there's this scene from Casablanca that reminds me of another hero who has become jaded and cynical:
ILSA For the last time, put that cash stash to work.
SHIKAGO If the NBBA and the cause mean so much to you, you won't stop at anything. All right, I'll make it easier for you. . . Go ahead and shoot. You'll be doing me a favor.
ILSA Shikago, I tried to stay away. I thought I would never see you again, that you were out of my league. . . The day you left, if you knew what I went through! If you knew how much I loved you, how much I still love you!
