I you know, I don't want there to be any hard feelings between us, Harvey. When you had that job, Rachel, or being abducted, I was sitting in Gordon's cage.

No, I didn't rig those charges. You're man, you're plan. Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars.

I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it. You know, I just do things. The mob has plans, the cops have plans, Gordon's got plans.

You know, they're schemers, schemers trying to control their little worlds. I'm not a schemer. I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are.

So when I say, yeah, when I say that you and your girlfriend was nothing personal, you'll know that I'm telling the truth.

I'm gonna need your weapon. Why? Because my wife's in the hospital. Yeah, that'd be why. It's the schemers that put you where you are.

You were a schemer, you had plans, and look where that got you. We've, of course, taken every possible precaution hurt everyone not to take matters into their own hands.

I just did what I do best. I took your little plan, I turned it on itself.

Look what I did to this city with a few drums of gas and a couple of bullets. Hmm, you you know what I noticed nobody panics when things go according to plan, even if the plan is horrifying.

If tomorrow I tell the press that like a gangbanger will get shot or a truckload of soldiers will be blowing up, nobody panics because it's all part of the plan.

But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well, they never loses their minds. Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos.

I'm an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair.
