[The truly ironic part is that Cassel is telling him all this freely, and it doesn't change a thing: Slevin stores it away, of course he does, but he can't really believe him. He also can't say it changes anything he ever intended to do or not do. Cassel is what he always was; Slevin is who he always was, too.]
I take advantage of a lot of things when I want to, not just what's easy. [He hasn't known Cassel long enough to be able to say he's self-destructive, that he moves in cycles, whether he's really changed or not; there are certainly changes in the young man speaking to him now and the one Slevin's seen speaking on the network in the past, but time can do that. Surfaces change all the time, and only time can dig deeper than that. He tilts his head.]
