“I checked out Johnny’s little society girlfriend… Margaret Krusemark. Do you know her?”
“Vaguely.”
“Vaguely? Let me tell you, I’m a little fed up with fuckin’ ‘vaguely.’ ‘Vaguely’ is puttin’ a noose around my neck and I’m startin’ to choke. So Mr. Cyphre, did you know her or not?”
…

“Well I tell you something. I know it’s a church… but there’s a lot of religion going around with this thing. It’s very weird, and I don’t understand it. It’s ugly.”
“They say there’s just enough religion in the world to make men hate one another, but not enough to make them love.”
Cyphre is quoting Jonathan Swift in Thoughts on Various Subjects from Miscellanies (1711-1726): “We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.”

“This is a church, Mr. Angel.”

“Listen, Epihpany, Toots is … Toots is dead. Yeah. You’re the one that sent the gift-wrapped chicken for two, aren’t you?”
