Dark Angel Quotes

“I have this theory that everyone is a little mentally ill,” Letty said. “No such thing as perfectly normal. You’ve got all these branches extending out of some kind of theoretical normalcy. You’ve got the schizophrenic branch, the paranoid branch, the psychopathic branch, the sociopathic branch, the manic-depressive branch, the clinically depressive branch, the OCD branch, and so on. Nobody is dead center. Everybody is out on one of those branches. Or more than one. If you’re too far out, you’re nuts. If you’re just a little way out, you’re fine, but you have a tendency.” “Where”

“Baxter laughed as Letty fumed and looked out the passenger window, but finally she couldn’t stand it any longer, and said, “Women are not simple. Not as simple as men.” “Then how come they’re so easy to manipulate?” Baxter asked. “You tell the pretty ones that they’re smart, and the smart ones that they’re pretty, and badda-bing, you got them in bed.” “That’s the most cynical thing I ever heard.” “And you work in the Senate? I don’t believe you,” Baxter said. “Okay. It’s one of the most cynical things I’ve heard.” “Not even in the top hundred.” Letty had to think about that for a while, finally admitted, “Okay, not in the top hundred. But still cynical.” Baxter laughed again.”

“I looked you up, you know? When your name was first mentioned, before the NSA changed everything in your file,” Baxter said. “You’ve killed five people. Your father has killed even more. Some people might argue that you’re a family of psychopaths…” Long silence, then: “I have this theory that everyone is a little mentally ill,” Letty said. “No such thing as perfectly normal. You’ve got all these branches extending out of some kind of theoretical normalcy. You’ve got the schizophrenic branch, the paranoid branch, the psychopathic branch, the sociopathic branch, the manic-depressive branch, the clinically depressive branch, the OCD branch, and so on. Nobody is dead center. Everybody is out on one of those branches. Or more than one. If you’re too far out, you’re nuts. If you’re just a little way out, you’re fine, but you have a tendency.” “Where are you?” “A little paranoid, maybe a little manic, a little sociopathic…” “I’m purely paranoid, right?” Baxter asked. “I don’t think you’re paranoid at all, Rod. You gotta face it, people are out to get you,” Letty said. “Not just Ordinary People. Your own bosses forced you to do something you didn’t want to do and that could get you hurt, maybe even killed. Harp tried to turn you over to the FBI and send you to prison. Nope, you’re not paranoid. You’re wary.” “Maybe I’m normal.” “Mmm…no. Given the fact that you’re grossly overweight, you swill coffee and Coke like it’s about to be banned, I’d say you’re depressive, maybe with clinical episodes, and trying to self-medicate,” Letty said. “And possibly, a bit obsessive-compulsive.” Another long silence. Then, “Yeah. You could be right.”

“They were the kind of people whose unhappiness tended to become your unhappiness, to say nothing of your screaming agony.”
