Guillermo Diaz: Huck

Quotes 

• Huck : Don't do it.

  Peter Nystrom : Excuse me?

  Huck : Wherever you are going after you drop your wife at the hotel, the hardware store, the gun shop, the safe in the back of your closet, don't go there. Don't do it. It's not worth it. He's not worth it. It will feel good for a few seconds, but then it will eat at you for the rest of your life.

  Peter Nystrom : Let me ask you, you got kids?

  Huck : No, sir.

  Peter Nystrom : Yeah. I didn't think so.

• Huck : [at his AA meeting after executing a suspect]  I went out hard, drank a lot of whiskey. I wish I could say I didn't enjoy it, that I felt sick to my stomach, that I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror afterwards. But I can't say that, because it was... It was perfect. And that kind of perfection doesn't make me feel weak, it makes me feel strong. I looked at myself in the mirror, and I finally recognized that person I once knew so well, that person who went out all the time, sometimes just for fun. And now that I've seen that person again, I don't know if I could ever go back.
