“Payback is if a person stabs you, then you do the same thing. If I stabbed her then she’ll stab me, fifty-to-fifty. Like if I had sex with her husband then she will do the same thing with my husband.”
​
“The payback is a broken one. You’ll be the enemy forever and ever until you die. I can feel that. I can see that. It’s a broken one.”
