The Amateur (1981)

John Savage: Charles Heller

Quotes 

• Kaplan : I lost my first wife, my first family. Two beautiful little girls. In the war, in the camps. I thought for a long time the loss would kill me but, I survived.

  Charles Heller : How?

  Kaplan : By creating a ritual to keep me alive. To survive the death of people close to you, you need a ritual. A ritual for revenge is what I made. I thought about it and planned it every waking moment. When I got out I spent three years tracking down the doctor who sent them to the camps.

  Charles Heller : Did you find him?

  Kaplan : I found him, yes.

  Charles Heller : What did... what did you do?

  Kaplan : I created one last ritual. With these hands I strangled him.

  Charles Heller : It didn't bring them back from the dead.

  Kaplan : No, it brought me back from the dead!
