• Management : [talking to Qohen Leth]  The saddest aspect of mankind's need to believe in a God, or to put it another way, a purpose greater than this life, is that it makes this life meaningless. You see, this is all just a way station on the road to promised eternity.

• Qohen Leth : Why would you want to prove that all is for nothing?

  Management : I never said all is for nothing. I'm a businessman, Mr. Leth, nothing is for nothing. Ex inordinateo veni pecunia.

  Qohen Leth : What?

  Management : There's money in ordering disorder. Chaos pays, Mr. Leth.

• Qohen Leth : Are you real, or just in my mind?

  Management : Doesn't matter at all. You're part of the neural web now.

  Qohen Leth : [extended silence]  ... so there is no answer?

  Management : That depends on the question.

  Qohen Leth : *What I'm living for?*

  Management : That's a good question Mr Leth, posed entirely to the wrong person. You see, it seems you've mistaken me for a considerably higher power. I'm not the source of your call. I'm not God or the Devil, I'm just a man... seeking the truth.

  Qohen Leth : *What Truth? If... *

  Management : Turn around and look

  [points toward black hole imagery] 

  Management : ... That's it. Chaos encapsulated. That's all there is at the end. Just as it was at the beginning.

  Qohen Leth : Well, there it is then. You've proved the zero theorem.

  Management : Not quite. Mancom is, as you say, still crunching the data.

• Management : What is the meaning of life, Mr. Leth? So close to its end and still no answers.
