Rusty Sabich: Next time you talk to him, tell him to call me so I can find out what's going on in my own fucking investigation. Painless, you tell Molto, and you tell Nico, too, that this is cheap, cheap politics. Cheap Police Department bullshit. God better help them and help you, too, if I can't make a case for tampering.
Barbara Sabich: You're still in love with her.
Rusty Sabich: It was never love.
Barbara Sabich: Then what was it?
Rusty Sabich: It was never love.
Rusty Sabich: The jury is going to remember Caroline tortured to death. They'll want someone to pay for the crime.
Rusty Sabich: Don't eat standing up. Sit down.

Barbara Sabich: Oh, God. We've got another lawyer.
Rusty Sabich: I'm going to need a lawyer, a very, very good lawyer, an expensive lawyer. It could break us.
