Quotes 

• Sayer of the Law : To go on two legs is very hard. Perhaps four is better, anyway.

• Sayer of the Law : It is a hard way, the way of being a man. Sooner or later we all want a thing that is bad. To walk on all fours. To suck up drink from a stream. To jabber, instead of saying the words. To go snuffling at the earth, and to claw on the bark of trees. To eat flesh, or fish. To make love to more than one, every which way. These are all bad things. These are not the things that men do. But we are men, are we not? We are men because the Father has made us men!

• Hyena-Swine : Five-man... please... tell them... that I am God. Hmm?

  [Hyena-Swine presses a button on Moreau's remote, causing many Beast People to collapse in pain] 

  Edward Douglas : You're right. You are... a god.

  Sayer of the Law : No!

  Hyena-Swine : Again.

  Edward Douglas : You are a god. You're all gods.

  Hyena-Swine : Tell them to obey me like they did the Father.

  Edward Douglas : You all killed the Father. You all ate his flesh. So who is the new Father? Who is God Number One? Who should they obey? Him? Or him?

  [indicating other members of Hyena-Swine's pack] 

  Edward Douglas : You see, there must be a God Number One.

  [the Hyena-Swine roars in Douglas's face, then rears up and opens fire on his pack members] 

• Hyena-Swine : Tell them that I am the Law.

  Sayer of the Law : Do not believe him! He is not the Law!
