14 Best Monologues From The Max Payne Video Games

Spoken after a crucial moment at the end of part 2 of the second game. Max takes a dive of a scaffold thanks to the assistance of multiple nine-millimetre handgun rounds.

It can be inferred that the monologue is one big representation and personification of Max's life; it's had some high points, but it has become all too easy for his life to take a dive, destroying all the progress he's made to get where he is, or hopes to be going forward.
