• Reiner : Are you really that cold?

  Malkina : The truth has no temperature.

• Malkina : Greed really takes you to the edge, doesn't it?

  Reiner : That's not what greed does. That's what greed is.

  Malkina : To see quarry, killed with elegance, it's just moving to me.

  Banker : Is it sexual?

  Malkina : Yes, of course. A thing like that is always sexual. The hunter has grace, beauty, and purity of heart to be found nowhere else. You can make no distinction between what they are and what they do. And what they do is kill. We, of course, are another matter. It is our faintness of heart that has driven us to the edge of ruin. Perhaps you won't agree, but nothing is crueler than a coward. And the slaughter to come is probably beyond our imagining.

  Banker : I think you've told me more than I wish to know.

  Malkina : Then I'll say no more. Shall we think about ordering? I'm famished.

• Malkina : I can see you're blushing. OK, we'll change the subject.

  Laura : Good.

  Malkina : We'll talk about MY sex life.

  Laura : You're teasing.

  Malkina : Just rattling your cage. What a world.

  Laura : You think the world is strange?

  Malkina : [expression becomes disdainful]  I meant yours.

• Malkina : I'm famished.

• Malkina : I suspect that we are ill-formed for the path we have chosen. Ill-formed and ill-prepared. We would like to draw a veil over all the blood and terror that have brought us to this place. It is our faintness of heart that would close our eyes to all of that, but in so doing it makes of it our destiny... But nothing is crueler than a coward, and the slaughter to come is probably beyond our imagining.
