Dr. Ellie Staple: Elijah, what have you done?
Dr. Ellie Staple: [to her three patients] I understand that the three of you think you are superhuman. That you don't think you are normal. You've convinced yourselves you have extraordinary gifts, like something out of a comic book. I am here to discuss the possibility that you are mistaken.
Comic Book Geek: [enthused] He's too smart. That's why he's the mastermind. He'll never tell you his real plan. He sets everybody up. Gets them looking in one direction.
[first lines]
Dennis: [deep sigh] We keep bringing him sacred food, and nothing's happening. I... The Beast, he showed himself twice to the masses of the broken and-and they're not believing. There's no revolution. I...
Patricia: ["interrupting" him] Dennis, do not be scared. You have to trust me, as you always have.
Elijah Price: They've been lying to us all.
The Beast: You believe?
Elijah Price: Yes, I do. It's what I've believed my whole life.
The Beast: They are losing faith. My Horde is losing faith!
Elijah Price: In comics... you would go to a public place where all could see you. A place
celebrating man's pedestrian achievements. But you need David to convince them. You should fight him in front of the world. The tallest building in this city is opening today. All the cameras in the world will record you. You can convince the Horde and the world at the same time. We exist.
The Beast: Why are you in this chair, child?
Elijah Price: My
bones break easily. I was born this way. I've had 94 breaks in my life. I've known only pain.
The Beast: Rejoice. You have suffered and are now pure.
Elijah Price: I assume you were sent here to be an avenging angel. How much do you want to avenge us?
[the Beast yells wildly]
Elijah Price: Well, that sounds like the bad
guys teaming up.
