  Alan Snyder : Because I'm a pragmatist.

  Vincent : Sometimes pragmatists do terrible things.

  Vincent : Would a moral man betray his friends?

  Alan Snyder : To stop an unspeakable tragedy? Of course.

• Scott Garland : You know, I didn't think you'd actually get it done. You surprised me.

  Alan Snyder : I get that a lot.

• Alan Snyder : I've been in your position, when it feels like there are no good options. But sometimes you just have to be the man who stands in front of the train.
