- The Mechanic: And so... All that was left was the man and the devil... trapped in the writer's creation. It was then the man realized he was no man, but a thing. Written... by a malevolent God. The only choice that could truly be his own would be to take his own life. But the devil was no puppet. And the writer would not write him, and if the writer were to trap him in this house the devil would tear the house down.
- Noah: We are tested so that we can see through the eyes of God what he sees. So we can see ourselves as he sees us.
