[Garland Greene sees Poe come up after he kills Billy Bedlam in the cargo hold]

Garland Greene:
Two went down. One came up.

Poe:
Wasn't my fault.

Garland:
Well, you don't have to tell me. Most murders are crimes of necessity rather than desire. But the great ones... Dahmer, Gacy, Bundy... they did it because it excited them.

Poe:
Don't you... I got nothing in common with them — with you! Don't you talk to me! They were insane!

Garland:
Now you're talking semantics. What if I told you insane was working a 50-hour week for 50 years, at the end of which they tell you to piss off. Ending up in some retirement village, hoping to die rather than suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time. Wouldn't you consider that to be insane?

Poe:
Murdering 30 people, semantics or not, is insane.

Garland:
[smiles] One girl, I drove through three states wearing her head as a hat.

Poe:
It's my daughter's birthday, so please feel free not to share everything with me.
