Bodhi

It's basic dog psychology, if you scare them and get them peeing down their leg, they submit. But if you project weakness, that promotes violence, and that's how people get hurt.

Bodhi
Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation causes your worst fears to come true.

Johnny Utah
I can't do this.

Fuckin A!
Nathanial
