Quote context

[...]

- Tell me, what did he do yesterday that made you so angry?

- It isn't what he did. It's what he didn't do. But we have that straightened out.

- You should be proud of Gillom. He has the making of something special.

- I hope so.

- I'm going to send Reverend Saunders to see you tomorrow.

- No, thank you.

- Maybe it'll make it easier for you.

- No.

- Just for a few minutes.

- I'm tired of people pawing over my death, for this reason or that or for any reason.

- A man's death is about the most private thing in his life. It doesn't belong to Dobkins or Reverend Saunders, or Thibido or you. It's mine.

- I suppose that's true of your soul, too.

- My soul is what I've already made of it.

- You reprimand me for making judgments with a gun barrel poked in my face, but it's all right for you to judge me on hearsay.

- But the hearsay fits.

- Maybe I'm better than you've already decided. Maybe I'm no worse than that good reverend you're always bragging about.

- Maybe you just like being a gunman. Oh, I suppose you prefer the word shootist.
