Quotes 

• Joanna St. John : You seem a study in contrast, you know. Even your name: Eduardo O'Brian. Are you Mexican or Irish?

  Eduardo O'Brian : Both. My mother was Mexican, my father was Irish.

  Joanna St. John : Aha.

  Eduardo O'Brian : They had two things in common: Catholicism and sex. Neither was enough.

• Joanna St. John : [re newspaper article]  Look at that. "Payoff suspected." You know what they did. They killed him. They murdered him. And then stuffed five thousand dollars in his pocket, and left him lying in the dust like a common criminal.

  Michael Knight : You said your husband was killed because he got too close. Too close to what?

  Joanna St. John : [shakes her head]  I don't know. Arthur worked for the Attorney General's office. He often handled cases he couldn't talk about.

  Michael Knight : Joanna, since this was a federal investigation, maybe you should let the government look into it.

  Joanna St. John : Oh, no. The government, in its infinite wisdom, would pursue this with the ardour and alacrity of a hippopotamus. I need somebody who can function outside the bureaucracy. That's why I called the Foundation.

• Joanna St. John : Well, maybe this will help soothe the pain.

  [hands over slip of paper with numbers scribbled onto it] 

  David Dalton : What's this, your dress size?

  Joanna St. John : The combination to the yacht's safe.

• Joanna St. John : I don't know anything about you, I don't, I don't know what your life was like, how you grew up. I know it was hard, I know that. You know, David, whatever happened is... in the past. It's over. I wish you'd trust me a little bit.

  [smiles] 

  Joanna St. John : You don't have to keep fighting wars that ended years ago.
