Abby Taylor: Have you had much experience with people like Mr. Genest?
Jesse Stone: People in South Central L.A. would keep Joe Genest for a pet.
Abby Taylor: Jesse, what's going in with you and Joe Genest? No shrugging. I asked you a question, and I expect an answer. Are you afraid of him?
Jesse Stone: Joe is stupid and mean, and he doesn't like me. On the other hand, if I had to, I could shoot him just as easy as if he were smart and kind.
Jesse Stone: I don't think I smell like a brewery. I was drinking Scotch.
Abby Taylor: Do you have anything to say on the matter of your assault on Mr. Genest?
Jesse Stone: The restraining order wasn't working. Think of me as implementing it.
Abby Taylor: Do you still love her?
Jesse Stone: I'm not a good basket to put all your eggs in at the moment.
Abby Taylor: Am I too young for you?
Jesse Stone: Is that another way of saying I'm too old for you?
Michelle Genest: You gonna kick me in the nuts?
Jesse Stone: That would be difficult.
Jesse Stone: If you come near this woman again, if anything happens to her, or her kids, no matter what, no matter whose fault it is, I will kick you around this town until you look like roadkill. And if you're annoying, like you were today, I just might shoot you.
Abby Taylor: You really need to take this more seriously.
Jesse Stone: You really need to take this more seriously, Jesse.
Abby Taylor: You really need to take this more seriously, Jesse.
Jesse Stone: No I don't, Abby.
