- The Machine: I have stood knee deep in mud and bone, and filled my lungs with mustard gas. I have seen two brothers fall. I have lain with holy wars and copulated with the autumnal fallout. I have dug trenches for the refugees; I have murdered dissidents where the ground never thaws, and starved the masses into faith. A child's shadow burnt into the brickwork. A house of skulls in the jungle. The innocent, the innocent, Mandus, trod and bled and gassed and starved and beaten and murdered and enslaved. This is your coming century! They will eat them Mandus, they will make pigs of you all and they will bury their snouts into your ribs and they will eat your hearts!
- Oswald Mandus: I lay there, and watched the god I had created die. At the end when we were cold as the stone we had hewn his body from. When the lights were nearly all extinguished, we heard in the silent distance, the Manpigs singing to one another. Then, as the last lights were gone, and we lay together in the deep, they drifted away, and all was silent. Such a silence, I have never known. And as the dust settled on my open eyes and we lay together embraced forever, I heard miles above us, the sounds of the city turning over in its sleep. A church bell ringing out. And in that moment, the new century was born.
- Dr. Samuel L Johnson: [Opening credit] "He who makes a beast of himself removes himself from the pain of being human."
- Unspecified voice: Daddy. Daddy. Please don't kill me.

- Oswald Mandus: And the good, the worthy, how will we save them?
- The Machine: Show me these worthy Mandus, show me these good. I do not see them.
- Oswald Mandus: But why did you take my children?
- The Machine: I, Mandus? Of all the blood we have spilled together, the first drops fell from your hands alone.
- Oswald Mandus: Then I am damned for a filicide, and everything is lost.
- The Machine: I live, I breathe again! I rise, I will rise to bleach the sky and still the water! I will spin the world wheel, and set free the future upon the path to redemption
- Oswald Mandus: Where are my children? You promised me my children!
- The Machine: My time is come! More pig! More pig!
- Oswald Mandus: Where are they? Where are my children?
- The Machine: Why do you ask Mandus? You know the answer well enough.
- The Machine: What are you doing little piggy? Do you think I will allow you to sabotage me again?
- Oswald Mandus: I want my children you unholy bastard!
