• Detective Bill Ramstead : Goodson, your intellectual vanity is breathtaking. These people that you're protecting, your patrons. Is it worth it? Is it worth throwing your life away for? Would they do the same for you? Not on your life, pal. I've been working with drunks and addicts and the mentally ill for my entire career, all day, every day. And they're not your friends. They don't give two shits about you! All they care about is their next hit, their next bottle, their next meal, and they will beg, borrow, and steal to get that from you.
