[Ray has just found out that the man he killed for Frank wasn't his wife's rapist]

Ray Velcoro:
I would have been different.

Frank Semyon:
Of all the lies people tell themselves, I bet that's the most common.

Ray Velcoro:
I could have. You fucked me. I sold my soul for nothing!

Frank Semyon:
If you were selling, it wasn't me buying.

Ray Velcoro:
You wanted your hooks in a cop, so you used my wife's fucking tragedy to get me to kill somebody?

Frank Semyon:
I didn't get you to do anything. I gave you a name and you made your choice, and that choice was in you before your wife or any of this other stuff. It was always there, waiting. Didn't you use that man to be what you were waiting to become? This thing, your wife, those are just excuses. You think you were Superman, previous? And hey, own it. You think I'd have done less? That's the kind of thing that keeps you out of Heaven. I don't want to go.
