It wasn't just that you saved them and I didn't, it was when I heard all that happened, I realized that even if I'd been there with you, they would have died.

Why didn't they cut her up? Why just Stevie? Why that? Why did they take that? Why that? If I'd had a dart gun full of Valium, I'd have used it. How did I argue in court that I knew how strong a vampire was and how fragile the human body could be? And call it a hunch, but I figured once I shot Primo, I had to kill him. It was like hours of really good foreplay all at once. Smith, take his other arm.
