'''Winston''': I think I exist. I am conscious of my own identity. I was born, and I shall die. I have arms and legs. I occupy a particular point in space. No other solid object can occupy the same point simultaneously. In that sense, does Big Brother exist?\\
'''O'Brien:''' It is of no importance. He exists.\\
'''Winston''': Will Big Brother ever die?\\
'''O'Brien:''' Of course not. How could he die? Next question.

->'''Jack:''' Why in the world do you want to go digging any deeper into the Nite Owl killings, lieutenant?\\
'''Ed:''' Rollo Tomasi.\\
'''Jack:''' Is there more to that or am I supposed to guess?\\
'''Ed:''' Rollo is a purse snatcher... My father ran into him off duty... and he shot my father six times and got away clean... No one even knew who he was. I just made the name up to give him some personality.\\
'''Jack:''' What's your point?\\
'''Ed:''' Rollo Tomasi is the reason I became a cop. I wanted to catch the guys who thought they could get away with it. It was supposed to be about justice. Then, somewhere along the way, I lost sight of it.
