Quotes 

• Natalie Hegalhuzen : You know that all my writings have called this occupation a violation of international law and its practitioners are criminals?

  Brand Hauser : Do you really believe all this stuff you write?

  Natalie Hegalhuzen : Anyone who can causes this much mayhem when they didn't have to? The amount of suffering that I've seen?

  Brand Hauser : I know.

  [helicoper flies overhead] 

  Brand Hauser : [speaking on the phone]  Ok. Hold on a sec.

  [speaking to Natalie again] 

  Brand Hauser : But the way I look at it is this: the day we can actually feel and hear all the suffering of mankind, that's the day when "The Christ" will come back! So we got that going for us.

  [speaking on the phone again] 

  Brand Hauser : I'll be out in a minute.

  [speaking to Natalie again] 

  Brand Hauser : Or 'The Buddha', or Allah, whoever floats your boat.

• Natalie Hegalhuzen : Nice office.

  Marsha Dillon : It's bullet-proof.

• Natalie Hegalhuzen : [upon hearing an explosion outside]  When did they start attacking inside the Emerald City?

  Brand Hauser : I wouldn't call that an attack.

  [explosion goes off right outside office] 

  Brand Hauser : Technically, that was a bombing. At least it sounded like it was. Not an attack, which would imply something else.

• Brand Hauser : Did you know that the word "person" comes from the Latin word "persona", which means mask? So maybe being human means we invite spectators to ponder what lies behind. Each of us will be composed of a variety of masks, and if we can see behind the mask, we would get a burst of clarity. And if that flame was bright enough, that's when we fall in love. What's your opinion on these divine matters?

  Natalie Hegalhuzen : I'm not going to fuck you. You know that, right?

• Choreographer : Each girl is a transfemoral amputee that lost her leg during the liberation.

  Marsha Dillon : And thanks to Tamerlane's cutting edge prosthetic devices, we can literally have you up and dancing before you know it.

  Brand Hauser : just another breathtaking example of how American know-how alleviates the suffering it creates.

  Marsha Dillon : ...And Coniel Bislan, an M72 rocket-propelled grenade that mistakenly hit her high school.

  Brand Hauser : And Tamerlane used the exact same RPG firing pin rod assembly technology that it uses in the prosthetic knees of its dancing legs.

  Natalie Hegalhuzen : Talk about vertical integration!

• Natalie Hegalhuzen : Tell me about yourself?

  Brand Hauser : I'm just doing this gig, trying to make the best of a bad situation, looking for redemption in all the wrong places. Stop me now if I'm rambling.

  Natalie Hegalhuzen : Okay, stop.

• Natalie Hegalhuzen : So you want to seduce the journalist whose politics you despise?

  Brand Hauser : How dare you. I have no politics.

• Natalie Hegalhuzen : Don't look at me!

  Brand Hauser : I like looking at you.
