| You don't know what's going on. I do. So if you wanna keep your eyes shut to the whole world, then the least you can do is hear me out. Now... it's not what you think it is. No, you don't know my life! But I know yours. And I've done everything in the whole wide world hoping you'd never have to know. So, so you could go on thinking that people are good, and kind and that should make sense, you know? 'Cause I love that about you. But I can't. I'm good with the Lord. I'm fine with him. And I know how you were raised, alright? And I know how people fuckin' think out there, and fuck, it's gotta be that way. They've gotta tell you that 'Thou shall not kill' shit and all of that. But that's not the way the world works, Selby. Because I'm out there every fuckin' day living it. Who the fuck knows what God wants? People kill each other every day and for what? Hm? For politics, for religion, and THEY'RE HEROES! No, no... there's a lot of shit I can't do anymore, but killing's not one of them. And letting those fucking bastards go out and rape someone else isn't either! You know me. You think I could do it otherwise? I'm not a bad person, I'm a real good person. Alright? So don't feel bad. It's life. People like you and me go down every fucking day. But not us. Alright? Hey, it's almost over. Look at this... this is everything. Everything you ever wanted. Just a little more and a car and we're outta here. We have a shot, Sel. We have a shot at a real life, not this. A real one. |
