- Brian Roedecker: This is how it works. When a file is designated compartmentalized, double-click this icon, speak clearly into the microphone and say, "Soylent Green is people."
- Peter Watts: Couldn't he just say his name?
- Brian Roedecker: He could. But I was under the impression that security was the priority. "Soylent Green is people" is not only an obscure reference to the last great American film, and therefore unlikely to be cracked by a hacker attempting random code phrases, but the six syllable pattern encompasses each frequency and vocal intonation unique to Mr. Black, therefore rendering replication nearly impossible and thus security foolproof.
- Catherine's Rapist: Would you, could you, die for God?
- Frank Black: A number. There is one for every life which ever was or ever will be. And like most lives, they wait for a moment, the moment... When we'll be sent on its journey back toward the yellow sun. Approaching the sun brings definitive change. It will never again be the same. Appearing in our skies, it is believed to be the prophecy of extraordinary events. The Birth of Kings. The Death Of Empires. After Centuries, or Millennia, the journey must end. Perhaps smothered by its own dust, the dark, soulless body continues eternally through space and time. It may disintegrate and crumble into inconsequential rubble. Or it may be lost forever, crashing, burning into the yellow sun. And tonight as I look into the sky and it looks back on me, I wanna know which am I. I need to know. Is this the beginning of the journey... Or the end?
