Quotes 

• Thomas Eichorst : [holding Setrakian aloft]  Admit it, A230385: you've always been curious about what's on the other side.

  Abraham Setrakian : Are you going to stand there flapping your lips all day, or finish this?

  [Eichhorst extends his stinger and "bites" Setrakian's neck] 

  Augustin 'Gus' Elizalde : No! No!

  [Setrakian drops an empty pill bottle - blood thinners. Sensing something wrong, Eichhorst withdraws his stinger and drops Setrakian, then falls to his knees, dry-heaving. Taking advantage of his captor's distraction, Gus breaks free and stabs him to death. Setrakian slowly picks up his sword and faces the convulsing Eichhorst] 

  Abraham Setrakian : Like rats, you cannot vomit the blood thinner. An anatomical curiosity, but very significant too, don't you think? You *are* vermin. Look at me. I want your Master to see this. Can you hear me? I have something to say to you. You are the hunger, the strain that feeds on us since time immemorial. But make no mistake, you're still a parasite, and we will flush you out and burn you. It will not be me, it will not be now, but it will happen, no matter how long it takes. In another face, another eyes, you will see me as you die. And as for you, Herr Eichhorst, my name is Abraham Setrakian. And you should know, I'm not a number anymore.

  [He raises his sword...] 

  Abraham Setrakian : [in ancient language]  My sword sings of silver!

  [... and decapitates Eichhorst] 

• Thomas Eichorst : You have lost faith in me... Master. I do not deserve your mercy, nor will I ask for it. I only ask that you take my life.

  The Master : Is that your desire, Thomas?

  Thomas Eichorst : Yes, my Lord.

  The Master : Well, then. This is a proud day... for Abraham Setrakian. This is Standartenführer Thomas Eichhorst, defeated by a Jew. My most trusted acolyte, an officer of the Reich, bested by a pawnbroker. You will go down in the history of our species as an abject defeatist who lost his stomach for the fight! Is that what you really desire, Thomas? To hand victory to Setrakian?

  Thomas Eichorst : No!

  The Master : Then find him! Find the Born and the others. Above all, do not let that warhead cross the river!

  Thomas Eichorst : You have my word.
