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 would 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 is your opinion on these divine matters?

Look, we've already kicked the shit out of this place. What are we supposed to do, turn our backs on all the entrepreneurial possibilities?

Let's cut the shit, Walken. I like killing people as much as the next guy. But I signed up to kill the bad ones. Health clinics, trade unionists, journalists, agricultural co-ops, Catholic liberation theologians, impoverished Colombian coffee farmers - these are the barbarians, the depraved opponents of civilization? We turned Central America into a **** graveyard. Whoever momentarily interrupts the accumulation of our wealth, we pulverize. I'm just not feeling good about that anymore, sir.

Marsha, get me Katie Couric, Al Jezeera and 100 gallons of sheep shit.

It's going to be hard to torture someone who's mostly dead... but I'm gonna try to enjoy it.
What if we publicly remove one of his testicles?
Dad, please!
Shut up.

That's not an entirely unappealing suggestion, but I'm not sure if that really gets us where we want to go.
