I let you fly because I believed you could reach the stars, touch them. But you've strayed too far from home, from who you are, cuckolded by a woman's cunt."

And if you don't get your way, you fight until you do. Until the world lies at your feet. You're not a kind man who takes in strays out of charity. You're a ruthless man who brings home the naive to take advantage of them, to use them. Because there's no place in our world for the kindhearted, the faint of heart.
