"When the devil grew old he joined a convent" is an idiom in my language. It seems fitting for Carter.

Does this really need to be explained?

It's saying Carter led and evil life and now that he has grown old he is seeking redemption, personally I think he was a pretty good dude.

I know rawdogg has tried explaining your idiom. But could you please elaborate on why you find it fitting for Carter?
