Joy: Jack don’t you sometimes just burst to share the joke?
Jack: What joke ?
Joy: Well here's your friends thinking we're unmarried and up to all sorts of wickedness, when all along we're married and up to nothing at all.
Jack: Which friends?
Joy: God, you can be so hard work sometimes. So what do you do here? Think great thoughts?
Jack: Teach mainly.
Joy: What do they do? Sit at your feet and gaze up at you in awe?
Jack: No, not at all.
Joy: I bet they do.
Joy: We have some fine old battles in here, I can tell you that.
Joy: Which you win. Must be quite a boost for you, being older and wiser than all of them. Not to mention your readers.
Jack: What?
Joy: Your readers and that gang of friends of yours. All very well trained not to play out of bounds.
Jack: What are you talking about?
Joy: Of course there’s Warnie. Not much competition there.
Jack: That’s nonsense. And what about Christopher Riley. He never let’s me get away with anything, you know that.
Joy: Except doubt and fear and pain and terror.
Jack: Where did all that come from?
Joy: I’ve only now just seen it how you’ve arranged a life for yourself where no one can touch you. Everyone that’s close to you is either younger than you, or weaker than you, or under your control.
Jack: Why…why are you getting at me? I thought..I thought we were friends?
Joy: I don’t know that we are friends not the way you have friends anyway. Sorry, Jack.
Jack: I don’t understand.
Joy: No, I think you do. You just don’t like it, nor do I.

Lionel Quaid: Prudence, our mission was not to intervene while the system functioned perfectly. A few years down the road, the President will ask for forgiveness and make the promise of "never again", but in terms of national interest we did everything right.
Prudence Bushnell: We were loyal to a policy that allowed hundreds of thousands of people to be killed! As far as moral imperative, we did not do the right thing.
Lionel Quaid: We're bureaucrats, not the political leadership.
Prudence Bushnell: Is it because they're African?
Lionel Quaid: Don't do that, Pru. It was Rwandans killing Rwandans.
