Quotes

Here are some quotes in 1000xRESIST.

Chapter 1

Speaker	Quote
Trapped Student	Doin' my time in a pressed white collar I was sippin' my juice from a box when I saw her She walks in clean, a straw in a wrapper No crime on record when she gave me a holler. Behind the bars of detention, payin' no attention No rap, no rhyme, just layin' down a sentence: "People learn different," who am I to say no? The bad kids stay. The good kids go.
Pigeon Student	And so they make a home on a strange land. Students, pigeons... We are all visitors here.
Wistful Student	My last school dance. What songs will they play? Fast songs? Slow songs?
Worried Student	We have enough trouble at home already...
Smoking Student	You still taking off to another continent? [...] And if you're ever looking for me, well... You know where to find me. Here.
Science Student	What an opportunity: to be both Subject and Observer!
Jiao	I thought you hate when I look like you.

Chapter 2

Speaker	Quote
Mother	You don't think I dream every night of going back home? Haunted by a place that doesn't exist?
Father	Survive at all costs. Right? That's what you always tell me. I'm telling you now. We can't stay. Or else they win. We can't let them win. Okay?

Chapter 3

Speaker	Quote
Iris	I want you all to remember... Not all gifts are free.
Iris	Dear Dumpster Jiao... Since you haven't been around I've got hot goss for you Turns out I can multiply myself Just by wishing for it to be true. It also turns out I'm immune To the virus that did you in So I'm still alive but without you It's sort of pretty grim. At least your journal keeps me warm Its pages feed the fire By the way I read it all All of your weird desires. Remember how I'd hate your laugh? How I'd hate your style? How I'd hate walking home from school With you bothering me for miles? Well now all i have is your picture And the world has come to an end I promise I will be nicer If you want to come around again.
Iris	Did I not give you life? Have I not given you everything you have? Am I so wretched and vile to deserve to be treated like this?
Healer	I want you — I need you — to admit you had a choice. And that you made the wrong one.

Chapter 4

Speaker	Quote
Occupant	There is a star and a star and a dangerous gravity. There is a you and an us and a means to us. But there is a nothing and it is not you and nothing lasts forever. [...] There is a decoupling of substance and a dangerous gravity.
Occupant (& Watcher)	There is a knot and a strand that tightens. (when met with an incorrect answer) Resonance. (when met with the correct answer) There is a strand and it loosens. (when all answers in the section are correct)
	There is a star and a star and a dangerous gravity. We have enough trouble at home. Count yourself lucky. There is an us and we have a compass. Pigeons are homing. They always want to go back home. There is a then and a creeping dispossession. I dream every night of going back home. Haunted by a place that doesn't exist. There is a landing and a remaining Off to another continent. I'm going to stay here...
	The us is a weave that can be unpicked. The very fabric of me is transforming. There is a you and it has a pattern we are looking at. Now, I'm ready for a human subject. There is a comfort in a new camouflage. I thought if I became just like Iris and made Jiao disappear... We take from you and you take from us. Do you want to open my present?
	There is a fundamental reordering. The bad kids stay. The good kids go. There is a decoupling of substances and a dangerous gravity. The rapid expulsion of all bodily fluids through the eyes. There is the you that remains that remains and remains. The world has changed, but you look like you haven't aged a day. There is a choice and we will not make it. I wish everyone here would just fucking drop dead. There is a strand and it falls away.
Knower	What's guaranteed, what's destiny, is that our sun grows large with age and engulfs us. Burning us to a crisp. In the end, our fate is always incineration. That is — if these visitors from far away don't have other plans.
Watcher, Knower	WATCHER: Why would Iris be shown this? KNOWER: The real question is... Did she consent?
Watcher, Knower	WATCHER: We're just echoes, repeating. KNOWER: Even echoes are defined by the space in which they reverberate. At least to our ears, they change with each occurrence. They decay. No surface is perfect enough. Are we destined to reflect until we dissipate?

Chapter 5

Speaker	Quote

Chapter 6

Speaker	Quote
Bartender, Blue	BARTENDER: I've seen you work. The solids you've made... You've got imagination. Empathy. Not everyone can make something others find joy in. ?????: ...it was dangerous. And I just turned the other way. I'm worse than useless. I'm...a horrible sister. It's like those fanatics said. I should burn... BARTENDER: Hey! Listen to me. No one is beyond forgiveness.

Chapter 7

Speaker	Quote
Father, Mother	FATHER: You remember? In the streets...hundreds of thousands marching shoulder to shoulder... Biggest demonstrations in HK history. The world watched it all happen. Heard our voices. Saw us bleed. MOTHER: So? FATHER: So if we stayed silent? didnt stand up for ourselves? They would say...this is how it always was. They would say...this is what the people wanted. But no. They can't say that. Because it has gone down in history... That we resisted fiercely. That we fought for a different future...until we couldn't. That legacy lives in us. MOTHER: ...dies with us too. FATHER: Yes. But it lives on in Iris.
Watcher	We'll never get anywhere by tampering with history.
Watcher, Blue	WATCHER: You know... I learned a thing or two this time around. BLUE: ...so did I. ...We need to change. WATCHER: Together then? ...Into the future.

Chapter 8

Speaker	Quote
Healer, BBF	HEALER: Remember what our functions have in common. Both require us to separate our heartbreak from our hand. BBF: Well this is my hand talking: Try again.
Watcher	But I feel present. I am here. ... I don't want to be a picture.
Watcher	The world you live in. I never wanted it to turn out that way. I should have done better. We all should have done better, tried harder. Left you something better.
Watcher	Isn't it strange? I've never actually been here before. But everything in my body tells me... It's home.

Chapter 9

Speaker	Quote
Fixer	Listen to me, there's a whole planet out there and we've been cut off from it. Isolated. Suffocating each other. We need to go up for air.

Chapter X

For how each group is described by Secretary, see: Endings

Speaker	Quote
Source	We are speaking their language now. Is this not death too?
Mother	We are poor technology. The human body and brain? Too capable of storing clutter. Too desperate to hold onto things. You just have to move forward.

Trivia

• The "Hekki" greeting originated as a typo from Remy Siu (1 of the developers), who was trying to type "Hello" into a chat. It became a running meme among the dev team that got incorporated into the game's lexicon.
