Patrick Jane: "Why are you telling me all of this?"

Timothy Carter: "Well, I think we have a connection that needs to be honored. I want to say goodbye. I want to apologize for any pain I might have caused you, and I want to release you from this curse you're been under."

Jane: "I'm not under a curse."

Carter: "Doomed to an endless angry search for vengeance you will never have? I would call that a curse, don't you?"

Jane: "I look at it as more of a hobby, and I will have that vengeance."

Carter: "Vengeance? On what? Look at me. I'm just a regular guy. You thought I'd have horns, huh? Right? I'm not a monster. I'm not the devil. I'm just another human being with flaws, and vices and problems just like anybody else. Forget about me. I'm not worth ruining your life."

Jane: "Wherever you go, you delusional freak, I will find you and I will kill you, and then, then I will forget about you."
