Doing things Quote by Kinley MacGregor
““Kill him? (Jake) Confront him. (Morgan) Since when do you take the sissy way out? (Jake) Excuse me? (Morgan) Face it, Drake, that good English breeding of yours is showing itself. Talking ain’t a man’s way of doing things. You know that. You got a problem, you cut its heart out and then it’s not a problem anymore. (Jake)””
