You contradict yourself in one breath, you know. I'd almost laugh, if it wasn't more sad than it is funny.

You see, that's just how it works, here.

It doesn't matter what I was. They don't care what I did, here.

Just like it doesn't matter that you're a solider, it doesn't matter that I was a terrorist.

We're both equal, so long as we behave here.

There's nothing funnier than that.

[And now he'll chuckle, that cold, quiet laugh.]
