[first lines]
Augustus Hill : In the beginning, God was nothingness. So he started making stuff. He made the dirt, he made the sky, he made the water, he made things that swim, things that slither, things with legs. I mean, God turned himself into a big shot. Then, in a couple of days, or a couple of million years, he breathed life into man. And he's been sucking the life out of us ever since.

So you do some deed and you want to clear your conscience and still get away with it, well, tell your mama or tell a priest.

The supremo boss, you know what I mean? Forgiveness, live by his code. Deadness, if we don't. Yo, he never has to talk to us face to face and he never has to explain exactly why he does what he does. Know what I'm saying? Nigger sits up there in Heaven somewhere, drinking a cappuccino, chilling...

Augustus Hill : "Got the whole world in his hands." He got the whole world by the balls. In excelsius deo and all that shit.

Augustus Hill : [Hill is spinning around with an absent-minded Alvarez, talking to the audience] Here's a pop quiz! Name the seven deadly sins. C'mon. You saw that Brad Pitt movie. Lust, yeah, well, everybody gets that one. Huh, Gluttony? Sure. Greed, yeah. Envy, Sloth, Anger, or to be a little more technical, Wrath. What else? WHAT ELSE? Let me put it this way, if you think you knew the answer and because of that, you think you're better than everybody else, THEN YOUR GUILTY OF IT! Ha ha!
