Chris: Nola… it wasn’t easy. But when the time came, I could pull the trigger. You never know who your neighbors are till there’s a crisis. You can learn to push the guilt under the rug and… go on. You have to. Otherwise it overwhelms you.
Mrs. Eastby: And what about me? What about the next-door neighbor? I had no involvement in this awful affair. Is there no problem about me having to die as an innocent bystander?
Chris: The innocent are sometimes slain to make way for a grander scheme. You were collateral damage.
Mrs. Eastby: So was your own child.
Chris: Sophocles said: “To never have been born may be the greatest boon of all.”
Nola: Prepare to pay the price, Chris. Your actions were clumsy. Full of holes. Almost like someone begging to be found out.
Chris: It would be fitting if I were apprehended and punished. At least there would be some small sign of justice. Some small… measure of hope… for the possibility of meaning.
