"I am who you were intended to be." "I am vengeance." "There is only one way." "Kill two." "Come here." "Who is he?" "Who is who?" "There's a man in the village who looks like me," "Exactly like me." "He says he's going to kill you." "Six is going to kill me?" "no-- he's going to kill you." "Oh, and that six, he's angry." "Well, isn't that how you feel?" "come on-- admit it." "You'd love it-love it, the chance to kill me." "After what you've done... yes." "I'd like you dead." "So, you will be the assassin." "isn't that logical?" "Don't we live by logic?" "Not your logic, not anymore." "And your game, what you do to me here, won't stop me." "Are you quite sure that it is a game?" "Yes, 'cause no one gets close to two" "Unless two wants them to."
