Quotes 

• Denis : An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

• Denis : If someone said to me 'look, your wife's dead, sorry and all that stuff, there's not much we can do about it but, you can visit her once a week for two hours; you can hold her hand, you can talk to her, bring her a couple of books, kiss her goodbye'... I would settle for that. I'd settle for once a month. I'd settle for once a year. I'd settle for one minute more for the rest of my life, just to see her again.

• Denis : A man kills the person you love without reason. You try to remember something he said to make sense of what he did, but there's nothing there. I don't know what I expected to feel, not victory - none of this could bring Valerie back. I hadn't thought of any future beyond killing Ricky Barnes. They say an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

• Ricky Barnes : Okay, what? Do you want money? I can get you money.

  Denis : I offered you money, remember? It wasn't enough.

• Ricky Barnes : I will give you anything you want.

  Denis : You can't give me what I want.
