Knight Moves

Peter Sanderson:
Nothing I could have done to you, nothing warrants what you did.

Peter Sanderson:
You couldn't find your dick in a windstorm.

Kathy Sheppard:
I've always wanted to learn how to play chess. It seems like a complicated game.

Peter Sanderson:
Well, not really. You see your goal and go after it. Anything that gets in the way is an obstacle and must be destroyed.

Kathy Sheppard:
Sounds very violent...

Peter Sanderson:
Chess is a reflexion of life, life is violent. The strong win, the weak perish.

Kathy Sheppard:
You enjoy being the stronger one?

Peter Sanderson:
If you're asking me if I'm passionate about what I do, the answer is yes. Without passion, nothing moves us.

Peter Sanderson:
How?

Peter Sanderson:
Well, Huxley's quote also says, "for his play is always fair and just."

Grandmater Lutz:
You're acting like a superstitious schoolboy, Peter. What's next, incense and Rosary beads?

Peter Sanderson:
Causal.

Peter Sanderson:
It wasn't serious. What's your prolem?

Peter Sanderson:
Fine, don't ask me out on a date.

Peter Sanderson:
What is this?

Kathy Sheppard:
I'm just trying to get to know you better.

Peter Sanderson:
By atacking me.

Kathy Sheppard:
Attack you? You set your life up like one of your chessboards. YOu're impassable. You've become trapped behind your defenses. You're cut off from everybody around you.

Peter Sanderson:
What are you talking about? You don't know me.

Kathy Sheppard:
Does anyone?

Captain Frank Sedman:
What about Huxley? What is that?

Peter Sanderson:
He was referring to a quote by Thomas Huxley, "The chessboard is the world... the rules of the game are what we call nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us but we know that his play is always fair, just, and patient. We also know that he never overlooks a mistake.

Peter Sanderson:
Eventually revenge is carefully arranged.
