That's not true! I'm not some kind of heartless monster. I care about things. My family. The life we built together. And any guilt I felt -- that was real. I'm not some kind of....of.... sociopath.

Maybe a man who locks people up and tortures them in his basement can't understand. But I'm not a monster. I'm nothing like you. I don't break people down and build them up how I want them to be. And when I'm up against someone, I don't cheat and drug them to win. I outsmart them. I earn my victories.
