Oh, that's not true. You think all revenge is big and bloody? It's not. There's a thousand tiny revenges that go on every day--there's a thousand monsters out there, but they're monsters in small ways. They don't go out and tear a man t' pieces, but they'll cut at him every day, and they'll think themselves justified in it--and maybe they are. And those small things, they're not so bad, yeah? Except every little revenge, it chips away at you.

And if you gave those same people a chance--one free chance, if they knew they couldn't be touched afterwards--if you put the gun in their hands and said do it, if you left that man's front door unlocked and told them where he'd hidden his money--they'd rob him blind, they'd shoot him, they'd take what they wanted.
