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.

• Paul Spector : Why are you in this place? Don't tell me if you don't want to.

  Mark Bailey : I twisted my sister's arm. I twisted it so far round it broke.

  Paul Spector : Why did you do that?

  Mark Bailey : I had a haircut. It gave me a new personality. It made me more feminine. I thought I was turning homosexual. When I came home, my sister said I looked gay. So I twisted her arm. She was screaming and I didn't stop. Then it snapped. Then I suppose I panicked.

  Paul Spector : How old was she?

  Mark Bailey : Younger than me.

  Paul Spector : How much younger?

  Mark Bailey : Quite a lot younger.

  Paul Spector : What's your diagnosis?

  Mark Bailey : A psychotic with convulsive disorder. They say I had childhood schizophrenia. I thought there were hidden messages in the colors of cars passing on the street. I started communicating with car sounds. And then the sounds turned into voices.

  Paul Spector : What kind of voices?

  Mark Bailey : Like people, but just out of hearing. When I'm bad, I see faces in the mirror. The risperidone helps.

  Paul Spector : How long have you been in this place?

  Mark Bailey : Five years. I was on the news, but not like you.

• 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 mother's death]  All that day, people came and went and nobody told me what had happened. Then later someone said that she'd "gone to a better place." I suppose I knew she was dead, but there was a part of me that thought maybe she was alive living elsewhere in a better place, because I wasn't there. The last memory I have of her, she was very angry with me, angry for something I'd done. I don't know what.

• 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.

• [last lines] 

  Healy : Who the fuck is David Alvarez?

  Paul Spector : Just as they've said, someone I knew when I was a child and then again in London in 2002.

  Healy : A convicted murderer?

  Paul Spector : Yes.

  Wallace : [entering]  What is going on?

  Paul Spector : The police have been clever. They have something on me that I can actually remember.
