Spenser: Small Vices (1999 TV Movie)

Marcia Gay Harden: Susan Silverman

Quotes 

• Spenser : [referring to the Gray Man, who has just threatened them both]  We're both safe until I make another move on the Alves case.

  Susan Silverman : How can you be so sure?

  Spenser : What makes him deadly is he says what he means, and he means what he says. It would be his trademark. He warned me off the case. If I'm off, he takes his money and goes home. If I'm not, he kills me.

  Susan Silverman : You know this man?

  Spenser : Not specifically.

  Susan Silverman : But you know people like him.

  Spenser : Yeah.

  Susan Silverman : He's like... Hawk.

  Spenser : Yeah, he is.

  Susan Silverman : And he's like you.

  Spenser : Maybe some.

• Spenser : [Spenser tells Susan about an attempt on his life by the Gray Man]  I don't think he expected to miss.

  Susan Silverman : But he did. And you charged him. And now, he knows a little more about you.

  Spenser : And vice versa.

  Susan Silverman : What do you know about him?

  Spenser : That he's not caught up in macho games. He took a shot at me and it didn't work out so he walked away from it. There'll be another time. He'll look for it. He's not interested in who's tougher. He's interested in who's dead.

  Susan Silverman : You are a piece of work. The Gray Man thinks he's chasing you... and you think you're chasing him.

  Spenser : I AM chasing him. What I don't want is for him to know it.
