- Snow: Cold night.
- Gabriel: Yes. Winter's coming. How long have you been here?
- Snow: Just long enough to make sure you came alone.
- Gabriel: I've outgrown those games. I have a job for you.
- Snow: I'm retired.
- Gabriel: Un-retire.
- Snow: Why should I?
- Gabriel: There's money it in.
- Snow: You're boring me.
- Gabriel: For old time's sake.
- Snow: For old time's sake, I could kill you quick.
- Gabriel: You could try. But then there'd be no one left to blame. You'd be all alone.
- Pascal: "Great Expectations". Do you remember the first time we read this book? We all took turns. Winslow, Devin, Molly.
- Vincent: It was... the book I read to Catherine when I...
- Pascal: I didn't mean to awaken painful memories.
- Vincent: Some memories never sleep. Bitter and sweet, dark and bright, they stay with us. When I read the books I shared with Catherine, I can feel her presence in the room with me. Beyond the light of the candle, listening, smiling. But afterwards, when the... story ends and I put the book down to look for her... all stories end, Pascal.
- Pascal: Yes. But we can always read them again.
- Diana Bennett: Excuse me. My name is Dianna Bennett. I'm looking for the new acting district att...
- [the chair turns around, revealing Joe]
- Diana Bennett: Joe.
- Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell: Hi.
- Diana Bennett: You?
- Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell: Well, 'till the next election, anyway. Weird thing is, the suspension worked out in my favor. All the dirt turning up on Moreno, was as good as a commendation.
- Diana Bennett: You don't look too happy about this promotion.
- Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell: I used to dream that someday I'd sit behind this desk. Only I didn't want it to happen this way.
- Snow: I heard about your little war. It's no challenge for me to kill a guy like Elliot Burch.
- Gabriel: Well, Burch is an inconvience. I... wouldn't dream of wasting a man of your talents on him. There are other ways to solve that problem. You've heard about our little merry-go-round murders?
- Snow: Friends of yours?
- Gabriel: I had years invested in Moreno.
- Snow: That's too bad. Politicians don't come with a warranty.
- Gabriel: Do you? Moreno and Gates were ripped apart. Eviscerated by something with inhuman strength and speed. The police are keeping a lid on it. They seem to think the particulars might be too ugly for, uh... public consumption.
- [he offers Snow a VHS tape, who moves to take it, then stops]
- Gabriel: You might be interested in this. The night this tape was made, eight armed men were ripped apart, like Moreno.
- Snow: [taking the tape] Creature features. Maybe I should make popcorn.
- Snow: Where are you?
- Vincent: [out of sight] Here.
- Snow: I can't see you.
- Vincent: I know.
- Snow: Do you have a name?
- Vincent: Yes.
- Snow: I always learn the names. All the names. Do you?
- Vincent: I know their faces.
- Snow: I don't suppose you want to call this a draw?
- [low growling]
- Snow: I guess that's a no.
- Vincent: He sent you.
- Snow: Who? Gabriel?
- Vincent: Is that his name?
- Snow: One of them. It's your child, isn't it? That's why he wants it.
- [taking his ring off and setting it on a stalagmite]
- Snow: Here. A peace offering. You still there? I'm tired of playing ring around the rosy. That game ends how? All fall down.
- Snow: He's beautiful.
- Gabriel: Yes. Qin Dynasty grave figure. 2,000 years old.
- Snow: I'm not talking about the stupid statue. He's not human.
- Gabriel: So few of us are these days.
- Snow: What do you think he is?
- Gabriel: My enemy.
- Snow: You're frightened, Gabe. You're not sleeping nights, knowing that he's out there somewhere. But I'm gonna fix it for you. So you can sleep like a babe.
