“There’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance and I’m pretty certain that you’ve more than overstepped it. I mean, Jesus! Are you even listening to yourself right now? And even so, maybe that wouldn’t be so bad if you hadn’t just admitted to using those skills to slaughter people on your little crusade against crime. Real funny. What I’m eager to see is someone knock a little sense into your head, but the longer this conversation goes on the more I’m starting to think that’s a lost cause. Well, it’s a relief to know that I’m not the only one to be so charmed by your company, I’d be seriously worried for the person able to stand next to you for more than two minutes without wanting to sock you. This Harper guy must be some kind of saint to be able to put up with you long enough to find out what makes you tick.”
"We already have heroes for that exact reason, except we don’t go running around with delusions of grandeur thinking that we’ve got any authority to decide who lives and who dies! That’s the whole point. You don’t let personal reasons influence your decisions on the field to the point that you get so caught up in it that you can’t see anything else. You think that just because daddy didn’t love you enough that gives you any right to take all your misplaced anger out on the world? I’ve heard that story enough times to know that it’ll end badly for you. What I’m trying to do is help you, Jason.”
"It’s sad more than anything that you genuinely seem to think that."
"What’s wrong with that? If you’re a crime fighter yourself, you know very well that those bastards won’t stay behind bars. They’re waltz in and out, just like it always happens. Why not take them out once and for all, huh? I’m doing everyone a favour here, I’m taking anyone who is a threat out. You sure all act tough yourself, wanting to punch a guy you just met, a guy who willingly admits that he’s not afraid to both maim and kill. Wanting to see him beaten down for doing what, telling you the truth as it is? Being fed too many lies from those you idolized, right? You archers with your short tempers and snappy come backs are all the same. Harper knows when to stop, something that you don’t seem to realise.”
“And they get to make that call? They get to choose who lives and who dies when they’re threatening people out there? Those people are mostly innocent, they, not so much. So killing them is a good call, they’re guilty, they won’t learn, you just get rid of them like vermin before it’s too late, simple as that. Listen here, girlie. You don’t know me or anything about me, no matter what stories you’ve heard. I don’t need your help or pity, I’m doing just dandy. So don’t try to appeal to my emotions or whatever you’re trying to do, it won’t work on me.”
“I do believe what I’m saying. I wouldn’t be standing right here if I wasn’t confident in my words and skills.”
