Mike Schmidt (FNaF Movie)

"I just hope you know, that I know your secret. I know all of your secrets. I know what you did to those poor kids. I know that you sent me down to the hellhole because you where scared I was going to expose your secrets. You'd rather see me die a terrible death, than be locked away for what you did. These kids aren't evil, they only want justice. They just want to make sure that people know there pain, and that the a*shole that caused them that pain get's what they had coming to them."
