Edward Blake Quotes in Watchmen (2009)

Dr. Manhattan: She was pregnant. And you gunned her down.

Edward Blake: That's right. And you know what, you watched me. You could've turned the gun into steam, the bullets into mercury, the bottle into goddamned snowflakes but you didn't, did you? You really don't give a damn about human beings. You're driftin' out of touch, Doc. God help us all.

Adrian Veidt: It doesn't take a genius to see that the world has problems.

Rorschach: Justice matters!

Edward Blake: Justice? Justice is coming to all of us, no matter what the fuck we do. You know, mankind's been trying to kill each other off since the beginning of time.

Sally Jupiter: [to Eddie after sending Laurie away from him] Are there no depths you won't sink to?
