It's all relative

     "I told you that you were taking this job too seriously."

    "It's a fault. People pay me for a job, I have to do it. Boone Silva felt the same way."

    "Boone? What happened to Boone?"

    "You wasted your money, Lang. He just wasn't the man for the job."

    "I was told he was the fastest - "

    "That's what he thought, Lang. But fast is relative, you know. Maybe he was a right fast man where he came from, but this here's a big country."
