Bartemius Crouch... The notorious Ministry official... The bastard who threw me into hell without a trial... The one I would kill.

If I'd gotten a trial, would I be in here? Maybe, but with a lesser sentence. It was all Pettigrew! What did I do?

You did plenty. Maybe if you've been the Secret Keeper, then Lily and James might be alive with Harry.

No. It wasn't me. It was Pettigrew... and Crouch. They're the wrong ones. I'm the victim.

... You would've been, except it was your fault.

Shut up.

Sorry.

Soliloquizing. First sign of insanity.
