Quotes 

• Joseph Hannah : [showing the newspaper]  This show is Broadway Teflon. Ticket sales have doubled since the murder.

  Alexandra Eames : Never underestimate the public's appetite for blood.

• Robert Goren : Did he ever ask you to sabotage Marc's rig?

  Donald Cogan : No. But when Marc fell... I knew Evan was gonna cash in.

  Alexandra Eames : [being ironic]  And they say there's no creativity in the theater these days.

• Brice Calder : You're asking if I had anything to do with him getting killed?

  Robert Goren : Did you? You know, Marc out of the way, you put on the wings, and you're Icarus.

  Brice Calder : That's a little All about Eve-ish. Don't you think?

  Robert Goren : You're telling me that you didn't resent him at all? A tv actor with no theater chops gets the role over you. I mean, you were nominated for an Obie.

  Brice Calder : You googled me. I'm flattered.

  Alexandra Eames : Had to sting... night after night, seeing a sitcom star mangle the part.

  Brice Calder : That's how the business works. They want a name. Yeah, well, I have a name. It's Brice Calder.

  Robert Goren : [as they were shaking hands]  Detective Goren.

• Alexandra Eames : So maybe now's the time to tell you we have security footage of you in the Premier Club elevator kissing Marc Landry.

  Robert Goren : [being ironic]  You know, he really could have been just giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

  Attorney Pamela Albert : Are they making this up, Adam?

  Adam Winter : Okay... There was a couple of times he invited me up to his apartment... Work on his performance.

  Robert Goren : Right, but isn't that the director's job?

  Adam Winter : He hated Amanda, and she hated him.

  Alexandra Eames : So you were the peacemaker.

  Adam Winter : Yes. Marc was just trying to get me on his side. I mean, you got to love actors. I mean, they're people pleasers.

  Robert Goren : [being ironic]  I know. I know.

• Joseph Hannah : The producer wanted his own star killed.

  Robert Goren : It was the only way to stop the bleeding, and he had someone on the inside to do the job.

  Joseph Hannah : How do you prove it?

  Alexandra Eames : With the help of some egomaniacs with inferiority complexes.

• Adam Winter : Amanda blamed everyone and everything, okay? She even had a problem with the songs.

  Robert Goren : You disagreed?

  Adam Winter : Well, being as I wrote them, yeah. You familiar with my work, detective?

  Robert Goren : [hesitating]  Oh, uh...

  Alexandra Eames : [interrupting Goren]  He's more of a jazz guy.

• Robert Goren : Greek mythology seems to be a reoccurring theme in your work. Your three movies, your last musical, Pandora.

  Adam Winter : Yes, I'm drawn to the classic stories... how human nature endures.

  Robert Goren : Right. And the labyrinth... Well, it's part of the Icarus story. Daedalus... he builds the labyrinth to imprison...

  Adam Winter : The minotaur.

  Robert Goren : [looking at a picture of a circular labyrinth on the wall]  Minotaur. Right. I like the way you... Well, your representation of it onstage.

  Adam Winter : Thank you. Yes, the... the labyrinth represents a journey of discovery, a pilgrimage to the truth.

  Alexandra Eames : Our job in a nutshell.

• Robert Goren : [coming close]  Come on, Evan. It was a barn burner of a disaster, right? A catastrophe, a money-sucking catastrophe. I think... A career-ender.

  Evan Korman : How dare you?

  Robert Goren : [ponting to a portrait on the wall]  You know, it must have been tough, your father looking over your shoulders every day. And now he's looking down on you from the great white way in the sky, and he's thinking, "I fathered... an entitled embarrassment."

  Evan Korman : All productions have problems.

  Alexandra Eames : [sarcastic]  Not front-page headlines in the Daily News every day. You're the laughingstock of Broadway.
