Quotations

Who's next?! (in the trailer)

There's only one thing to get what you want in this world, and that's a beating. It's about watching your mouth, not talking back, Cory! (Flashback in Evil Mode)

Looks like trouble. (opening scene)

You've come so far, yet so far to go. Meet me down by the drowning pool. Its where all losers meet their end.

There's hate in there I know there is.

We got to stick together on this man

We gotta talk, Reckoning day is here my man, I know what I believe.

C'mon out here and holla at yo boy Miles.

Man that's raw Torque! You opened up that guy's brain matter all over my new floor!
