"Tom—when you marry Elvira, you'll be my brother, so it's all right to tell you that I love you, isn't it?"

"I love you because you are so gentle—and—and—peaceful — not like the others."

"This is all I have to remind me of the gentle Tom I loved. You are a bully — you take advantage of the fact that everyone is afraid of you."

"The only chance a little man has is to make people afraid of him."

"How many men did you kill with this?"

"I never killed any one—I never had but one fight. I only learned to make men fear me."

"And now I'm through with it all—I want to be the Tom you loved."
