“You’ve got to realize I’m not like you. I’m too warped and tangled by too many yesterdays to be like you. This doesn’t mean I’m fated to be a menace to society. If I believed my future had to be like my past, I’d kill myself. I’m tired. I can bend enough to stay within the law, but I’m never going to be the guy who goes home to San Fernando Valley to a wife and kids. I wish I was that guy, but I’m not. And your threats aren’t going to hold me. Threats instill fury, not fear.”
