  • (Unnamed) "There's one thing you can say about nature: if you make one lousy rule to describe it, it will contradict you, even if it has to bust its ass to do so. And so what?

Because this is a world where no matter who you are, your happiness, your survival, is based on sacrifice. Sweet bleeding sacrifice."

The infant is whacked on the behind, thus initiating the end to its misery."
  • (Unnamed) "Augustine, you call yourself a fisherman?"
  • (Unnamed) "I call myself Gus."
