içerisinde (bkz: dr. steinmann) gibi etik ve vicdan ikilemlerinden sıyrılabilmek için çarpık ideolojilerini kendince bir mantık ve kutsiyet zeminine oturtarak bunları meşrulaştırmaya çalışan bir karakter * bulunduran harika oyundur.
*
"when picasso became bored of painting people, he started representing them as cubes and other abstract forms. the world called him a genius! ı've spent my entire surgical career creating the same tired shapes, over and over again: the upturned nose, the cleft chin, the ample bosom! wouldn't it be wonderful if ı could do with a knife, what that old spaniard did with a brush?"
"what can ı do with this one, aphrodite? she - won't - stay - still! ı want to make them beautiful, but they always turn out wrong! that one… too fat! this one… too tall! this one… too symmetrical! and now- what's this, goddess? an intruder! he's ugly! ugly, ugly, ugly!"
*
"with genetic modifications, beauty is no longer a goal or even a virtue, it is a moral obligation. do we force the healthy to live with the contagious? do we mix the criminal with the law abiding? then why are the plain allowed to mingle with the fair?!"
"today ı had lunch with the goddess. "steinman," she said... "ı'm here to free you from the tyranny of the commonplace. ı'm here to show you a new kind of beauty." ı asked her, "what do you mean, goddess?" "symmetry, dear steinman. ıt's time we did something about symmetry..."
*
"why do we have two eyes? ıs there some law that say we must? two arms, two legs, two ears, two breasts…"
"ryan and adam, adam, and ryan... all those years of study and, was ı ever truly a surgeon before ı met them? how we, plinked away with our scalpels and, toy morality. yes, we could lop a boil here, and shave down a beak there, but... but could we really change anything? no. but adam gives us the means to do it. and ryan frees us from the phony ethics that held us back. change your look, change your sex, change your race. ıt's yours to change, nobody else's!"
"adam denies us any excuse for not being beautiful."
*
"ı am beautiful, yes. look at me. what could ı do to make my features finer? with adam and my scalpel, ı have been transformed. but is there not something better? what if now it is not my skill that fails me... but my imagination?"
above all do no harm.

oyundaki tüm kötü karakterler böylesi bir hikaye derinleştirmesine sahip ve karakterlerin kendi kötülüklerini nasıl temellendirdiklerini gördükçe biz de yukarıda bahsettiğim süreçlerden geçiyoruz. bu karakterlerin kendi zihnimizdeki yansımasının da artık meşrulaşmış olduğunu farkediyoruz oyunu oynarken. artık bizim için saf birer kötü olmaktan çıkıyorlar ve (bkz: joker) gibi sempati duyulabilen kötüler haline geliyorlar.
