- Ellen Parsons: Did you identify the body?
- Detective Dan Williams: There was no body.
- Detective Rosario Ortiz: That's right.
- Ellen Parsons: Well, that's impossible.
- Ellen Parsons: [cut to conversation with Hollis] There are things that I, I can't talk about.
- Hollis Nye: Why not?
- Ellen Parsons: It's about the case.
- Hollis Nye: The Frobisher case?
- Arthur Frobisher: Wait. All right, let's back up here. Tell me about your book.
- George Berber: My novel?
- Arthur Frobisher: Sorry, your novel.
- George Berber: It's... it's hard to describe.
- Arthur Frobisher: Just tell me what it's about, will ya?
- George Berber: On the face of it, it's a love story. It's about... nostalgia... and how that affects our core relationship.
- Arthur Frobisher: Jesus, George. I mean that sounds like crap. Are you kidding me? Look what you're doing here. I mean, you're living on... you're sleeping on a futon. Come on. You know... Of course you're writing about my life. You don't have one, you know? And you're screwing the immigrant because what...
- George Berber: Excuse me?
- Arthur Frobisher: ...you appreciate their culture?
- George Berber: Excuse me?
- Arthur Frobisher: Is that what you say to yourself? The truth is you're just trying to feel superior. Try running a $40 billion industry. See how that makes you feel.
- George Berber: Get out!
- Arthur Frobisher: Yeah, try managing 11,000 employees. I bet that gives you a hard-on, you little...
- Arthur Frobisher: Just leave!
- Arthur Frobisher: Shit!
- Arthur Frobisher: You want to know why they're suing me, you invisible piece of shit? 'Cause I'm worth it.
- George Berber: I hope that you lose everything.
- Arthur Frobisher: Now you be careful.
- George Berber: 'Cause you are an arrogant asshole.
- [Arthur punches George in the nose; George winces in pain]
- Arthur Frobisher: Hey, guess what? You're fired. He's fired. Tell him that, will ya?
- Patty Hewes: It's biology, Ellen. A man should want to be in charge. Now the trick is making him feel like he actually is.
- Ray Fiske: To tell the truth, I'm not really sure what to expect, but... Mr. Frobisher sings your praises.
- Sleep Therapist: Oh, sleep therapy is more of an art than a science.
- Ray Fiske: I can't sleep... and when I do, I have nightmares.
- Sleep Therapist: What's the nature of your dreams?
- Ray Fiske: In one, my teeth fall out.
- Sleep Therapist: It's pretty common. It's thought to signify...
- Ray Fiske: Insecurity... anxiety... I know.
- Ray Fiske: Well, that's one interpretation, but it can also signify... a secret you're keeping. More specifically, your overwhelming fear that people will find it out.
