Quotes
-
Agent Verona Parker : I believe you. But there are laws for that.
Adam Clay : There are laws for that. Until they fail. Then they've got me.
-
Agent Verona Parker : She got scammed. Somebody emptied out all her accounts, her savings, her retirement. Got every penny. Maxed out all her cards. She was an educator, and director of a charity for kids. They got two million out of that account.
Adam Clay : You know who did it?
Agent Verona Parker : I talked to an agent in our cyber-crimes office. This crew's been operating for two years, and we don't even have names. And even if we did, good luck building an indictment that would stand up in court. Some defense attorney would just argue that the elderly victim agreed to wire a complete stranger his entire life savings.
Adam Clay : Taking from an elderly person is as bad as stealing from a child. Maybe worse. Someone hurts a child, there are parents. People who care, ready to step in. Someone hurts an older person... sometimes, they're left to face the hornets alone. Because either it goes unnoticed... or no one cares.
Agent Verona Parker : I care. And I'm stubborn. And so help me God, I'm going to get these motherfuckers who did this.
Adam Clay : I need to take care of the hive.
Agent Verona Parker : You've been up all night.
Adam Clay : The hive is more important.
-
Adam Clay : I was bringing her a jar of honey.
Agent Verona Parker : Who are you - Winnie the Pooh?
-
Adam Clay : I know you're the middleman. Who's above you?
Rico Anzalone : No -- they'll kill me.
Adam Clay : I'll torture you, *then* kill you.
-
Adam Clay : I'm a Beekeeper. I protect the hive. Sometimes I use fire to smoke out hornets.
-
Adam Clay : You decide who you work for. For the law ... or for justice.
-
Adam Clay : [Spoken twice, to the call-centre staff] Repeat after me, "I will never steal from the weak and the vulnerable again".
-
Agent Verona Parker : Now, who the fuck are you, and what are you doing in my mother's house?
Adam Clay : Verona... I'm so sorry.
Agent Verona Parker : Well, how do you know my name?
-
Adam Clay : Nobody's untouchable. Sometimes, when the hive's out of balance... you have to replace the queen.
-
Adam Clay : [speaking to Derek Danforth via Mickey Garnett's cell phone] Who do I have the pleasure of speaking with?
Derek Danforth : Fuck you. That's who. You burned down my million-dollar fucking call center.
Adam Clay : Now I'm gonna burn you down. You haven't told me your name.
Derek Danforth : I told you my name. It's fuck you. Mr. Fuck You. You better fucking remember it, because you don't burn *me* down -- I burn *you* down. You understand me? You are fucking with forces that you cannot comprehend.
Adam Clay : You sound young. I bet you don't have estate planning.
Derek Danforth : I'm fucking 28-years-old. Why would I need that?
Adam Clay : I'm about to show you.
-
Agent Verona Parker : I wanted to thank you for taking care of my Mom. I tried to stay in her life as much as I could. Obviously, I could've done a better job.
Adam Clay : Being old can be a lonely thing. Turn a certain age, you cease to exist. Cease to matter. Used to be a part of life, of the family. Part of the hive, I guess you could say.
Agent Verona Parker : There's some British Isles hiding in your accent.
Adam Clay : I was born there.
Agent Verona Parker : I hated that she was out here alone. She wouldn't leave. There's too many memories.
-
Adam Clay : [speaking to Rico Anzalone] You've stolen hundreds of millions from people who've done nothing but work hard all their lives.
[showing Anzalone a photo of Eloise]
Adam Clay : She was an educator. A mom. Dedicated her whole life to helping people. Yesterday, she shot herself because you took two million from a charity she ran. She was the only person who ever took care of me.
