How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
"No, that bloke's captain of the Other Team. Wrong side entirely." (30.57)
Dave clarifies that the mysterious "Old Gentleman" works for the blandly named Other Team. But "old gentleman" is a nickname for the devil. So that gives us a little clarity about what that "Other Team" is all about.
Quote #8
"God?" Dave almost laughed. "Not hardly, mate. That one's a thousand orders of magnitude removed from us." (30.59)
Okay, Dave is explaining a little bit about the chain of command here. He seems to be on the same side as God, but pretty far down the ladder. It's sure going to take a long time to climb this corporate ladder.
Quote #9
"One of our purposes, collectively, is to serve as the guardians of our world." (31.16)
No, this isn't a crossover with Guardian of the Galaxy; it's Coach Jericho, who is describing himself as one of the good guys. It's difficult at this point to tell if he's working for the same nebulous group as Dave or if he's just a well-intentioned ally.
