“security guard to Ikuto: Man... how much metal do you have on you?!”

“Security depends not so much upon how much you have, as upon how much you can do without. ”

“In the human heart there is a built-in obsolescence factor. It does not matter how powerful and influential you are, how much education you have, how selfcontrolled or holy you consider yourself—your heart, if you do not guard it, will break down.”

“Although a security guard is ostensibly there to provide security, his actual role is to give the illusion of safety to suburban women. If someone wants to do something dangerous, a security guard is helpless to stop them. Most older security guards understand this. If you're a yuppie in a suit, you will never get stopped. If you're a bike messenger, they're on you in a heartbeat. Go stand in an office building lobby and watch if you don't believe me.”

“And don't worry too much about security. You will eventually have a deep security when you begin to do what you want.”

“Ikuto! Are you ditching again? I'm bored, meow.”
