Det. Samuel 'George' Francisco: You humans are very curious to us. You invite us to live among you in an atmosphere of equality that we've never known before.

Which is why it is all the more painful and confusing to us that so few of you seem capable of living up to the ideals you set for yourselves.

The Holy Trinity, trinity of emptiness.
