I have discovered the Holy Grail of science, Mr. Laurent. I give life. The Agnates... they're simply tools, instruments. They have no souls. The possibilities are endless here. In two years' time, I will be able to cure children's leukemia. How many people on Earth can say that, Mr. Laurent?
I guess just you and God. That's the answer you're looking for, isn't it?
When my father was killed, my brothers and I were branded, so everyone would know we were less than human. I've said and done things I'm not proud of, but sooner or later you realise, killing's a business. So... when did killing become a business for you?
Dr. Merrick
Oh, no. It's so much more than that. I have discovered the Holy Grail of science. In two years, I can cure children's leukemia. How many people on Earth can say that?
I guess just you and God. But that's the answer you want, isn't it?
Dr. Merrick
What's troubling, you, Lincoln?

It - it's just... all right, Tuesday night is tofu night, and I'm asking myself "Who here decided that everyone likes tofu in the first place, and what is tofu anyway?" And why can't I have bacon? I line up every morning, and I'm not allowed any bacon for my breakfast. And - and tell me - let's talk about all the white. Why is everyone wearing white all the time? It's impossible to keep clean, I'm walking around, I get - I always get the gray stripe, I never get any color, and I hand it in to be cleaned, and - and someone cleans it and fold it neatly back in my drawer, but who? Who is that person? I don't know. I just - I wanna know answers and I - and I wish that there was more.
Dr. Merrick
More?
Lincoln Six-Echo
Yeah, more than just waiting to go to The Island!
