- Dolan: [after listening to Roman's quotes from Darwin] Ladies and Gentlemen, Charles fucking Darwin.
- Robinson: The view from hell is clear and bright. The sun is black, the night is radiant. Good is evil, evil is good. Sweet insanity understood.
- Robinson: He looks like anybody you see on the street. But when he grins, birds fall off telephone lines. When he looks at you a certain way, your prostate goes bad, and your urine burns. The grass yellows up and dies where he spits. He's always outside. He came out of time. He has the name of a thousand demons. He can call the wolves and live in with the crows. He's the king of nowhere. I waited and watched. I watched and I waited. For years I saw him come and I saw him go. Dolan.
- Dolan: In his experimental law of impacts, Sir Isaac Newton describes something called the arc of descent. It's all about kinetics, mass, velocity, the inertia of falling persons and things. Once a descending object acquires a certain momentum, it continues on a downward parabolic curve to eventually impact with an immovable object at the nadir, the bottom, thereby consummating the arc of descent.
- Chief: It's a brave new world with naught but ruthless creatures in it. There's no glory in fearing the unknown and you didn't get to be where you are by being risk-adverse, Mr Dolan. Evolve or perish, kill or be killed, it's the morality of kings and Gods. It's the survival of the fittest.
- Dolan: Charles-Fucking-Darwin.
- Dolan: They say the day you die is just like any other day, only shorter. The meaning of life is that it stops. That's what makes it so precious right? So if I kill you in a weird way, I'm giving you that gift.
- Robinson: Do you ever have one of those moments where everything... I mean, everything in the universe makes perfect sense? Everything just falls into place?
