Faccia a faccia1967

Professor Brett Fletcher:
In pain, eh. You must know that torture is important, Wallace, because it lifts the morale of the torturer. Were you not taught that at the university? You were trapped by your higher education. It leaves its own smell on you, I know it too well.

Wallace:
I know you do and I can't imagine how a man of your background could.

Professor Brett Fletcher:
On the contrary, what is surprising is that a man like me could remain all those years watching life as a spectator before he discovered the force that was in him, but... Do you have any idea what can be accomplished here if you're a man of intelligence. Where men who are morons have succeeded in usurping the power.

Wallace:
Yes, he'd certainly be in a position to improve things but not a weak man like Brad Fletcher. You change your spots. You're civilized among civilized people and violent among the violent. You're quite ready to adapt to any new background like a parasite.

Professor Brett Fletcher:
Pity you didn't pay attention at school, Wallace. The philosophy of violence, recall it? One violent soul is just an outlaw, a hundred are a gang but they're an army at a hundred thousand, that is the point. Beyond the confines that limit the outlaw and individual criminal, violence by masses of men is called history. I must say that I'm glad I've been able to speak with an equal who understands me. Those others are only able to understand the simplest things, such as the fact that a spy must suffer proper punishment.

[Fletcher has one of his thugs hand him a gun and then points it at Wallace's face]

Professor Brett Fletcher:
Reasons of state, Wallace. You studied history so you know what I mean. Not out of hate... but with compassion.

[He shoots Wallace point-blank]
