Mayko Nguyen: Alison Sutherland

Quotes 

• Alison Sutherland : What are you doing for dinner?

  Dylan Bennett : No plans. Why?

  Alison Sutherland : Because you're gonna have dinner with me tonight. Me and Lisa-Ann Follows.

  Dylan Bennett : *The* Lisa-Ann Follows?

  Alison Sutherland : Mm-hmm. She's flying up from New York to cover the murders, needs some local experts, and dinner's our audition.

  [he lets out a snickering laugh] 

  Alison Sutherland : You should maybe wear something tighter. Tight.

  Dylan Bennett : I-I can do tight. Yeah, no. Tight's good.

• Lisa-Ann Follows : I was living in L.A. when the Grim Sleeper was killing black women. I have had... mass murderers, wife killers, terrorists, kidnappers. You name it, the dregs of society on my show. Takes a lot to shake me. But these killings scare the shit out of me.

  Alison Sutherland : I know exactly what you're saying. When the original murders took place, it was...

  Lisa-Ann Follows : Your wife's parents were the victims?

  Dylan Bennett : Yeah. Yeah, yeah, they were.

  Lisa-Ann Follows : I can't even imagine.

  Dylan Bennett : Oh, it was terrible.

  Lisa-Ann Follows : Actually, I can, because you did such an incredible job telling Sarah's story, all of these stories, bringing them to life.

  Dylan Bennett : Thank you. Uh, you know, with material like this, i-it kind of writes itself, you know?

  Lisa-Ann Follows : Okay. Dylan... if this is gonna work, you need to drop all of the "gee-golly, aw-shucks" polite crap or I'll eat you up and spit you out like a bad piece of sushi. Do you want that? You don't want that.

  Dylan Bennett : These murders have terrorized this community. The Executioner has acted like judge, jury, and hangman. If we don't give a voice to these people, who will? We owe it to them.

• Dylan Bennett : So let's, uh, bury the water symposium stories as far back in the paper as possible.

  Alison Sutherland : It's an important issue up here.

  Dylan Bennett : [pantomiming weighing the two stories]  Psycho killer is stalking our town's citizens... shoreline water erosion. Yeah, little bit of a toss-up, right?

• Dylan Bennett : I met with Tom Winston.

  Alison Sutherland : Sarah didn't tell me.

  Dylan Bennett : You called Sarah? Are you kidding me?

  Alison Sutherland : No, she came in, with an actual lead on an actual story. One that I wanted you to write, but instead I did my own shit job of it because you wouldn't answer your phone.

  Dylan Bennett : Okay, I'm here. What is it?

  Alison Sutherland : When I hired you, I took a chance. Yeah, you'd written for some major publications, but you have never run a paper, okay? I hope you don't forget that.

  Dylan Bennett : Send me over what you got; I'll get right on it.

• Alison Sutherland : What are you looking for, exactly?

  Sarah Bennett : Well, Sheridan and Market are-are north of here, so a vehicle would pass by here, south, heading towards the hospital, right?

  Alison Sutherland : Probably. It's the most direct route.

  Sarah Bennett : Why did you have CCTV installed outside the paper, anyway?

  Alison Sutherland : You make more enemies than friends in this line of work, especially in a small town.

  Sarah Bennett : [seeing something]  Shit!

  Alison Sutherland : What?

  [seeing June in the ambulance's passenger seat] 

  Alison Sutherland : That lying bitch was with Trent that night.

  Sarah Bennett : She was. That means she's next.

• Alison Sutherland : Where the hell have you been? You leave work. You don't tell me where you're going. You don't answer your phone.

  Dylan Bennett : I was out hunting a story. But if you prefer me sitting at my desk from 9 to 5, we can have that kind of thing...

  Alison Sutherland : No, I'm asking for some common courtesy.

  Dylan Bennett : Yeah, and I'm asking for the same, 'cause I don't really appreciate being made to feel like a teenager cutting class.
