Do you realize that you're unique?
What's your point, Harry?
My point is that you've lived here for so long that you're more human than you are alien.
Don't try my patience; I've very little left.
That's what I mean. The truth is that you've lived here for 35 years in torment, in suffering, in a terrible kind of loneliness. Now you're revolting against your condition. Despite the pain, you want to live, Quinn. That's a human feeling!
What I've done, I've done to survive, no matter what you read into it!
From what I know of your people, they are short on humor and they are long on murder. Do you think that millions of alien society are going to, going to accept that body? That mind and its human feelings, let alone allow a half-breed like you to lead them?! No, Quinn; your kind is intolerant in their superiority!
Your kind murders anything different from its own. Yours is the killer race, Harry, not mine!
But we have learned the value of tolerance, Quinn. And your species hasn't! Tolerance is, and always will be, the saving grace of humanity.
Tolerance, Harry. What good is tolerance to me?
Because if you want to live, Quinn, humans will tolerate you. They might even celebrate your half-alien identity, but your kind, your kind will squash you! They will kill you out of fear!
I will rule this planet, and anybody who stands in the way will die.
That's been tried before, Quinn. Maybe not by one man operating all by himself!
Oh, but I'm more than one, Harry. I have you. And if you're good, really good tonight, Harry, the United Nations will end this war.
And put you on the throne?!
You'd better pray that they do. Because if this fails, you'll be extinct... along with all the rest of your God-forsaken species.
