  Robert Albert Hobbes : We both know that can't harm me now, Fawkes.

  Darien Fawkes : Yeah. We both

  [removes the needle from his mouth] 

  Darien Fawkes : We both know it'll kill me, right? So it's pretty simple here to save me, you're gonna have to tell me how to stop it.

  [puts the needle in his own leg] 

• Robert Albert Hobbes : I will not do that.

  Darien Fawkes : Yeah, you will. Yes, you will. You would die for me, Bobby. ... See that's what I know, it's not cause it's your job or your code. It's cause I'm your friend. And if you think that's an illusion, then you're just plain ignorant.

• Robert Albert Hobbes : You have no real power.

  The Official : What?

  Robert Albert Hobbes : You're a bureaucrat. Your power trickles down through the system. You're a paper pusher, a desk jockey, a toothless tiger.

  The Official : Hobbes, one more word out of you and you're out of this Organization.

  Robert Albert Hobbes : Here's two: I quit.

  [Hobbes hands his badge to the Official] 

• Darien Fawkes : Yeah, well, Hobbes the thing you're forgetting here is, they're not your abilities.

  Robert Albert Hobbes : Were you born with the quicksilver gland? It's a gift, Fawkes. It's a beautiful gift. And I have this gift now.

  Darien Fawkes : Yeah, yeah. Well I'd like to be free of my gift, friend, okay?

• Darien Fawkes : The keeper is working on a way to reverse this thing.

  Robert Albert Hobbes : I know how to reverse it, Fawkes. I don't *want* to reverse it. I understand things now. Things that you'll never, ever, ever, understand.
