Jack and Oswald in “Dead of Night”

Jack

I saw you on television, saying you feel forgiven for taking the life of a child. That's a lie. I know that's a lie.

Oswald

How do you know that, Jack, with such certainty—

Jack

Tell the truth! The murder of Susie Cabina. You don't feel sorry at all.

Oswald

The truth is, she flaunted it. Her innocence. Most people, they get hit, whatever - it's hours before the bruises rise up. But they showed right away with her, and it was like... I was painting on her. And she looked so beautiful, I thought it couldn't get any better than that, but... oh, Jack, I swear to you... right then, at the end, I felt her life leave, and she left through me. You know that feeling? I think you do. And I relive it, every single night, because that was the best moment of my life.

Jack

Now I understand. You're doing all this because you're searching for one thing. One simple thing. Execution. We're without death, so you get to live. And it's killing you.
