorn
I know who you are.
Damien Thorn
You do?
Mark Thorn
Dr. Warren knows. I overheard him talking to Dad.
Damien Thorn
And what did he say?
Mark Thorn
He said that... the Devil could create his own image on earth.
Damien Thorn
The Devil? What else did he say?
Damien Thorn
Say it, Mark.
Mark Thorn
He said you're the Beast.
Damien Thorn
Come on! What are you talking about?!
Mark Thorn
I've seen what you can do! Your father tried to kill you! Everyone said it was because he was crazy, but it was because he knew!

Confronting the Dark Truth of Danger
Ann Thorn
You can't make me believe it.
Richard Thorn
You've got to believe it. He killed Mark. He killed Atherton and Pasarian.
Ann
What are you talking about?
Richard
And he'll keep on killing. He'll kill anyone he thinks is threatening him!
Ann
How? How did he kill them? Did he make the ice crack?
Richard
Not himself.
Ann
Did he pull the gas pipe apart? Did he?
Richard
There are others. Surrounding him, helping him, keeping him safe.
Ann
Richard, listen to yourself! Listen to how crazy you sound! Others! Devils! A conspiracy of devils? Richard, please!
Richard
Ann, I saw Charles killed! I saw Damien's face on the Wall!
Ann
What are you going to do? Richard? What are you doing?
Richard
The daggers have to be here somewhere.
Ann
What do you want them for? No. No!
Richard
He's not human!
Ann
He's your brother's son. He's a boy you've loved for seven years!
Richard
The boy has got to die!
Ann
Richard! For me, Richard, don't.
Richard
Ann, what are you doing? Get away from that drawer!
Ann
What you want to do is crazy. I can't let you!
Richard
Ann!
Ann
You're obsessed with Damien. It's making you sick.
Richard
Give me the daggers.
Ann
There are your daggers!
Richard
Ann?
Ann
I've always belonged to him.

Knowledge and Perception in Conversation
Sergeant Neff
What were you trying to do, Damien?
Damien Thorn
I was just answering questions, Sergeant.
Sergeant Neff
You were showing off.
Damien Thorn
No, I just knew all the answers. Somehow, I just knew them all.
Sergeant Neff
You mustn't attract attention.
Damien Thorn
I wasn't trying to. I just felt...
Sergeant Neff
The day will come when everyone will know who you are, but that day is not yet here.
Damien Thorn
What do you mean?
Sergeant Neff
There are things you don't understand. Read your Bible. In the New Testament, there is a Book of Revelation. For you, it is just that - a book of revelation. For you. About you. Read it. 13th chapter. Read. Learn. Understand.
Damien Thorn
What am I supposed to understand?
Sergeant Neff
Who you are.

Polishing Potential for Success in Leadership
Sergeant Neff
You'll speak only when spoken to. And you'll listen to every word I say. I intend to shine in my new job, and the only way I can do that is by making you shine. You're the little unit I have to polish until the glare of your achievements blinds everybody on this parade ground.

Criticism and Family Tensions During Weekend Visit
Damien Thorn
She's too much, that Aunt Marion.
Mark Thorn
Oh, she's just awful! Why did they ever let her come?
Damien Thorn
So she could wag her finger, criticize us, and generally ruin our weekend, that's why.
Mark Thorn
At least we didn't have to have dinner with her. God! And what's that smell?
Damien Thorn
Lavender, you fool! All old ladies douse themselves in it. I don't know why.
Murray
Now, boys, just because Aunt Marion's getting on-
Mark Thorn
On our nerves!
Damien Thorn
Now, come on. Murray's right. Let's hear it for Aunt Marion.
Damien & Mark
Hooray.
[Sarcastic]
Damien Thorn
Hey, Murray, give us a cigarette, will you?
Murray
Now, Damien, you know the answer to that one.
Damien Thorn
You don't ask, you never know.
[Shrugs]
Murray
Have you met your new platoon leader? Neff?
Damien Thorn
Neff for "neffer mind". Oh, come on. They're all the same. When you've met one platoon leader, you've met them all. Attention! Eyes front! Chest out! Stomach in!
Mark Thorn
You know something? You're crazy.
Damien Thorn
Yeah, cos I've practiced.
Mark Thorn
God.
[Laughs]

Father's Legacy and Boundaries in Conversation
Teddy
That's Damien's father in the back. My old man was on that team, too.
Teddy
That's him. He was on the line. But Robert Thorn was quarterback. Even back then he was calling the plays for everybody.
Mark Thorn
You're next, Damien.
[''Coming in from Neff's office'']
Damien Thorn
Teddy, don't ever talk about my father again. Do you understand?
Teddy
Can't you take a joke?
Damien Thorn
Yes.
[''Giving Teddy a long look'']
Mark Thorn
What was that all about?
Teddy
Your cousin really thinks he's somebody, doesn't he? My old man tells me the Thorns make their own hats because the stores don't sell them large enough for their big heads!

Revelation About Bugenhagen and the Daggers
Dr. Charles Warren
Did you know Bugenhagen gave your brother the daggers to kill Damien?
Richard Thorn
What the hell are you talking about?
Dr. Charles Warren
Years ago, Bugenhagen wrote you a letter-
Richard Thorn
I never got a letter.
Dr. Charles Warren
It was never sent. It was still in the box. Richard... you know that I'm a rational man, but what I have to say to you isn't rational. Bugenhagen claims that Damien is the devil's son: the beast foretold in the Book of Revelation. He isn't human. He was born of a jackal. I know it sounds incredible.
Richard Thorn
Why are you telling me this?
Dr. Charles Warren
Your brother was convinced. He went to Bugenhagen for help. Bugenhagen told him how to kill the boy.
Richard Thorn
My brother was mentally ill. His wife was...
Dr. Charles Warren
Was killed by Damien. Five deaths, Richard - five unexplained, horrible accidents. According to Bugenhagen...
Richard Thorn
Who was obviously insane. And you believe it!
Dr. Charles Warren
Read his letter yourself.
Richard Thorn
I won't read the ravings of a senile old man!
Dr. Charles Warren
I knew Bugenhagen. He wasn't senile. If what he says is true, we are all in great danger. You, Ann, Mark - all of us. Have you noticed anything suspicious?
Richard Thorn
No.
Dr. Charles Warren
Something he's said?
Richard Thorn
Nothing.
Dr. Charles Warren
There've been deaths among us. Joan, Bill, Pasarian...
Richard Thorn
Coincidental.
Dr. Charles Warren
What about Aunt Marion? There's proof.
Richard Thorn
What proof?
Dr. Charles Warren
Yigael's Wall. Bugenhagen saw it. It's the thing that convinced him.
Richard Thorn
That's enough, Charles! I don't wanna hear any more of your religious rants!
Dr. Charles Warren
The wall arrives in New York tomorrow-
Richard Thorn
THEN YOU GO AND LOOK AT IT!
Dr. Charles Warren
I will.

The Meaning of the Beast's Number
Damien Thorn
Here is wisdom. Let he who hath understanding count the number of the Beast. For it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.
