- NoFace: There was one who tormented us. Humiliated us. The grower of machines.
- Van Kleiss: Ah Rex. Another thorn we share. My proposal is simple: you control a formidable legion. I, in turn, can provide escape and the vengenance you seek. I can be you liberator. You can be my General. Together we will *crush* our enemies. Starting with the one you hate most. Now, then are we...
- Biowulf: [Entering] Master, I have report.
- Van Kleiss: This is a private conversation. Can't you handle the slightest detail without bothering me?
- Biowulf: ...Of course, Master. It was nothing.
- Rex: Did you ever wonder why he's so interested in you?
- Rex: Oh, I don't know... maybe he wants me dead.
- Circe: Not anymore. Something has changed, Rex. Ever since you got your powers back, I hear him talking, says you have something that's the key to everyting for whatever reason, he needs you alive. I know it, Rex! He'd *never* let you be killed.
- Rex: Never, huh?
- Bobo Haha: Great. 'Cause this situation's not random enough already. Let's throw some raging teen hormones into the mix.
- Dr. Holiday: Rex, why aren't you fixing that shield regulator?
- Rex: Hint. You may remember him from such schemes as: destroying Providence Headquarters, and trying to take over the entire Earth.
- Dr. Holiday: Van Kleiss in there? You're right you should investigate, *after* you fix the shield.
- Rex: Then it might be too late.
- Dr. Holiday: She's there, isn't she?
- Rex: Who? Breach? Yeah - but...
- Dr. Holiday: [Holiday sighs] A quick recon and that's it. I'll try to buy some time at this end, and I want regular check ups.
- Circe: You're right you know. We should be down there with him. What is he up to anyway?
- Biowulf: I... do not know.
- Circe: You don't know? I thought he trusted you with everything.
- Biowulf: Of course he does! He just
- [Biowulf reaches into the bushes and grabs Rex. Rex screams]
- Rex: Hey! Easy on the stealth suit. Which apparently isn't so stealthy.
- Rex: You've seen the things that live here. Whatever deal you think Van Kleiss is making, it's going to turn out bad for everyone.
- Circe: 30 seconds.
- Rex: I do know who you are, Circe. Just once think for yourself. Maybe your perfect leader could actually be wrong, may be even crazy, nuts, certifiably insane!
- Circe: SHUT UP!
- NoFace: [as Rex is being dragged in] Defiler! Give it to us.
- Van Kleiss: Now do you believe I can deliver what I say? Will you agree to my leadership?
- NoFace: We agree to it. Give it to us! Now. Now! NOW!
- Circe: Van Kleiss, I didn't bring Rex here so you could - he'll kill him.
- Van Kleiss: Never forget how I found you, Circe. What you were before. He's yours.
- Circe: [as NoFace is attacking Rex] Stop this, Please. You need him *alive*!
- Van Kleiss: Alive, yes. Heart pumping. Lungs breathing, but his mind - less that's left of that, the better. Circe I warn you, Lift so much as a finger to help him, and you're finished.
- Rex: [after Van Kleiss protects Rex from NoFace's attack] I'm not driving a wedge between you, am I?
- Van Kleiss: Well played.
- Rex: Good news for me. For you - not so much.
- Bobo Haha: What is it about stealing from our own people that's so damn satisfying.
- Circe: You forgot to remove the tracker.
- Bobo Haha: Uh, funny that.
- Circe: I'm not going to Providence.
- Rex: Doesn't matter where you go. All that matters is that *you* want to go there. That said - I hear Hong Kong's nice this time of year.
