Argument Quote by Mark Greaney
““Bollocks, Court. That’s not you. With you it’s about doing the right thing, come what may. You’ll do it with an ally, you’ll do it with an enemy, or you’ll do it alone. You’ll die before you go against what you believe in. It makes you the one good man in all this.” “It makes me exploitable, and expendable.” “Too true. No argument there, lad.””
