I've walked in vaults that have been sealed longer than there's been a human race, breathing air that's five million years old. You call that a shortcut, if you will, but I've lived. By God, Stephen, I have lived."

"Well, actually it's more a question of what I can do for you, really, and what we can together do for Earth. I'm regional director of the newly-formed Ministry of Peace, or Minipax, as we like to call it around the office. We're trying to round up support for a series of new programs we're launching."

"Humanity is my business. Marley to Scrooge. Dickens. A Christmas Carol. Well I say they've continued the fine tradition of recruiting from the shallow end of the gene pool."
(You'll get the connection if you know A Christmas Carol. Scrooge shares Mollari's Neo-Malthusian sentiments).
