Memorable Quotes:
Mallory: “I ran into that union soldier again. I couldn’t get much out of him. All he said was, ‘I died a thousand times.’ Wonder what he meant by that?”
Rembrandt: “Well, I’m no expert but I guess they mean that they use the same computer simulations over and over. I mean, you could say that these things die a thousand times.”
Mallory: “I’ve killed a thousand times.”
Rembrandt: “What the hell are you talking about?”
Mallory: “Remember when I told you I read a lot when I was confined to that wheelchair?”
Rembrandt: “Yes.”
Mallory: “That’s not all I did. I played a lot of video games. A lot of shoot-em-up type stuff. I would spend hours staring into a TV screen, mindlessly blasting anything that moved. It never occurred to me that I was blowing away images of people. Thousands of people without giving it a second thought.”
