-->'''Exec''': [[PleaOfPersonalNecessity No! No! Look, you're going to need me!]]
-->'''Goren''': And what can you offer to make up for the misery you prepared to wreak on thousands of people who trusted you? What fanatics do to us with guns and bombs, you tried to do with an accounting trick! Don't you think for a ''minute'' that you deserve anything better than they do.
