» “We still don’t know what Project Dawn is, do we?”

» “I thought you and Porter were mates?”

» “What the fuck? I said ‘not the nose’!”

» “Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t place you all under arrest…”

» “I’ll find you on Facebook, honey.”

» “Why don’t you just get on with it, you fucking pricks?”

» “We don’t exist.”

» “Life’s just one long pussy-prowl for you, isn’t it?”
