“Il comprend une chose essentielle, c'est qu'il y a deux espèces de gens : ceux qu'on peut battre et ceux qu'on ne peut pas battre, et ceux qu'on ne peut pas battre, ce n'est pas qu'ils sont plus forts ou mieux entraînés, mais qu'ils sont prêts à tuer. C'est cela, le secret, le seul, et le gentil Edouard décide de passer dans le second camp : il sera un homme qu'on ne frappe pas parce qu'on sait qu'il peut tuer.”
