John-117: "Our duty, as soldiers, is to protect humanity. Whatever the cost." Lasky: "You say that like soldiers and humanity are two different things. Soldiers aren't machines. We're just people." Lasky: "I'll let you have the deck to yourself." John-117: "She said that to me once. …about being a machine."
