Quotes

 * Walker: "Kids, don't try this at home. But who would every try this anyway?"
 * "No matter how much they captured the imagination, their numbers and power meant nothing in the end - a fleeting illusion in the shifting midst of the city. And that was exactly why he wanted proof that this illusion really existed. But Kadota understood. Only after the illusion vanished would he really know if that's what the Dollars were."
