Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Takeshi Kovacs : [narrating]  Humanity has spread to the stars. We set out like ancient seafarers to explore the limitless ocean of space. But no matter how far we venture into the unknown, the worst monsters are those we bring with us.

  Young Tak : "Once upon a time, in a village in the woods"

  Young Reileen : Don't read it, Tak. I want you to tell it our way.

  Young Tak : Okay. You ready? "Once, there was a cruel father who had two kids. He was called Mad Mykola."

  Young Reileen : "He was a miller, but he made the kids do all of the work." Where do you think their mom was?

  Young Tak : There are never moms in these stories. Come on, keep going.

  Young Reileen : "The girl and the boy worked so hard, that one night they fainted."

  Young Tak : "Mad Mykola found them lying on the floor, and he threw them both into the mill."

  Young Reileen : "Then he thought, who's going to do all the work for him?"

  Young Tak : "So he went into the village, stole more children. He killed them, cut them up, and took their bits and pieces to the loom."

  Young Reileen : "And stitched all their bloody dead parts into one huge, strong, creepy thing."

  Young Tak : "The Patchwork Man. But it turned, and it ripped Mad Mykola to shreds."

  Young Reileen : "Then it went out into the world. But its body kept falling apart."

  Young Tak : "So to this day, the Patchwork Man wanders the streets looking for children to kill, "to cut up, and to sew into himself."
