Kore: First you've got to understand something about my family.

Kore: We're not like you. We're as different from your class as aliens.

Kore: We're like the titan Atlas. Carrying the world on our backs.

Xander: You realize who you're talking to, right?

Kore: I was eighteen years old when I was seized from my home by terrorists.

Kore: After a while...they got around to demanding a very small ransom for my return.

Kore: My father refused to pay it, and instead assassinated them.

Kore: The whole episode took six weeks. Start to finish.

Xander: You're cold. Put on a jacket.

Xander: Do you have any idea how difficult it is...to concentrate on your words...when your body is trembling like a leaf?

Kore: The experience changed my life...

Xander: I say that calls for a drink. Why do I do this? I'm too old for picnics.

Kore: You're not getting out of this. I watched an impossible situation turn on it's head. My father made them believe they'd asked for too much money. That I wasn't worth it.

Kore: That he was a cold, cold bastard. And it was their final downfall. But the secret was...

Kore: ...He is a cold bastard. We all are.

Kore: Don't cross me. You made me your equal. Except you have a heart.

Kore: Take it one day at a time.
