“What If I cut off your arm right now?
Then you'd see how fast the Institution would cast you aside.
Just like they did me."
"You wouldn't."
"No I wouldn't.
And I'm the villain.
What do you suppose that says about you?”

“Of course... I still wonder about every stranger who gives me a knowing look. About every cat who watched me too closely. I can only hope I reached her in some small way. I can only hope that if she does come back, she'll know me for who I am. A friend.”

“Well, what is there to do around here, anyway?"
"Well, here we have World Domination; it builds strategy skills—you can play as a dog, a boot, or a trebuchet."
Bewilder builds language and observation skills..."
"I said I wanted to play VIDEO games."
"Video games are a waste of time."
"And board games AREN'T?

“Quiet villain.
This is the end of the line for you Blackheart.
Not so clever after all, are you?
You thought you were setting a trap for us, but all along it was a trap for you!"
"Ah well, you got me.
Good job."
"We did get you."
"You did. You've done very well."
"Is this another trap?"
"I just want You to feel proud of yourself!”
