Quotes

• Julien: We shouldn't be playing God.

Vic: God creates all men equal. But once they get out of the womb, he starts playing favourites.

• Vic: I'm not an executioner!

Shane: Well, go tell that to Terry's family.

Vic: That's different. That son of a bitch, he was a traitor. Lem was my friend.

Shane: He was mine, too. You think you're looking at me through some window. All you're really doing is looking in a mirror.
