Bruce Wayne: "It" has a name, Lex...

Death: You know me?
Trevor: I'm Trevor Belmont, of House Belmont. Of course I know you. Finding things and recognizing things is what we do. And you are absolutely a thing.
Death: I was put here at the dawn of life on Earth to feed on the last breath of every one of you fuckers. (irritatedly) I'm a little more than a... thing.
Trevor: No. You're only a thing. You're only an old killer. You don't make anything; you don't live. You just eat and hide.

“It?” Marco asked.
I glanced up at him. “The host body.” I’d thought that much at least was clear.

I was standing under this picture the day when Lazlé put a pill in his mouth before we could get to him. That was all right: he was finished and knew it and did the sensible thing and at least he died in civilized surroundings instead of where they would have put him if we’d thrown him back over the frontier. But he was on the floor and already turning green when Parkis told us to “take it away and get it buried.” We didn’t like that either: it was said for effect.
