*"The truth is, I'm very lonely. I could walk forever, just talking to you."* * *"Daniel struggles with a feeling of sin, which, caused by his strict upbringing, lies heavily upon him. He won't dare look at Clemens... because he likes him a lot... which confuses him... and he doesn't even know why."* * *"He knew his effect on others, and he was partly to blame for it.

A self and a non-self. Only by being non-selves can we now survive in our mortal shrouds we weave around us. And what shall this survival profit us in this day of the mask, this day of corporation man? What shall the self do then, poor thing, but curl away in from the poisoning wind and dream? Dream of some second coming man himself must bring about through some last disobedience and new resurrection. *

***Archer: **... They're not having me, Mr Duke. I've got to save myself, despite whatever methods you bastards devise to destroy me. I'll get through it. Or I... or I won't. But it's my way. *

Easy to forget, but Tim Roth is a generational talent. Hmmm.... To throw a life away before it's even begun. Is that the easier option?
