“Wednesday: This is the only country in the world that wonders what it is.

Shadow: You've been to a lot of other countries, have you?

Wednesday: No. No, never, just this one. Just that the others know what they are. I mean, no one wonders about the heart of Norway or goes searching for the soul of Mozambique. Mozambique knows what it is. They all know what they are.

Shadow: Americans know who they are.

Wednesday: They pretend they know. But it's still just pretending, like I'm pretending now. Just like you.”
