  Paul Ballard : Let's go.

  Stephen Kepler : No! No way! You'd go down there?

  Paul Ballard : You showed me this thinking I'd give up?

  Stephen Kepler : I was nurturing a tender, throbbing hope that you'd give up, yes!

  Paul Ballard : Well, I'm not! Show me the real way in!

  Stephen Kepler : No, that is the real way in. I just thought that you'd give up!

• Paul Ballard : You really justify this? What you do to these people... you can live with this?

  Boyd Langton : You're the one who came in here and assaulted one of our residents.

  Adelle DeWitt : Yes, there's indignation enough for everyone to have seconds.
