"I have a separate report from Dap, the teacher assigned to watch him most closely. And that report -- for which there are to be *no* sanctions against Captain Dap -- tells me that Andrew Wiggin is 'psychologically unfit for duty.'"
"*If* he is, which I doubt, it is only temporary."
"How much time do you think we have? No, Colonel Graff, for the time being we have to regard your course of action regarding Wiggin as a failure, and the boy as ruined not only for our purposes but quite possibly for any other as well. So, if it can be done without further killings, I want the other one pushed forward. I want him here in Command School as close to immediately as possible."
"Very well, sir. Though I must tell you that I regard Bean as unreliable."
"Why, because you haven't turned him into a killer yet?"
"Because he is not human, sir."

"He was manufactured, and the manufacturer was a criminal, not to mention a certified loon."
"I could see some danger if his *father* were a criminal. Or his mother. But his *doctor*? The boy is exactly what we need, as quickly as we can get him."
"He is unpredictable."
"And the Wiggin boy is not?"
"Less unpredictable, sir."
"Very carefully answered, considering that you just insisted that the murder today was 'not foreseeable.'"
"*Not* murder, sir!"
"Killing, then."
"The mettle of the Wiggin boy is proved, sir, while Bean's is not." "I have Dimak's report -- for which, again, he is not to be --" "Punished, I know, sir."
"Bean's behavior throughout this set of events has been exemplary."
