"Fucker caught me dead to rights, coming out of Blackstone's ride." "The thing that fucking worries me is, how did he know to come out?" "They've got some kind of surveillance system." "Now, if they do, it'd have to be pretty high-tech, because I looked and didn't see dick, which doesn't rule out the possibility." "If you're gonna be sick again, we should hold off on getting back in the car." "So, the guy comes out of the massage place, then what happened?" "Then his problems began." "Don't!"

"If he'd had a piece and pulled it and started shooting, he might've gotten somewhere, but there he was with a can of table spice." "Meantime, I had this, called a sunket."

"Fucking Blackstone just pops right out the door like the guy had signaled him." "He saw you?" "He probably saw something." "I could see him, but it was still pretty dark where I was." "He had something in his hand." "Might have been a phone or a gun." "My vision was still a bit fucked up from the spray." "The only thing I could be sure of..." "I didn't want him getting any closer." "That's when I put one in his chest." "You shot him?" "I was 30 seconds into a compromised situation, Doc." "The last thing I needed was sound." "You've seen me throw a blade." "Oh..." "What?" "So, you killed him?" "Well, he took a kill shot, for sure." "[ Gasping ]" "It wasn't that bad, really, you think about it."

"And after that, you improvise." "So, a guy died tonight." "For that, for what you basically say is nothing." "Two guys if you count Blackstone." "Well, I thought you said that..." "I said it was hard to say." "I said my vision was compromised." "Okay." "So, one man, two men, one's a cop." "You know, once you start killing people," "I guess numbers are just academic." "This is emotion talking, Doc." "You're scared, dumping adrenaline." "With enough time, I could teach you to work through that, deal with it." "You could also go fuck yourself." "Do you want Blackstone to be alive?" "[ Sighs ] No." "Yes." "I..." "No." "I want him dead." "I don't want us to have killed him." "If he's dead, mission complete." "If he's alive, he'd be in the hospital." "Right." "If he's in the hospital, he's not home." "Fuckin' A." "We could get in there, have a look around."

"They've been trying to make up their mind whether or not to call, and finally felt like they had to." "I've never even heard her mention someone named John." "And how long have they been going out together?" "Does that matter?" "Would it make it better if it was like two years instead of five months?" "What..." "They've been dating for five months?"

"I just never thought I would find out like this." "Yeah." "Me, neither." "You know, we don't even know for sure what this is." "It's this boy's parents telling us that our daughter is a stalker." "Oh, come on, Christina." "These kids text each other all day long." "You know that." "Okay, maybe, but then what about all the times she went for a run by his house, after he asked her not to, after he broke up with her?" "Did you talk to Nicole?" "[ Scoffs ]" "What'd she say?"

"His mom had seven miscarriages before she had John, so and his dad are hyper-focused on him." "Miracle baby." "And he's great, but he's also super-dramatic about everything." "When he's in love, he's totally in love." "And then, when it's over and you want to try to still be friends with him, that means you're obsessed and you can't let go." "Right." "Until he gets confused and thinks he might still like you." "Then he's gonna ask you to come by when he's supposed to be studying, and then, when his parents get mad about why he got a "D" in Chem..." "Then they blame you for distracting him."
