Nice Pete would find a way to murder the Friendly's bathroom.
connellingus makes a good point. This one had always bothered me because... Nice Pete's an escaped fugitive, isn't he? Who's going to say, "Why, Nice Pete hasn't come to work lately, I shall go to his house and see what the matter is!"
But yeah, you don't want to kill a guy that'll go Todd on you later.
Except you can just come back later.
This argument makes no sense.
I lack sleep.

I don't know, I think Ray could totally go pro-ice if Nice Pete was conscious. I mean, the dude stone-cold ripped a guy's jaw off. But beating on a defenseless person, that's just low.

To me the capitalization of seemingly random words in Achewood is a way to show the stressing of words and also their important.

The measure of a man is whether or not he will go all pro ice when he is in a raw situation.
To go all pro ice in a raw situation is to be a coward who would desert a dying man.
To go all pro ice in a raw situation is the merciful thing to do, and favours all.
To finish off a dying man is the very opposite of deserting him.
