• Mary : Let me ask you something.

  [Grabs his hand] 

  Mary : Why are you alive?

  John Preston : [Breaks free]  I'm alive... I live... to safeguard the continuity of this great society. To serve Libria.

  Mary : It's circular. You exist to continue your existence. What's the point?

  John Preston : What's the point of your existence?

  Mary : To feel. 'Cause you've never done it, you can never know it. But it's as vital as breath. And without it, without love, without anger, without sorrow, breath is just a clock... ticking.

• John Preston : Then I have no choice but to remand you to the Palace of Justice for processing.

  Mary : Processing. You mean execution, don't you?

  John Preston : Processing.

• Mary : You can't do this! You cannot do this!

  John Preston : Tetragrammaton. There's nothing we can't do.

• Mary : What... what'll you do?

  John Preston : ...I don't know.
