Father or no father
There’s only one way to look at him

They didn’t die
They killed themselves for each other

Otherwise what you really have is loot,
And there’s blood in it
31
Be smart now joe.

Crucify the man

Suddenly! But he promised to take responsibility

The voice of
God
43
Honest to god
It breaks my heart to see what happened to all the children

Your bothers alive, darling, because
If he’s dead, your father killed him
45
God does not let a son be
Killed by his father
46
For me! For me! I was dying everyday
And you were killing my boys and you did it for me?

Half the goddamn country gotta go

60
(pleading) Chris, a man cant be a
Jesus in this world
61
Sure he was my son.
But I think to him they were all my sons. and I guess the were, I guess they were.

What more can we be!
You can be better! Once and for all you can know there's a universe of people outside and you're responsible to it
