"How about that-- a rigid moralist?" "Well, if you really want my opinion, I mean, i'd say you have sociopathic tendencies maybe, but, um, I don't really know what a moralist is, to be honest" "Well, it means that I have a very strong, strict code for what's right and wrong- lt means I don't deal with compromises." "I don't accept them- l believe what's right is right- lt's funny, you know, 'cause all these people out there-- they think if you're a criminal," " you don't have any morals" " Right?"
