Sheriff Walt Longmire:
We men are wretched thing?

Ed Gorski:
We are? Ha, says who?

Sheriff Walt Longmire:
Achilles. About 3,000 years ago. You read the Iliad?

Ed Gorski:
I'm familiar with the classics.

Sheriff Walt Longmire:
Well if you read it, Ed, interpretations vary. I think it's a poem about a man's destructive rage. Achilles was a warrior. He had a partner, a fellow warrior. A friend. There is no greater enemy than the mortal enemy of a friend.

Ed Gorski:
I would not disagree with that.

Sheriff Walt Longmire:
So Achilles confronted his friend's great enemy. Achilles gave the man one warning. There is no weapon, no army that could protect this enemy from the sheer hell that is Achilles rage.

Ed Gorski:
And what happened to this enemy?

Sheriff Walt Longmire:
Achilles ran his sword through the man's guts, dragged his dead body around the town.

Ed Gorski:
So, could this enemy have done anything otherwise?

Sheriff Walt Longmire:
He could of got out of town, while he still had the chance.
