    - Michael: You know, I don't think erections rape people. People rape people.”

    - The Trickster: It could be any girl in any window and you know it.
    - Michael: I won't kill her!”

  • “Video games are ancient history. This is the first disk in a series of four. If time runs out you'll not be allowed to play the next disk. That can be extremely dangerous. Do not let that happen. One final detail... you must think like a killer. Cover up any clues. Leave no witnesses, no evidence. And most importantly, enjoy the fear!”
