Rory Douglas-Speed: Joel Dexter

Quotes 

• Warren Fox : Oi! Where did you kip last night?

  Joel Dexter (II) : At the seminary. Didn't fancy getting thrown around the flat after yesterday.

  Warren Fox : Yeah? Well you're lucky I've got bigger fish to fry. Bart knows something about Shane.

  Joel Dexter (II) : Bart? What makes you say that?

  Warren Fox : I went round to his place yesterday. Goldie gave me an address. He says he doesn't know where Shane is, so I've given him 24 hours to find out. He's had 12.

  Joel Dexter (II) : You're going back now?

  Warren Fox : Bit of fear of God might help.

  Joel Dexter (II) : Bart's a no-hoper, he only lies to protect himself and to protect Shane.

  Warren Fox : He lies to me, and it'll be the last thing he ever does. Trust me.

• Warren Fox : I don't believe you.

  Joel Dexter (II) : If you went to church once in a while, I'll happily introduce you.

  Warren Fox : What with a load of druggies? No thanks. And maybe you have got a flock of junkies, but I doubt that they go into that much detail. What was that stuff you said? I suppose they told you about that in confession as well. It sounded to me that you were talking from experience. I saw that look in your eyes when Cleo was lying there. You know you disappear out of my life for years Joel, and you come back spreading the Good Word?

  [Joel walks away] 

  Warren Fox : Come back here!

  [Joel stops and turns around] 

  Warren Fox : You stand still when I'm talking to you. What's going on?

  Joel Dexter (II) : I - I had problems.

  Warren Fox : What kind of problems? With drugs?

  Joel Dexter (II) : I - I got better. I got myself better!

  Warren Fox : And you are telling me this now?

  Joel Dexter (II) : Well you were in prison!

  Warren Fox : When was this? Was this when you were hanging around with Katy?

  Joel Dexter (II) : I - I tried... to get her off of it.

  [Warren inhales] 

  Joel Dexter (II) : We tried together but she was too far gone.

  Warren Fox : [Warren shoves Joel against the wall]  Huh, who gave them to her?

  Joel Dexter (II) : I wasn't there when it happened...

  Warren Fox : [shouts]  Who was?

  Joel Dexter (II) : I dunno... Me, Bart and Katy were hanging around together.

  Warren Fox : You know, don't you?

  [shouts] 

  Warren Fox : Tell me! It must have been... It was McQueen, wasn't it?

  Joel Dexter (II) : [Shakes his head weakly]  Dad...

  Warren Fox : Did Bart McQueen give Katy the drugs that killed her?

  [shouts] 

  Warren Fox : Joel!

  Joel Dexter (II) : [Scared]  Yes!
