Quotes[]
- (Referring to the murder weapon)
"...and guess who it was registered to?"
"Himes, Gilbert?"
"Nope. And not to Ralston, Janet, either."
"Ralston, Alan? Great. He was killed with his own gun."
- - Max Greevey, Benjamin Stone and Mike Logan
- Max Greevey: That's amazing. I know cops who been in shooting cases that can't remember their badge numbers afterwards. (Referring to the suspect.) Her husband gets shot, she gets shot, victim of a horrible crime, she remembers every second.
- Paul Robinette: Short of a mob killing, I'm beginning to think this is the most dispassionate murder I've ever seen.
- Benjamin Stone: True love. They'd sell each other out for a nickel.
"I thought you didn't believe in evil."
"That's before I met Janet Ralston."
"Either she's evil, or she's two years old. She wants what she wants when she wants it."
- - Benjamin Stone and Adam Schiff
- Janet Ralston: You don't scare me, Mr. Stone.
- Benjamin Stone: Oh, yes, I do, Mrs. Ralston. I scare you a great deal. And I should.
- Max Greevey: I hate horseback riding. Scares the hell out of me.
- Mike Logan: Scary for the horse, too.
- Gordon Schell: It's a crime of passion, Stone. Pure and simple.
- Benjamin Stone: A crime of passion is never pure, and it's certainly not simple.
