- Detective Marty Hart: A man's game charges a man's price. Take that away from this, if nothing else.
- Detective Rust Cohle: [Charmaine is sobbing] The newspapers are gonna be hard on you. And prison is very, very hard on people who hurt kids. If you get the opportunity, you should kill yourself.
- Charmaine Boudreaux: What?
- [continues crying]
- Charmaine Boudreaux: [Rust gets up and begins to leave the room] What? Please.
- Maggie Hart: Rust was an intense man, but he had integrity. He was responsible. Not a lot of responsible people in the world.
- Detective Rust Cohle: I quit.
- Major Leroy Salter: You serious?
- Detective Rust Cohle: I'll send you a letter. Yeah. Fuck this. Fuck this world. Nice hook, Marty.
- Detective Rust Cohle: Thought maybe we should talk.
- Detective Marty Hart: Yeah?
- Detective Rust Cohle: Buy you a beer?
- Detective Marty Hart: Sure. I'll follow you.
- Detective Rust Cohle: Actually, why don't you buy me a beer?
- Maggie Hart: Rust knew exactly who he was, and there was no talking him out of it. Marty's single big problem was that he never really knew himself, so he never really knew what to want.
- Maggie Hart: I slept with someone... And you know him... You're close.
- Detective Marty Hart: Who?
- Maggie Hart: It was Rust... I fucked your partner Rust.
- Detective Marty Hart: [Scoffs] Oh... Now, what-what are you saying?... What - what are you - what the fuck are you saying to me?
- Maggie Hart: I already told you.
- Detective Marty Hart: You fucking whore.
- Maggie Hart: You don't know the half of it... To tell you the truth, I haven't been fucked like that since before the girls.
- Detective Rust Cohle: You see, sometimes people... mistake a child as an answer for something, you know, like a way to change their story.
- Terry Guidry: We didn't sleep them first 4 weeks Sonny was missing. Drove his mama crazy.
- [Voice trembling]
- Terry Guidry: Sh-she... She thought she heard him under the water...
- [Whispers]
- Terry Guidry: calling for her.
- [Sniffles]
- Terry Guidry: Hey, man, look. Why don't you just get out of here, please? I don't want to get arrested. Just - just get... before I do something to you.
- Detective Rust Cohle: [Charmaine is sobbing] The newspapers are gonna be tough on you. And prison is very, very hard on people who hurt kids. If you get the opportunity, you should kill yourself.
- Charmaine Boudreaux: What?
- [continues crying]
- Charmaine Boudreaux: [Rust gets up and begins to leave the room] What? Please.
- Detective Rust Cohle: The newspapers are going to be tough on you and prison is very hard on people who hurt kids. If you get the opportunity you should kill yourself.
