The Lodger (2009)

Alfred Molina: Chandler Manning

Quotes 

• Chandler Manning : Dead's a good alibi.

• [first lines] 

  Street Wilkenson : Detective.

  Chandler Manning : Wilkenson, right?

• Chandler Manning : Any more of those effeminate fucking little knocks, you're gonna get some unwanted attention, Detective.

  Street Wilkenson : Who says it'll be unwanted?

• Chandler Manning : Anything back from the techies?

  Street Wilkenson : Not a lot.

  Street Wilkenson : Let's see, there was nothing under the fingernails, no foreign fibers, no signs of sexual activity. He either surprised her or he knew her because there are no signs of a struggle.

  Chandler Manning : So, other than the pimp, nobody saw anything. Right in the middle of fucking Sunset Boulevard.

  Chandler Manning : What about the letter?

  Street Wilkenson : Well, there are a bunch of prints, but they only match the people who handled it before it got here. The mail room, the post office, and you, of course. Nothing back yet on the paper or the ink type.

  Chandler Manning : That's it?

  Street Wilkenson : Well, we still have someone on the pimp, but he's clean so far.

  Chandler Manning : A clean pimp? Now there's an oxymoron.

  [a desk detective behind them laughs] 

  Street Wilkenson : Well, I doubt he's the killer.

  Chandler Manning : Of course he's not the killer, you moron. Now I know this is your first case and you're trying real hard to impress all your fucking friends, but I really need you to start finding me some suspects and stop wasting my time confirming the innocent ones. Now whisper something to me, quick.

  Street Wilkenson : I don't know what you...

  Chandler Manning : Yeah, that's a good idea. I'll check up on that. Thank you.
