The Rover Quotes
Eric: You should never stop thinking about a life you've taken. That's the price you pay for taking it.
Movie: The Rover
Rey: 'Cause I believe in God and I know Henry believes in God. There's no harm Henry would want to see me come to. I believe in that.
Eric: Look at the harm you've come to and where is Henry?
Rey: He's waiting for me.
Eric: He's not waiting for you.
Rey: Yes, he is.
Eric: No, he's not. I'll tell you what God's given you. He's put a bullet in you and he's abandoned you out here to me. He feels nothing for you. He couldn't give a fuck if you died tomorrow. God gave you a brother who's not waiting for you. He gave you a brother who's not even thinking about you right now. Just 'cause you and him came out of the same woman's hole... The only thing that means anything right now is that I'm here and he's not. Your brother left you to die. That's what people do. You don't learn to fight, your death's going to come real soon.

Movie: The Rover
Eric: I murdered my wife. I watched him put his fingers inside her and I killed 'em both. No one ever came after me. Ten years ago. I never had to explain myself. I never had to lie to anyone. I never had to run and hide. I just buried 'em in a hole and I went home. No one ever came after me. And that hurt me more than getting my heart broken. Knowing it didn't matter. Knowing you can do something like that and no one comes after you. You do a thing like I did, that should really mean something. But it just doesn't matter anymore.

Eric: [tied up]I know that.
Soldier 1: That's good that you know that.
Eric: Do you know it, too?
Soldier 1: Oh, I know it, champ. I told you it.
Eric: Do you know it's over for you, too? Whatever you think's over for me was over a long time ago. I'm asking about you.

Eric: Why don't you just shoot me? Why don't you do it? That's what everyone else is doing.
Soldier 1: Because me sending you to Sydney tells Sydney there's a reason to keep paying us what they pay us. If we just shot every idiot we wanted to shoot, then pretty soon they'd start to wonder what the fuck we're doing out here. See, personally I don't care about you. I don't care if you get to Sydney and they let you off or you bribe your way out or whatever the fuck they do down there these days. I don't give a fuck. I'm doing this for me.
