->'''Alistair:''' As far as being religious... I don't know. Not especially. What about you? Not in your line of work, I expect.\\
'''Zevran:''' Why do you say that? I happen to be quite devoted, in my way, as most Antivans are.\\
'''Alistair:''' Truly? But you kill people. For money.\\
'''Zevran:''' And I ask forgiveness for my sins from the Maker every chance I get. What manner of monster do you think I am?\\
'''Alistair:''' But... you ask forgiveness and then you go right on with your sinning.\\
'''Zevran:''' The Maker has never objected. Why should you?

'''Batman:''' So what's stopping you?\\
'''Tommy:''' I guess you just don't know me.
