Confusion and selfdestruction.

And your denial has brought nothing but selfdestruction.

I made you! You are my Frankenstein!

Ruin me.

Kadoom. Kadoom. Kadoom.

We find ourselves in the paralyzing grip of self destructive habits we can't break.

My ruination.

You corrupt and destroy men... as my brother was destroyed.

I didn't destroy it.

You're willin' to destruct everything, even yourself.

You have plans, you... My ruination. Katie, shh.

... for20'ssake.

First Contact became humanity's salvation as it was at the brink of self destruction.

First we have to destroy

Not one habitation have We destroyed but at the time determined for it.

And every dwelling that We destroyed, had a known decree for it.

Never a city have We destroyed, but it had a known decree,

And We have not destroyed a town but there was therefor a decree known.

And never did We destroy a township but there was a known decree for it.

We have never destroyed a town unless it had a set time.

Whenever We destroyed a town, a definite term had previously been decreed for it.

And We destroyed no township but there was a known decree for it.

We did not destroy any town but that it had a known term.

We never destroyed a village whose term had not already been decreed.

And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree.

We never destroyed any town without pre ordaining the fate of its people.

And never did We destroy a town but it had a term made known.

We have never destroyed a township without a definite decree having been issued

Never did We destroy a population that had not a term decreed and assigned beforehand.

That they have been destroyed, one might say, by their own excellence.

The alternative is that civilizations don't last very long, but destroy themselves.

Sorry, but I take a dim view... of watching my own destruction take place.

Why should I ruin you?

You'll ruin me, Miss Meacham. Come on, Charles.

So long as men die liberty will never perish.

Then We destroyed the rest of them,

Have We not destroyed the earlier generations?

We then destroyed the others.

Did We not destroy the earlier people?

then We destroyed the others,

Did We not destroy the ancients,

Thereafter We annihilated the rest.

Destroyed We not the ancients?

Then afterward We destroyed the others.

Did We not destroy the ancients?
