Kelly Scott : Did you want to be killed by it? Hector Cyr : You think I'm that nuts? Kelly Scott : Hector, what you just did, there had to be some sort of death wish going on. Hector Cyr : In ancient Malenesia people suspected of crime's would be thrown to the crocodiles. Crocodiles would decide. They would be the judge. Kelly Scott : Oh, so that was you wanting to be judged out there? Hector Cyr : Maybe I was, and so what? Is that too arbitrary? Better to be measured by my wealth? Better for me to get my self-esteem looking into the eyes of cheap sycophants craving a meal ticket? There was more honesty in those dragon's eyes. There was more dignity in those dragon's eyes... Kelly Scott : Jesus, Hector cut the shit. Hector Cyr : Aw, **** it.
