Bradley White: Arthur Willis

Quotes 

• J'onn J'onzz : Arthur?

  Arthur Willis : [raising his rifle]  Don't move.

  J'onn J'onzz : I'm unarmed.

  Arthur Willis : Who are you?

  J'onn J'onzz : Just someone who wants to talk.

  Arthur Willis : Yeah, well, it's too late for that now. No one wanted to listen to me before, but they are gonna listen to me now. This is the only way for me to be heard.

• J'onn J'onzz : Arthur, if you pull that trigger, no one's gonna listen to a thing you have to say.

  Arthur Willis : They took everything from me! My wife left me because I was always working, then they just kept passing me over for partner. They lied to me!

  J'onn J'onzz : Look, I-I know you feel like they took everything from you, like you got nothing left. Trust me, I know how it feels to lose everything.

  Arthur Willis : They never respected me.

  J'onn J'onzz : You think that gun gives you respect? It has no power. It's just a tool for spreading fear, and fear is not respect.

• J'onn J'onzz : Look, Arthur, I know you've been bullied, but that doesn't give you the right to bully back. You got something loud and ugly there. You think that's gonna make people hear you?

  Arthur Willis : I shot at a cop! My life is over no matter what.

  J'onn J'onzz : Your life doesn't have to end like this. You can go on, you can change, you can... you can begin something new... if you just put down that gun.

  Arthur Willis : No! I need it.

  J'onn J'onzz : You don't need it, Arthur. None of us do. Give me the gun.

  [Arthur whimpers, his resolve faltering] 

  J'onn J'onzz : Come on.

  [he lowers the gun] 

  J'onn J'onzz : That's good. Good man.
