Slaughterhouse-Five Paul Lazzaro Quotes

Paul Lazzaro

Quote 1

"[Revenge] is the sweetest thing there is," said Lazzaro. "People fuck with me," he said, "and Jesus Christ are they ever f***ing sorry. I laugh like hell. I don't care if it's a guy or a dame. If the President of the United States f***ed around with me, I'd fix him good." (6.3.2)

Lazzaro has his own messed up moral code: if you do him wrong, he'll get revenge. The obvious problem with his code is that he is a nutcase, so he always thinks people are doing him wrong, whether they mean to or not.
