"It's not very smart to piss off a guy who thinks about killing people for a living."

"You can't anticipate your dreams. Can't block them, can't repress."

"Sometimes, at night, I leave the lights on in my little house and walk across the flat fields. When I look back from the distance, the house is like a boat on the sea. It's really the only time I feel safe."

"Family friction is usually a catalyst for personality development."

"All the attention and responsibilities heaped on first-born children prepares them for success in the future."

"There's something foreign about family, like an ill-fitting suit. I never connected to the concept."

"So, can we have a conversation, or do you want to pretend that everything's alright?"

"You're the head of the unit! Why don't you come up with your own answers if you don't like mine?"

"Do I seem different?"

"You're a little different, but you've always been a little different."

"Did you just smell me?"

"I really must introduce you to a finer aftershave. That smells like something with a ship on the bottle."

"I don't know how much longer I can be all that useful to you."

"I'm not your father. I'm not going to tell you what you ought to do."

"I'm going to sit here until you're ready to talk. You don't have to say a word until you're ready, but I'm not going anywhere until you do."
