Episode Quotes
King Silas Benjamin: Things usually go well for me... of late, my plans are frustrated. I can't lose what's threatened tonight, and it hangs by threads, by minutes. What does He want from me? Why does He act my enemy? Port Prosperity - is that the cost? I'll take it back; I'll rescind the offer.
Rev. Ephram Samuels: I can not tell you of God's mind; He shares with me at his pleasure... and on the subject of Silas, He is silent.
King Silas Benjamin: ...I did right by him. This land was once a place where men of faith feared to walk the streets, and prayers came in whispers. *I* made it safe for men like you.
Rev. Ephram Samuels: So God owes *you*?
King Silas Benjamin: If not him, you. Tell me what's the fair trade.
Rev. Ephram Samuels: One offers sacrifice according to the offense; only you can name that.
King Silas Benjamin: Sacrifice? Has He not moved past that yet?... Give him my best; tell him I've given too much.
Rev. Ephram Samuels: We make amends, Silas - the pure, the unblemished - for our sin.
King Silas Benjamin: He wants what I will not let him take. I will not leave this on the altar, and live...
Rev. Ephram Samuels: Then you find another lamb.
King Silas Benjamin: No... not even God is that cruel.

Queen Rose Benjamin: This country was nothing before it had a king... stone age clans at war. It's why I designed every inch of this monarchy as I did - the color of the flag down to, yes, the china - so they could have something larger than life to be inspired by. Decadence, kings, huge and poreless. You think I care about ballet? They didn't wait in line to see dancing; they came to see *us*, the royal family - *we* are the performance.
Jack Benjamin: Thing about royalty is, there's no end to what people will do to get close to you - like it'll rub off and suddenly make them less obscure. Something in the way my mom set up the monarchy... they think we're something other than human.
David Shepherd: So they... give you things.
Jack Benjamin: Whatever they have. The waters part, and dignity crumbles; I have a room in my apartment just for that.
