Grandpa Max and Ben Tennyson in “Absolute Power Part 1 & 2”

Kevin's a menace. Your friendship aside, the only responsible move is to take him down with all necessary force.

Then I don't understand why you're talking to me.

It's the logical move. It's the safest move. It's the sensible move.

But?

It's not the Ben move. You trust people, you give them second chances, and they live up to your expectations. Kevin was a sociopath when you were kids, but you trusted him anyway.

Look how that worked out.

He's turned into a fine young man - a hero a dozen times over.

But now he's a monster.

True - and I'd put him down like a mad dog - but I never thought YOU would. You always find another way.
