MAYOR HAMMOND: (BALLOON)
A youth from one of the most impoverished areas of the city, arrested for dealing what could be a cash crop if the government and moral grandstanders would get out of the way so that he can raise money to afford food for his family is different from a rich teenager's nightly antics where he rear-ends a woman while intoxicated and has friends in the car who were in possession of PCP.
JACOB WHITAKER: (BALLOON)
I suppose it's easy for you to sympathize with the bogans considering that your past saw you behaving analogously. Do you see yourself in them?

JACOB WHITAKER: (BALLOON)
Mark my words, you will pay for this affront. A time will come when you need friends and not even your precious iota title will be able to lend you support. When that time comes, I hope that I'll be able to see what becomes of you.
