Vicki Buckley : You've killed before!
Jeff Warren : Before? Oh, the war, huh. I'd almost forgot. You thought I could do it because of that, huh? Well, there's a difference. In the war you fire into the darkness... something moving on a ridge, a position, a uniform, an enemy. But a man coming home helpless, drunk... that takes a different kind of killing.
Vicki Buckley : Yes, and a different kind of a man.

Jeff Warren : How do you tell the right girl for you from the wrong one?
