Easy for me....
"No. Not without incident."
That, for me, was the pivotal moment where Preston evolved through turning off his emotion for the sake of the task at hand.

my favorite quote?
"YYAAAAHHHH!" - A Sweeper guard screamed as Preston grabbed his rifle and twisted his arm with it.
I can't help but laugh; his scream was so hilarious!

I liked the the two lines between Preston and DuPont before he shot him, but i cant remember the exact lines. Someone help me out here lol. This is about as accurate as I get: Dupont: Wait! Wait! Look at me! I live, I breathe, I feel. Now that you know it, can you really take it? Is it really worth the price? *pause for tension * Preston: I pay it gladly *bang* Anyways, I loved that "maybe I'm just better" quote too Trin! The look on Brandt's face! Hehe! Deimos

A couple of my favourites: Mary: "Why are you alive?" Mary: "Without love, without anger, without sorrow, breath is just a clock ticking." Partridge: "No you're not. You don't even know the meaning. It's just a vestigial word for a feeling you've never felt." DuPont: "You really should learn to knock." Jurgen: "Will you do it?" Preston: "Yes." Jurgen: "Can you?" Preston: "I don't know." Also, I like Father's speech at the beginning...maybe I'm the only one, but I still find myself being swept up in it

Partridge (Yeats): "Tread softly, for you tread on my dreams." Of course. As we see above.
DuPont: "It is not the message that is important, but our obedience to it."

Ok, here are mine:
DuPont: "It's not the will of the Council, it is the will of Father and he is law"
Jurgen: "Without restraint, without control - emotion is chaos"
Preston to Brandt: "I'm rearranging my desk"
Jurgen: "Will you do it?" Preston: "Yes" Jurgen: "Can you?" Preston: "I don't know"
DuPont to Preston:"You really should learn to knock"
Preston: "Burn it!"
Brandt: "Always practising, Cleric. Maybe that's why you're the best" Preston: "Maybe I'm just better"
DuPont:"It's not the message that is important, but the obediance to it".
Quite few of them...

This is when Preston first met Jurgen Preston: You're Jurgen. Jurgen: You're feeling.
Preston: Errol Partridge. Mary: The name is supposed to mean something to me? Preston: He was a cleric at the tetragrammaton, first class. You knew him. Mary: News bulletin: I'm a sense offender. I don't hang around much with clerics. Preston: (showing her the picture) I want to know everything about him. Mary: Then I suggest you go ask him. But as I understand, he's been killed by your friends at the tetragrammaton. Preston: Not by my friends. By me

You ask him for it...

"Be careful Preston, you're treading on my dreams." "Not without incident" "Without love,without anger, without sorrow,breath is just a clock ticking."
These are my favorite EQ quotes.

Mary: Why are you alive? Preston: I'm alive... I live to safeguard the continuity of this society, to serve Libria. Mary: It's circular. You exist to continue your existence. What's the point? John Preston: What's the point of your existence? Mary: To feel! 'Cause you have never done it, you can never know it. But it's as vital as breath. And without it, without love, without anger, without sorrow, breath is just a clock... ticking.

Father: "Libria, I congratulate you. At last, peace reigns in the heart of man. At last, war is but a word whose meaning fades from our understanding. At last, we are whole. Librians, there is a disease in the heart of man. Its symptom is hate. Its symptom is anger. Its symptom is rage. Its symptom is war. The disease is human emotion. But Libria, I congratulate you, for there is a cure for this disease. At the cost of the dizzying highs of human emotion, we have suppressed its abysmal lows. And you as a society have embraced this cure. Prozium. Now we are at peace with ourselves, and humankind is one. War is gone. Hate, a memory. We are our own conscience now, and it is this conscience that guides to rate EC-10 for emotional content all those things that might tempt us to feel again, and destroy them. Librians! You have won! Against all odds and your own natures, you have survived!"

last conversation between preston and his partner: "You always knew...........-........But I being poor, have only my dreams. I have spread my dreams under your feet. Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams. I assume you dream Preston ?" "I'll do what i can to see they go easy on you..." "we both know, they never go easy." "then I'm sorry" "no you're not, you don't even know the meaning...Its just a...vistigeal word for a feeling you've never felt. Dont you see Preston, It's gone. Everything that makes us what we are, traded away." "there's no war...No murder" "What is it you think we do ?" "No, you've been with me, you've seen how it can be - the jelousey, the rage." "A heavy cost...I pay it gladly." <cool sounds of Cleric Partridge getting his gun> "Don't!" <Cleric Partridge pulling back his firearm hammer sound> <long anxious pause> "BANG" shot through the neck, and dead with my favourite Cleric

I'm partial to:

Bale deliverd it so perfectly. He doesn't know WHY he's doing it, he just knows that he IS! He facial expression is perfect. I always laugh there.

"It's not the message that is important, but our obedience to it."
I suspect I understand this quote in a different way than most people--I'm going all postmodern/post-structuralist with it. I like it because we live in an age where we are deluged with information ("messages"), to the point where we sometimes don't know what to do with it all, and get to feeling overwhelmed. To me, what we do with information is at least as important as what the information is, and that quote reminds me of that.

I like when Preston is in the bathroom with his son, and the boy says:
- Did you forgot that my job is to know what you´re thinking?
And then Preston says:
- then you already know what I´m gonna do.
========
I also like that one.
"Tetragrammaton, there´s nothing we can´t do."

"Tetragrammaton, there´s nothing we can´t do." I like that one too. But my favorite is when Preston confronts the guy in the library (or whatever it's called) "You're an offender." "I'm not." "No? Then why are you so scared of me?"
