"There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the
righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish
and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity
and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness.
For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger
those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know
I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. I been sayin' that shit
for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really
questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to
say to a motherfucker before you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw
some shit this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin': it could
mean you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here,
he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of
darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd
and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that
shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny
of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a
shepherd. -Jules 'Pulp Fiction'
