Because i took an oath to help people. to protect them from the league and any corrupt government. (devyn) yeah, and i know people better than to believe that for even an instant. altruism is dead. people use and they take until you’re nothing but a bleeding corpse on the ground at their feet.

You are also asked to take an oath, and that's the oath of service. the oath of service is not to secrecy, but to the constitution - to protect it against all enemies, foreign and domestic. that's the oath that i kept, that james clapper and former nsa director keith alexander did not. you raise your hand and you take the oath in your class when you are on board. all government officials are made to do it who work for the intelligence agencies - at least, that's where i took the oath.

I love you, devyn wade kell, with everything inside me. but it’s okay if you don’t feel the same. i know i’m just a piece of trash in your world, and i don’t expect you to share my feelings. (alix) don’t you ever say that to me again. trash is something people throw away, alix. i intend to keep you for the rest of my life. (devyn)

The only person on this ship who gets paid for what they do is you, alix. the rest of us live off our trust funds and we use those funds for our humanitarian missions. i do what i do because i can’t stand to see innocent people bullied by a corrupt government. i don’t want to see a baby starve and die because some fat politician wants to work its parents into the ground for a mineral most of them can’t even pronounce. (devyn)

What is an "instant" death anyway? how long is an instant? is it one second? ten? the pain of those seconds must have been awful as her heart burst and her lungs collapsed and there was no air and no blood to her brain and only raw panic. what the hell is instant? nothing is instant. instant rice takes five minutes, instant pudding an hour. i doubt that an instant of blinding pain feels particularly instantaneous.

I love you, baby. and i want you to stay with me. always. (devyn) believe me, there’s no place else i’d rather be. (alix) me, either, but i would rather we be naked. (devyn)

There sure are a lot of these 'instant' products on the market. instant coffee, instant tea, instant pudding, instant cereal... instant dislike.

Stop trying to find something in food that will make you feel better. i used to have eating disorders; i'd binge and purge all the time: fried oysters, po' boys, muffulettas, beignets, coffee and doughnuts. i tried to medicate myself with food when people made fun of me or hit me with a bat in school. i'd always turn to food.

Our job is to represent the truth of human nature, whether you're playing a tender love story that's set in a coffee shop or whether you're in 'the avengers,' which is set in a manhattan which is exploding.

Our age is very cheap and intelligible. unroof any house, and you shall find it. the well-being consists in having a sufficiency of coffee and toast, with a daily newspaper; a well glazed parlor, with marbles, mirrors and centre-table; and the excitement of a few parties and a few rides in a year.

Black as night, sweet as sin.
