Cristine Rose: Gay Halloran

Quotes 

• Roxanne Melman : [Here in jail, the Jail Guard bring Roxanne to the visitor room to meet someone and sits down]  They told me my attorney was here to see me. Who are you?

  Gay Halloran : My name's Gay Halloran.

  Roxanne Melman : How did you get in here? They only allow lawyers.

  Gay Halloran : I'm a legal secretary at Tecowsky and Goldfarb. I presented our letterhead to the guard. And told them I was a lawyer.

  Roxanne Melman : Why?

  Gay Halloran : Because I want to tell you something about Jimmy Markham that you obviously don't know.

  Roxanne Melman : [scoffs]  You're his wife.

  Gay Halloran : I'm his girlfriend.

  Roxanne Melman : [thrown off guard]  Oh, my God.

  Gay Halloran : I'm who he wants to make a life just as soon as his divorce becomes final. I'm who he reaches for in the middle of the night. Or maybe you thought that was you.

  Roxanne Melman : Something like that.

  Gay Halloran : I read about you in the newspapers this morning, probably with the same dumb expression on my face that you have in yours right now.

  Roxanne Melman : [trembling]  My God. I can't believe this is happening.

  Gay Halloran : Yeah, well, I didn't come here for us to cry on each other's shoulders. I was involved in Jimmy's stock deals, too. The same way the Feds come after you, they gonna come after me. Only I don't want to give back the money I made, I don't want to hire a lawyer, and I don't think you want to spend another night here in jail. So why don't you save us both the trouble and stop protecting him?

  Roxanne Melman : I trusted him. How could he lie to me when I trusted him?

  Gay Halloran : I guarantee you he never lost any sleep over it. So now you're here in jail, I'm expecting a subpoena any minute, and we've both had our hearts stomped on. You stand fast, they come after me, I'm gonna send that bastard up without a second thought. Nothing heals like vengeance.
