Mr. Rate: Would've been a bad job to take, though.
Nick Memphis: How come?
Mr. Rate: Whoever took that shot's probably dead now. That's how conspiracy works. Them boys on the grassy knoll, they were dead within three hours. Buried in the damn desert. Unmarked graves out past Terlingua.

Erroll Babbage: People like Paul and Viola Gerard don't just tell lies, they are lies. In public they're decent, socially-responsible folk who look you in the eye, but never long enough to make you uncomfortable. They shake your hand, pat you on the back, but never overdo it. They're Christian if you are, they swear if you do, and they do this because people like you wrongly believe that public presentation tell us all about private lives.

Margaret: Everything is what it is. You're not who you think you are.
