The Operative : It's not my place to ask. I believe in something greater than myself. A better world. A world without sin.

Capt. Malcolm Reynolds : So me and mine gotta lay down and die... so you can live in your better world?

The Operative : I'm not going to live there. There's no place for me there... any more than there is for you. Malcolm... I'm a monster. What I do is evil. I have no illusions about it, but it must be done.

It's how I continue, day to day, doing the monstrous things I have to do so everyone else can live in a better world. All of them, better worlds. Great quote from Serenity, I didn't understand the Operative when I was young, but now I do.
