Dirty Business/Quotes

"The Operative: I believe in something greater than myself. A better world. A world without sin. Mal: So me and mine gotta lay down and die... so you can live in your better world? The Operative: I'm not going to live there. There's no place for me there... any more than there is for you. Malcolm... I'm a monster. What I do is evil. I have no illusions about it, but it must be done."

"I want to warn her that a killer is stalking her, but... ...I can't repeat the mistakes of the past. In order to convict this monster and send her to prison, I need firm evidence that she's a murderer. If I save this young woman's life, I won't have any evidence. I have to let her die. And I have to be there when it happens, filming her murder. It's the only way to get the evidence I need. The only way to make sure that justice is served. But...is this really justice? Letting a woman die? If I don't get this monster arrested, then there will only be more victims in the future. So, letting her commit murder one last time is...the right thing to do... ...isn't it?"
