Qohen Leth: Nothing adds up.

Qohen Leth: Are you real, or just in my mind?
Management: Doesn't matter at all. You're part of the neural web now.
Qohen Leth: [extended silence] ... so there is no answer?
Management: That depends on the question.
Qohen Leth: *What I'm living for?*
Management: That's a good question Mr Leth, posed entirely to the wrong person. You see, it seems you've mistaken me for a considerably higher power. I'm not the source of your call. I'm not God or the Devil, I'm just a man... seeking the truth.

-
Qohen Leth: Why would you want to prove that all is for nothing?
Management: I never said all is for nothing. I'm a businessman, Mr. Leth, nothing is for nothing. Ex inordinateo veni pecunia.
Qohen Leth: What?
Management: There's money in ordering disorder. Chaos pays, Mr. Leth.

Joby: Phone trouble, was it? Tried to fix it yourself, did ya?
[finds hammer]

Doctor: You're not dying. Although, in a way, from the moment of birth, we all begin to die. Call it divinely planned obsolence. Soon or late, beggar or king, death is the end of all things. While life might be seen as a virus infecting the perfect organism of death.

Qohen Leth: Dysintery.
