People look at me and see my brother.
Daniel Vinyard So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned - my conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. Derek says it's always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like. 'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.' [quoting Abraham Lincoln]

Who do you hate, Danny?
Danny Vinyard
I hate anyone that isn't white Protestant.
Why?
Danny Vinyard
They're a burden to the advancement of the white race. Some of them are all right, I guess...
None of 'em are **** all right, Danny, OK?
****, you just **** with the wrong bull. You should've learned your lesson on the ****in' basketball court. But you ****in' monkey's never get the message. My father gave me that truck you mother****er! You ever shoot at fireman? You come here and shoot at my family? I'm gonna teach you a real lesson now mother****er. Put your ****in' mouth on the curb.
Lawrence Come on man.
Put it on the curb right now!
Danny Vinyard

[arguing about his "Mein Kampf" paper]
Look Sweeney, did you bring me here to talk about Derek? Because what happened to him has nothing to do with me.
Everything you do right now has something to do with Derek.
Danny Vinyard
[referring to Dr. Sweeney]
He's one of those proud to be **** guys, I hate those guys. He hate n***ers..
Now wait a minute Danny, he's not proud, no he's a manipulative self-righteous U**le T*m. He's trying to make you feel guilty about writing about Adolf Hitler. Some n***er, some sp*c writes about Martin Luther King, or ****in Caesar commie Chavez gets a pat on the head.

[On Derek's change in prison]
I'm sorry, Derek. I'm sorry that happened to you.
I'm not. I'm lucky. I feel lucky because it's wrong, Danny. It's wrong and it was eating me up, it was going to kill me. And I kept asking myself all the time, how did I buy into this shit? It was because I was pissed off, and nothing I ever did ever took that feeling away. I killed two guys, Danny, I killed them. And it didn't make me feel any different. It just got me more lost and I'm tired of being pissed off, Danny. I'm just tired of it.
