"And people who work together know more about each other than most married couples." "You know, relationships." "What their hopes are." "Secrets." "I'm sorry I-I haven't seen this guy." "I wish I could help you." "John, do you know if lisa was planning a change in her life?" "What kind of change?" "Oh, new job." "New home." "Something to make her happy."

"You're going to wanna see my customer list." "Yeah." "I'd like to see it too." "I can't find it anywhere." "Lisa left the business in such a mess, I don't really know what's what around here." "Okay, john." "Well, you find that list, you send it right over to us, okay?" "Sure thing, detective." "I got your "person of interest."" "well, you watch him." "I wanna know everywhere he goes." "He leaves, you go with him." "Do not lose him." "There may be another trunk out there." "I'm on it, detective." "Everywhere he goes, I go." "You have my solemn vow I will not lose him."
