Gordon-Gordon: How many people have you killed? 

Booth: I lost count. 

Gordon-Gordon: Oh, you could remember 180 bricks but not how many lives you’ve taken? 

Booth: Epps makes fifty. 

Gordon-Gordon: Fifty what? 

Booth: Fifty kills. 

Gordon-Gordon: But Agent Booth, you didn’t kill Epps! You tried to save him, remember? Perhaps I better put it as a question; did Howard Epps slip from your grasp or did you release him? Oh, come now man, this is a simple enough question. Was he indeed your fiftieth kill or did you just happen to be there when he died? 

Booth: I - I don’t know. 

Gordon-Gordon: A man like you? In control of every situation and you don’t know? 

Booth: I don’t know…I had him and then I lost him and something happened in between. I don’t know. 

Gordon-Gordon: I believe you. Because for a man like you to admit you don’t know, to relinquish control, that could indeed argue a disruption in yourself - that was large enough to motivate you to shoot a clown.

I love this snene!! Booth is so sad and vulnerable, it’s heartcrushing.. We don’t get to see him like this very often, but every time we do, he ever fails to get to me..

Btw I’ve missed Gordon-Gordon.. Him being on the show is a promise for epic snenes..
