“how can i believe you!? my whole life i’ve seen…”

“i get it, that was your story. look man i got one of those too, okay but those stories that we tell that keep us going. man, sometimes they blind us. they take us to dark places — the kind of place where i might beat the crap out of a good man, just for the fun of it. the people who love me, they pulled me back from that edge. cole, once you touch that darkness… it never goes away. now the truth is… i’m past saving. i know how my story ends, it’s at the edge of a blade or the barrel of a gun. so the question is, is that gonna to be today? it gonna be that gun?”
