- Perry: He's avoided, so long, his need for another. Out of pride... more so fear. We're both at war with ourselves. His battle is the fear of living and enduring more pain. Mine is the truth of man's existence and necessity for sacrifice.
- Perry: Life has been reduced to a series of excuses, compromises, my will being destroyed. Do I have a choice to prevent it?
- Perry: I know you don't think I experience the same pain as you, but I do.
- Giovanni: How much do you hate your dad, Perry? If he died, would you miss him? No. You'd run home to mommy and have some f**king touching family moment.
- Perry: It wouldn't change.
- Giovanni: Yes, it would. Yes, it would. F**k! I'm sick of hearing your bullshit! Your pain isn't real. You make it up.
- Perry: A scandal here. A corruption there. Or what I like to call, just another day on Capitol Hill. As long as they can pat themselves on the back, every now and then, our leaders seem to think they are doing good by us, their constituents. However, as a son who is expected to follow in his father's footsteps, I now stumble.
