"Oh yeah, i think, maybe ju-just a little." "Angry enough to string you up, cut your heart out" "And show it to you while it's still beating?" "Because that's what i'm gonna do." "Well" "Okay, that's a whole lot of hostility coming out of nowhere." "Given, you know, that i'm the aggrieved party here." "You lied to us." "No, i never lied."

"Well, technically this is none of my business," "Although we are a small group of people forced to live" "In close quarters, so really it's everyone's business, but" "What are you talking about?"

"You need to learn to observe without emotion." "That's not so easy." "Some of the memories they're pretty..." "Intense." "Yeah, but they're nothing but recordings of past events."
