Quotes 

• Senator Higgins : [VO]  This is the story of the human race. This is the story of its guardian. A tale of love and a tale of hate. Of infinite knowledge and infinite madness. This is the tale of Gilgamesh.

• Senator Higgins : [VO]  Some say that he's older than our planet. Older than our galaxy even. That he was manifested in the very beginning. Before space. Before time. Dust, debris, and radiation - left over from the great explosion that created the universe - created him. It was simply the right combination of elements to create life. Yet others make claim that he is a guardian sent by God Himself to watch over the human race and protect us... from ourselves. And others... question his motives. Not sent by God, but by someone - or something - else. Not to watch over us, but to corrupt us and spread fear and death.

• Senator Higgins : [VO]  There are so many unexplained phenomena on our tiny little planet. Who built Stonehenge? The pyramids? That is only the tip of the iceberg. Let alone the questions that we may ponder of the vast and ever-expanding universe. Mere ants going about their daily routine... never taking the time to understand the meaning of existence. But all those questions... they have an answer. It's not a matter of these so-called mysteries having no answers. Someone has the answers - if only one man. It's a matter of do you want to know the truth? And better yet, would you want to understand truth - to comprehend it - even if you were able to?

• Senator Higgins : If Lars wasn't hosting a party, we'd be water-boarding you right now.

• Senator Higgins : And then the meteor came. Her pet. Simply biding time until she gives the order to fulfill our extinction prophecy.

• Senator Higgins : We brought the apocalypse on ourselves, you and I.

• Senator Higgins : [VO]  The government became broke. President Lars has dismissed the Constitution. Our country is now a military dictatorship.

• Senator Higgins : [VO]  Fallout from the meteor has generated a dust cloud that now blocks out the sun. Our planet is on the brink of death.
