Quotes

Ben: Only God can make the weather stop.
Lodz: Think you can hide what you are? (edit)
Justin: You don't understand. God told me to do this. He spoke to me.
Belthus: As He speaks to all of us.
Justin: No. As He spoke to Abraham, Isaiah and Moses. (edit)
Alligator Boy: Oh, I hate albinos! (shudders in disgust) (edit)
Ben: You best not be pullin' some kinda monkey shine. (edit)
Lodz: In my experience, darkness often reveals the brightest life. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Lodz drinks absinthe in this episode, a common cause of blindness in the Parisian artistic culture of the late 1800s (think Toulous-Lautrec). Often called a dangerously addictive, psychoactive drug, it may be the cause of Lodz's blindness, revealed when he says to Ben, "I gave up my eyes for a fraction of what you possess." (edit)
After the storm when Sofie returns to her car, the driver window is open, but there's no apparent dust inside. One would imagine there'd a decent coating, and she'd at least have to sweep the seat off! (edit)
Since Apollonia can move objects as heavy as the trailer's door, why doesn't she shut the windows when the black blizzard hits? (edit)
Why, after such a major dust storm, do all the vehicles start up again so easily? Wouldn't the accumulated dust make them inoperable until they were cleaned out? (edit)
