Quotes
-
Det. Lydia Adams : Well, what do you want me to do? Put on a little outfit, go out, get drunk, stagger to my car, get raped, and end up here for ten years, waitin' for somebody to do somethin' about it?
Det. Russell Clarke : Jeez, Lyd - take it easy.

Corbin Nelson : ...Is my mom dead?
Det. Russell Clarke : [reaching to turn off the TV] You mind if I turn this off here?... Yeah... she is... I'm really, really sorry.
Corbin Nelson : ...She was a whore.
Det. Russell Clarke : [taken aback by the blunt remark] She was your mom... Look - I know you're always gonna remember this night, how awful it is, but... you can build good memories, too... Y'know, you gotta do that, you gotta focus on that. Try and remember the nice things about her.

Dina Clarke : So what are you doin'? Typin' a letter or somethin'?
Det. Russell Clarke : No, I'm gonna write.
Dina Clarke : You are *so* competitive.
Det. Russell Clarke : Can we not do this right now?
Dina Clarke : But seriously, I write, so now you have to write?
Det. Russell Clarke : Can't we just both write?
Dina Clarke : You and every other cop - everyone thinks they're a writer.
Det. Russell Clarke : You know what, Dina? You're not exactly Dostoyevsky, all right?
Dina Clarke : ...You're screwing that teacher, aren't you?
Det. Russell Clarke : [bewildered by the question] ... No.

Det. Russell Clarke : I think that, uh... she would have wanted you to have that.
[he hands Corbin his mother's cross pendant, and the boy quietly looks at it]
Corbin Nelson : My grandma said you caught the guy.
Det. Russell Clarke : Yeah, we did.
Corbin Nelson : That's good, right?
Det. Russell Clarke : Definitely.
[the boy continues to quietly touch the cross]
