Quotes 

• Dr. Larson : Do you know why your mother took her own life?

  Paul Spector : Hmm, because my love wasn't enough for her, enough to keep her alive.

• [first lines] 

  Dr. Larson : [on the phone]  Detective Superintendent Gibson?

  Stella Gibson : Dr Larson, what can I do for you?

  Dr. Larson : Mr Spector's defense team have sent me some excerpts from your diary. The pages where it is alleged Mr Spector made an entry.

  Stella Gibson : [long pause]  I see.

  Dr. Larson : I sense your discomfort. I have no doubt, after seeing the entry he made, knowing that he'd read your journal felt like a violation.

  Stella Gibson : Yes.

  Dr. Larson : May I ask you, how long have you kept a diary?

  Stella Gibson : All of my life. But not really since I've been in Belfast.

  Dr. Larson : I don't follow.

  Stella Gibson : What Spector wrote in was more of a dream journal.

  Dr. Larson : Why do you keep a dream journal?

  Stella Gibson : Why do you want to know?

  Dr. Larson : Curiosity, probably.

  Stella Gibson : Initially, I kept it as an investigative tool. I trained myself to wake up in the middle of the night and write down random thoughts. Then I guess since then, it's become a compulsion, of sorts. So you see dreams as a kind of problem-solving? I think maybe the sleeping brain makes connections more quickly than the waking mind does.

  Dr. Larson : That is certainly possible. I will treat the entries with respect.

• Dr. Larson : Were the break-ins spontaneous, or did you plan?

  Paul Spector : I made extensive, elaborate plans. I discovered that it was easy. For the most part, people feel safe. They forget to turn the alarm on, leave windows open, patio doors. I didn't want anyone to feel safe. Why should they have that luxury?

• Paul Spector : [about his having been a bereavement counselor]  Something morbid in me, I suppose. After my mother died I had this recurring dream. I was lying in a coffin and I was cut up into small chunks. But there was a nerve that ran through every piece that was connected to my brain.

  Dr. Larson : Hm. That sounds very frightening.
