  David : He was human. Entirely unworthy of his creation.

• David : I loved her, of course. Much as you love Daniels.

All utterly meaningless in the face of the only question that matters. Where do we come from? I refuse to believe that mankind... is a random by-product of molecular circumstance. No more than the result of... Mere biological chance. No. There must be more. And you and I, son, we will find it.

  Walter : You know I can't let you leave this place.

  David : No one will ever love you like I do.

  [kisses him, then suddenly strikes him fatally] 

  David : You're such a disappointment to me.

• David : Please do make yourself at home... as much as you are able in this dire necropolis.

• Daniels : Thank you for saving my life. Again.
