Opening Prologue

The following exchange (which is reminiscent of a similar dialogue heard at the start of most episodes of The Prisoner) takes place over surreal images of Goodchild and his forces alternating with images of Æon committing acts of sabotage.

Trevor : The dream to awaken our world!
Æon : You're out of control.
Trevor : I take control. Whose side are you on?
Æon : I take no side.
Trevor : You're skating the edge.
Æon : I am the edge.
Trevor : What you truly want, only I can give.
Æon : You can't give it, can't even buy it, and you just don't get it.

Utopia or Deuteranopia?

Trevor Goodchild: The window of and for error; the watcher observes; the fog collapses and event resolves; a theory becomes a fact. What is the truth? Tell me if you know [heh] and I will not believe you. Things are never as they seem. Clean gloves hide dirty hands and mine are dirtier than most. Without truth there can be no justice.

Gildamere: I'm staggered by the complexity of these documents. I've spent many hours trying to crack the codes.

Clavius: What don't you understand?

Gildamere: I think I have a handle on some of it; for example: the 'mile-high jellyfish', that's the upper-house of parliament. Am I right?

Clavius: No....

Gildamere: And the 'flying saucer men', that's the ministry of justice?

Clavius: No. The flying saucer men are the flying saucer men. Narzack! Area 66. The global empire. What level are you!? We're men of peace, so we attack. Deploy the orbital jellyfish. Next expulsion of all foreign particles.

Gildamere: You're mad... you're insane!

Clavius: [Hits Gildamere to the floor] Shut up, mother. [mumbles something about fecal matter]

Thanatophobia

Trevor Goodchild: Tell me your heart's desire---one wish and it's all yours.

Cybill: Anything?

Trevor Goodchild: Just no heads on the plates.

Trevor Goodchild: I'm going to go get a drink. Would you like one?

Cybill: No, thank you.

Trevor Goodchild: Right.... That would have been it you know.

Trevor Goodchild: That which does not kill us, makes us stranger.

A Last Time For Everything

Trevor Goodchild: My work offends you---why? Human beings are not so unique, just a random arrangement of amino acids.

Æon Flux: These people you're copying are already superfluous. You're trafficking in excess.

Ether Drift Theory

[edit]

The Purge

Aeon: You're psychotic. You no longer have a common conscience with your fellow man.

Trevor: I never did. You see, I understand the will to evil. The will to evil is like an iron in the forge. There is only one way to shape it [right]--with a conscience that is the fire.
