[showing Mitch photos of himself with a prostitute]
Bill DeVasher: Not just screwing, Mitch. All sorts of intimate acts, oral and whatnot, that can be particularly hard for a trusting wife to forgive and IMPOSSIBLE to forget.
Tommie Morolto: -if only I could get my hands on this kid.
Ruth: I think it's urgent, Mr. Morolto.
Tommie Morolto: Ruth thinks it's urgent, Joey. What do you think?
Ruth: It's a Mr. McDeere. Mr. Mitchell McDerre. He's waiting to see you.
Joey: I think Ruth is right.
Mitch McDeere: You are Agent Wayne Terrance.
Wayne Tarrance: Yeah, you're goddamn right I am, and maybe local cops can't...
[stops as he realizes Mitch has baited him, then answers phone when it rings]
Wayne Tarrance: . Yeah?
Tammy: Is this Wayne Terrance?
Wayne Tarrance: Who is
this?
Tammy: Is this Wayne Terrance?
Wayne Tarrance: Yeah, this is Wayne Terrance.
Tammy: So is this.
[plays tape of previous, self-incriminating conversation with Mitch]
Mitch McDeere: [to Wayne Terrance] Now, I think you ought to reconsider.
Mitch McDeere: [kicking DeVasher] You sick son-of-a-bitch!
Eddie Lomax: [Speaking very quickly] Whoo! That's my secretary. She is terrific. She's got a nutcase for a husband. He's a truck driver. He moved here to be close to Graceland. Reason why? He thinks he's Elvis. What do you think his name is? It's Elvis! Elvis Aaron Hemphill. I run across some strange things on this job. Some things you would never spray paint on an overpass.
Tommie Morolto: [on the phone] Of course I can talk. Why, isn't that what I'm doing? I mean if it's something else, please advise me Maury. I always like to learn something I don't know at five hundred dollars an hour.
[cups his hand over the phone]
Tommie Morolto: I tell you Joey, every fucking lawyer on the face of the earth oughta be killed.
[in the Caymans, Mitch is asking questions about the two attorneys who died in the diving accident]
Barry Abanks: [angrily] I lost my son! Don't you think I would have screamed bloody murder if I thought something was wrong?
Mitch McDeere: You're right, Mr. Abanks, I'm sorry. Okay? You're right. I'm sorry.
Barry Abanks:
Nothing to bury even. Just a stone. They never did find him or the other two.
Mitch McDeere: What other two?
Barry Abanks: The other two who split the charter. Your friends and two other guys.
Mitch McDeere: Lawyers?
Barry Abanks: They were in swimsuits, they paid cash.
Mitch
McDeere: Were they American?
Barry Abanks: Could have been anything. One was, I don't know, squat, heavy. The other guy had long blond hair, almost white, and weird blue eyes.
