Vedha
- Vedha: Can I tell you a story sir?
- Vikram: The silence is too deafening, huh?
- Vedha: You look really smart when you smile, sir.
- Vikram: But you will look very pathetic if you smile without your front teeth! Don't laugh. Camera is switched off... I'll smash you! Just my arm will swell up a bit... nothing much!
- Vedha: Sir, will you treat your guest this way? Vedha no violence sir!
- Vikram: Why did you surrender?
- Vedha: Just wanted to tell you a story, sir. My own story sir!
- Vikram: Your kind of guys just have one story, right? I was down and out... like a mongrel on the mean streets. Did this and that... and grew to be a big man. It's that story, right?
- Vedha: Wow! How did you do it sir? Did you watch my whole life unfurl in my own eyes?
- Vikram: Can I tell you something about yourself? If I give you 10 crores today in exchange for you quitting your profession you will refuse the offer and walk out. Only to go home and plot a way to grab the money from me! That's you!
- Vedha: The same 10 crores, if I give you in exchange for letting me go... Will you let me go sir? You will just send me away and plot to encounter me! That's you, right?
- Vikram: Hah, good one!
- Vedha: However, you see it, we are both one and the same!
- Vikram: How will having just a tail make a cat and mouse the same?
- Vedha: Sir, the cat has value only till there's rat problem in the house!
- Vikram: But this mouse surrendered fearing the cat, right?
- Vedha: But, will any mouse voluntarily walk into a trap?
- Vikram: That's right. We're not talking about some simple mouse here, it's actually a bandicoot who has murdered 16!
- Vedha: You are not such a simple cat yourself, sir. A cop cat who has encountered 15!
- Vikram: 18.
- Vedha: Sir, that last encounter... you killed the guys? OK sir. You are in the lead. Killed 18; Killed 16... Convinced?
- Vikram: Nah... Criminal! Police... I'm on the right side of line; you on the other.
- Vedha: OK sir, I accept. I'm the bad guy; you're the good one. But to project yourself as a good man, you do need a bad man like me!
