• Anthony : Control, it's all about control. Every dictatorship has one obsession and that's it. In ancient Rome they gave the people bread and circuses. They kept population busy with entertainment but other dictatorships used other strategies to control ideas, the knowledge... how do they do that? Lower education, they limit culture, censor information, they censor any means of individual expression and is important to remember this, that this is a pattern, that repeats itself through out history.

• Adam + Anthony : [Anthony loses his temper after Adam denies his accusation about sleeping with his wife and corners Adam]  You brought my wife into this, man! So I'm gonna bring your girlfriend into the picture as well. You want me out of your life? This is what's gonna happen first. You're gonna give me your clothes and your car, I'm gonna take your girlfriend on a little romantic getaway. I'm gonna bring her back home tomorrow, and then I'm gonna come back here, and I'm gonna bring back all your stuff, and I'm going to disappear from your life forever. Then we will be even.
