‘It wont do any good to kill him,’ Malloy said. ‘It would have done Berry some good.’ ‘No, it wouldn't. Berry was slated for it from the day he was born in a shack down on the wrong side of the tracks...’ (J. Jones, ‘From Here to Eternity’, ch. XLIII) — - Бессмысленно убивать Фэтсо, - заметил Мэллой. - Я убью его, чтобы отомстить за Берри. - Берри тут ни при чем.
