"Don't mind him, he's Mr. Scratch. Your friends will meet him when you're gone."-- Thomas Zane, Alan Wake
Zane: "The part of you that is in control is in the cabin, dreaming and insane."
Wake: "I don't think I like that."
Zane: "You represent the part of Alan Wake that is capable of rational thought and planning, which is why I'm talking to you. If that part can regain control, then you have a chance of making it. But a part of you wants to give in. There's... comfort in the oblivion of dreams. You represent the part that isn't ready to quit and die."
Wake: "Wait, are you telling me I'm not real?"
Zane: "You're as real as anything else in this place."
Wake: "So there are two of me?"
Zane: "Yes."
Wake: "And the one you called Mr. Scratch, he's me as well?"
Zane: "No."-- Alan Wake: The Writer DLC
"He showed me a knife. And he kept talking. Quite liked the sound of his own voice." - Dr. Meadows
