- Robert Albert Hobbes: [after the Keeper shoots him with a tranquilizer dart] All you had to do is ask.
- Darien Fawkes: [pulling out a syringe with the retrovirus] You ready to die again?
- [removes his Jacket and puts the needle in his mouth]
- 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.
- Darien Fawkes: You ever hear the term "honor amongst thieves." That's a myth. Fear amongst thieves, maybe. Basic relationship is, "You stab my back, I'll stab yours." Now if you look at it that way, Manny Merrick is a very honorable guy.
- 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.
