“What are we but primates, gifted with the ability to fill ourselves full with delusions of foolery that we are somehow… above our primal instincts. It is nothing more than a… Magic trick - One that we have inherited through the society that we so strongly seek to recreate. I have come to realize that doing so would be nothing short of a… Catastrophe. We have simply encountered far too much, but that - That is for another time, perhaps. It is currently outside of my mission - My expertise, my… strife. My woes have gone unquestioned for an… Indiscriminate amount of time? No… it actually appears quite discriminatory. Hmm… I do not know who will end up hearing these words other than me, but I am inclined to believe it will end up being someone remarkably similar to myself. If that is the case, then I advise you listen - And listen very closely. I was a… Rebel, just like you... They will betray you. And they will do it regardless of the guilt that they may feel. It is not their fault, it is simply our instinct. If thirty pieces of silver is what they need to survive, then they will do it, yet unlike Judas they will not have the decency to hang themselves afterwards. They will move on after unzipping their sheepskins, their sharp fangs glistening in the moonlight. I would have given you… Anything, Marlene. You told me you loved me, that you would never leave my side… I… (Desk Slam) Was ignorant. I forgive you, Marlene… Perhaps I would have done the same. But now I will make sure my needs are met. I no longer ask for sympathy - I demand it.”
