Wallace Shawn: Sandy
Quotes
-
Joshua Lazarus : That was the Argentinean Finance Minister. They want me to bankrupt him because he's not playing ball. They can't have that.
Sandy : That's awful. I should just say no when they ask to hire one of you. And they always ask for you or Kira. You're the only scopers they consider level-headed. Anyway, I'm sorry to make you do these abominable government jobs, but the Home needs the money.
Joshua Lazarus : You don't have to justify yourself to me, Sandy. You saved my life.

Sandy : From the recurrence of the voices, sanity is generally lost within a month. I'm so sorry.
Joshua Lazarus : Don't be. I've had enough time. Thank you for being straight with me, Sandy.
Sandy : [Sandy rises and pulls a pill bottle out of his pocket] Here. These are stronger. They should help a little. Make sure you take them regularly!
[He grimaces]
Sandy : I'm needed back at the Home, Josh.
[He pulls some papers from his inner coat pocket]
Sandy : So... you should decide this now. Don't make the same mistake Bobby made.
Joshua Lazarus : [Josh looks unhappy] You decide for me. I mean it.
Sandy : Have you visited Bobby recently?
Joshua Lazarus : No. I can't.
Sandy : The NSA insists on permanent restraints, even with the sedation.
Joshua Lazarus : Yeah. Just...
[He picks up a pen. A tear rolls down his face]
Joshua Lazarus : Nothing, uh... sentimental with, uh, with the ashes.
[He wipes his eye]
Joshua Lazarus : You promise me?
Sandy : When you feel like the voices are becoming too much, come back to the Home.
