- Fanny: I've lost the only thing I care about.
- John Amsterdam: Your honor.
- Fanny: You. I saved myself for you.
- Dr. Sara Dillane: Marriage. It's hard.
- John Amsterdam: Yeah. Well... I've got the scars to prove it.
- Dr. Sara Dillane: Speaking of which, you want to tell me about the ones you have? The one above your heart, for example?

- Dr. Sara Dillane: A sword. What about your shoulder?
- John Amsterdam: A bullet hole.
- Dr. Sara Dillane: Stomach?
- John Amsterdam: Shotgun blast.
- Dr. Sara Dillane: Arm?
- John Amsterdam: Gardening accident. Nah, I didn't want to bore you. It was another sword. Or, more like a dagger really.

- John Amsterdam: How many times have you been married?
- Omar: Enough to know it's supposed to be forever. I'm just saying, maybe she aint the girl of your dreams.
- John Amsterdam: Hm. It's my dream. Okay?
- John Amsterdam: Take honor from me and my life is done. Honor. A word we almost never hear anymore Thirty-Six. Not in America. It used to mean virtue, nobility. Now, it's become just another reason to kill. Maybe it was always that way.

- John Amsterdam: Really?
- Amartya Vikram: I wish I felt that way today.
