Stephen:
Jesus Christ, Axe!

Axe:
You don't understand. My cousin, my cousin, Sally, used to work at Swayzak's office. She saw the files, Stephen. She saw what he did!

Stephen:
You set me up with those chemicals on the boat?

Axe:
I'm trying to explain.

Brian:
Stephen!

Axe:
You back off!

Stephen:
Axe...

Axe:
Somebody had to stop these pricks, Stephen!

Stephen:
Would you look at me, Axe?

Axe:
Would you please listen to me?

Stephen:
What were you thinking? You burned people!

Axe:
You didn't see.

Stephen:
You're a fireman!

Axe:
When Sally showed me what was in Swayzak's files...

Brian:
You saw Swayzak's files?

Axe:
I should've told you. I should've let you on it.

Brian:
Let him in on what, John? Murder?

Axe:
Let you in on it while Swayzak and those a**holes were closing firehouses. They were getting our friends killed for money! I had to, Stephen! I had to do it for the department!

Brian:
Did you do it for Tim, John?

Axe:
That was an accident!

Stephen:
Did you start that fire?

Axe:
Jesus Christ! Why'd you have to go in there so f***ing early?

Stephen:
That's why you wanted me to wait.

Axe:
Let me finish Swayzak!

Brian:
No, John! It's over!

Axe:
You shut up! Your dad would f***ing puke if he saw how you sh*t on his department!

Brian:
What would he say about what you're doing, John?!

Axe:
Your dad died saving my life. Died saving my life, and these people were killing firemen for money.

Stephen:
Swayzak?

Axe:
He killed our friends for money! What the f*** would you do?

Brian:
Look, you're his lieutenant, Stephen! You've gotta handle this!
