Sophie: Listen, you, you don’t have to do this. You know, Nate’s gonna come up with something.
Eliot: I’m losing a fight, Sophie. I’m not diving on a grenade. I’ll be all right.
Sophie: Yeah, I know. I’m not talking physically.
Eliot: I think my ego can handle it.
Sophie: Look, you told me that it’s about control. About knowing that you’re never gonna be the victim. And that’s what keeps you going, right?
Eliot: You think I’m upset ‘cause I gotta let this guy kick my ass? I learned a long time ago you can’t control the violence. I can take the punishment. It’s what I do. What I need to control is not out there. It’s here. Always.

Eliot: Hey, don’t lump these guys in with Rucker, all right? He’s not what this sport’s about.
Sophie: This sport’s about two guys beating the crap out of each other.
Eliot: MMA fighters act with more respect than any other athlete I’ve ever seen.
Sophie: Yeah, they’re Braveheart, I get it.
Eliot: No you don’t. These guys don’t fight because they like hurtin’ other people. They fight to gain some sort of control over their opponents, over their environment, over their lives. Have you seen this town? Huh? The farms are dryin’ up. The only stores are bail bondsmans and pawnshops and there’s nothin’ they can do about it. So, yeah, they get in the ring and try not to let it all suffocate ‘em. And it’s about two guys beatin’ the crap out of each other.

“In the safest, most boring country, the worst lone gunman shooting happens. The worst in the world, in history. But it will not make our country worse. The safe, boring democracy will supply him with a defense lawyer as is his right. He will not get more than 21 years in prison as is the maximum extent of the law. Our democracy does not allow for enough punishment to satisfy my need for revenge, as is its intention. We will not become worse, we will be better. We lived in a land where this is possible, even easy. And we will keep living in a land where this is possible, even easy. We are open, we are free and we are together. We are vulnerable by choice. And we will keep on like that, that’s how we want to live. We will not be worse because of the worst. We must be good because of the best.”
