Quotes 

• Cormac O'Connor : The Almighty made the world in six days and rested on the seventh. The High Table have given us three days and not a single minute of rest. Know that if I go down, I'm taking all of you down with me. You understand? Your failure humiliates me, and it's no secret what I do to those who humiliate me. Now get out of here so I can pray. It's a sacrilege, you people even being here in the first place. It's a wonder you don't all burst into flames.

• Cormac O'Connor : If I knew you were coming, I'd have rolled out the red...

  The Adjudicator : Oh, you weren't expecting me... in the wake of last night's events? And you eat... rather celebratory, considering your slew of recent failures.

  Cormac O'Connor : Comfort food, nothing more.

  The Adjudicator : Comfort? You think in history's great tales of survival, legendary men who battled their way back from defeat, they did so by comforting themselves?

  Cormac O'Connor : Well, I'm merely suggesting...

  The Adjudicator : Or was it the threat of starvation, the inevitable raping and pillaging, the eradication of their bloodline that motivated these men to pull themselves back from the fire?

  The Adjudicator : You know, it's understandable. People who are born into wealth as you were, they often seek comfort in the face of adversity. Perhaps it's time for you to feel uncomfortable. Yeah? I mean, discomfort is the great equalizer. Because the mess your people made last night has brought the missing coin press to the attention of the High Table.

  Cormac O'Connor : I'll find it. I got people in the field...

  The Adjudicator : You're a shell of yourself. Your own people are stealing from you.

  Cormac O'Connor : I want the High Table's resources.

  The Adjudicator : You have three days. You have three days to locate the coin press and bring those responsible to our feet. If you fail, the High Table will declare interregnum, suspend your position until we can name a successor. Your gilded cage will come crashing in on you. Enjoy your meal.
