- Lucian Knapp: [Answering the phone] Yeah.
- Latimer King: I may have something.
- Lucian Knapp: Yeah? Me, too. You first. Mine's better.
- Lucian Knapp: Can I have everyone's attention, please? Nobody gets in Turner's way. If she comes to me with a complaint about any of you, be it, uh, professional interference to carnal impropriety to just plain old bad breath, I'm going to be disappointed; and, for those of you who don't know - "disappointed" is crazy for "I'm going to punch you." That's it. Thanks for listening.
- Andy Archer: Well, you know, Internal Affairs comes right before the cockroach on the evolutionary scale.
- Lucian Knapp: All right, Mr. Cain, tell me again why Leopold had a bodyguard.
- Conrad Cain: I've told you. There were threats.
- Lucian Knapp: Well, what kind of threats?
- Conrad Cain: Well, you've read my hate mail.
- Lucian Knapp: Yeah, but none of those threats were directed specifically at your son.
- Conrad Cain: Yeah, okay, but you gotta understand...
- [a chopper whirs overhead]
- Conrad Cain: This is getting to be... All right, listen, you have to understand about Leopold. He... He has a very active, uh, you know, imagination.
- Ellie Cain: A year ago...
- Conrad Cain: No, El...
- Ellie Cain: [louder] A year ago, Leo came home from school and he was upset.
- Lucian Knapp: Upset about what?
- Ellie Cain: This man... this man he met in Central Park.
- Conrad Cain: Who?
- Ellie Cain: I don't know.
- Conrad Cain: He was probably just like, you know, a homeless guy.
- Ellie Cain: He called him Joseph. I think it was after a book, maybe. I'm not sure.
- Lucian Knapp: What... what happened?
- Conrad Cain: Nothing happened! It's Central Park. They let anyone in.
- Ellie Cain: What if he was real?
- Conrad Cain: It's crazy! He wasn't real!
- Lucian Knapp: Then why'd you get him a bodyguard?
- Ellie Cain: He didn't. I did.
- Lucian Knapp: Why?
- Ellie Cain: Because he said he was coming for him.
- Larry Kellogg: You look like hell.
- Lucian Knapp: Yeah? Well, must be all the freedom. I don't know what to do with it.
- Virgil Hayes: I came to tell you that there's a line and I'm going to cross it, and when I get to the other side, you do not want to be there.
- Conrad Cain: All my life, I have been able to picture the things I wanted - I would see something in my mind's eye, and I would keep it there frozen, you know, like a snapshot - and... and then I would do whatever it took to make that picture real, and then I'd, you know, move on to the next thing; but, with Leo... I can see him... coming home like he's ten minutes late for dinner or something, and... I mean, I can... I can see it so... clearly, and I want it so bad... you know, but I... I mean, I... I-I can't think of a damn thing that... that I... that I could possibly do to make that picture real.
