Episode Quotes
Stan: If Al's death proved anything, it's that our choices still matter, now more than ever.
Simon: You dropped off the radar, Lloyd. Without so much as a phone call. I've had to check myself into the hospital to have my bruised ego x-rayed.
Lloyd: You want to wager the fate of millions of people on the outcome of a... poker game?
Simon: The Gods did it all the time. Dice, Chess. Whatever took their fancy. They loved tinkering with the lives of mere mortals.
Lloyd: We're not gods, Simon.
Simon: Twenty million deaths on our shoulders. Isn't that what you said? If that doesn't qualify us for godhood, tell me... what does?
