"What's wrong with you?" "It's not a sailboat." "That's what I thought." "There's no trick to it." "That's the front, that's the back, water all around." "Why you gotta make things so complicated?" "Thanks." "I don't." "Things get complicated all by themselves." "You mean Amanda Hunsaker's murder, huh?" "Did I mention that?" "I didn't." "Didn't have to." "I can read your mind." "What's the matter with you?" "Why is there a problem?" "There's no problem." "You got one dead girl, one dead guy." "The guy kills the girl." "We kill him because he wants us to be dead guys." "That's easy for you to say." "A sugar daddy is dealing drugs." "She said, did or saw something she wasn't supposed to." "He pitches her off the balcony into the sweet by-and-by." "That's why he came at us with a shotgun today." "I'm sorry. lt's just a little too easy, too neat. I can't swallow it." "Of course it's neat." "What's wrong with neat?" "I like neat." "By neat, you mean simple." "You okay?" "Watch out!" "What button did you push?" "What you doing?" "Where's my manual?" "is this what you're looking for, captain?" "You asshole!"

"She smoked pot in the house." "She's grounded." "Why can I have a beer, and I can't smoke a joint?" "It's not coke." "I'll tell you why." "Because now, at this moment beer is legal, grass ain't." "Right or wrong?" "It's wrong." "Right." "They sit there drinking six-packs, and I get grounded." "I'm gonna go home." "Did we resolve anything here tonight?" "Yeah, we resolved plenty." "We resolved that your wife takes out the garbage your daughter smokes grass and it's illegal and you don't know a lot about boats." "You got a hell of a nice family there." "Thank you." "I enjoyed the meal." "Thanks a lot." "Bullshit." "But thanks anyway." "You don't trust me, do you?" "I tell you what." "You make it through tomorrow without killing anybody especially me or yourself, then I'll start trusting you." "Fair enough." "I do it real good." "Do what?" "When I was 19, I did a guy in Laos from 1000 yards out." "A rifle shot in high wind." "Maybe eight or even 10 guys in the world could've made that shot." "It's the only thing I was ever good at."

"This is cute." "What have we got here?" ""Police evidence."" "Here's Amanda." "Don't be shy." "Morning, Roger." "Here, have some coffee." "I've been doing a lot of thinking about the night Amanda Hunsaker died." "How'd you get in?" "Trish let me in." "What time is it?" "Daytime." "The night Amanda Hunsaker died, she" "What was the name of that hooker who witnessed the jump?" "Come on, we gotta get up and catch bad guys today." "Be real policemen." "I'll get a shower." "What was the name of the hooker that witnessed the jump?" "Century City isn't her usual turf." "Her name is Dixie!" "Give me that cup." "And get out of here!" "Someone was in bed with Amanda the night she died." "Up till now, we assumed it was a man." "Suppose it was Dixie." "Disgusting, but okay." "Let's say Dixie put the drain cleaner in her pills." "Say someone paid her to do it." "Sure." "She thinks, "Amanda swallows a couple of downers and she's dead."" "Then Dixie-- lf it was her." "If it was her." "She's got plenty of time to spritz the place up and get out." "Except Amanda jumps out the window." "Or Dixie pushes her." "Either way." "She has to make a quick exit because the body's public." "So she hauls ass downstairs." "People are saying, "What happened?"" "Somebody spots her, and she says, "Shit!"" "That's right, she stops and says, "Shit!"" "The point being that now she has to cover her ass." "That's right." "So she grabs the nearest flatfoot and says, "Officer, I saw the whole thing."" "Right." "That's pretty fucking thin." "That's very thin." "Thin's my middle name." "Your wife's cooking, I'm not surprised." "What?" "Nothing." "Those remarks won't get you invited to Christmas dinner." "My luck's changing for the better every day." "All right, baby, come to Roger." "Center mass." "Center mass." "Read them and weep." "You sleep with that thing under your pillow?" "I would if I slept." "Step back, baby." "Let me show what an old man can do." "Just warming up, just warming up." "Watch carefully." "Hey!" "Look at that, will you?" "Not bad for an old man." "Step aside, old man." "Have a nice day." "Shit!" "Uh-oh!" "The policemen are here!" "Yeah, you're right." "Hello, policemen!" "How you doing?" "Fine." "Are you gonna bust Dixie?"
