But you're not a - a proxy, I can't just use you to hurt people so I don't have to. I know you want to, but it feels the same.
He said things to me that - I know what he was trying to do, I know what he's trying to do to Chris and you and everyone, he wants to make us crawl. Admit that we're no better than he is. He knew people would try to hurt him. He wants that too.
But he's dirt compared to us. No point killing dirt.
