Quotes
-
Alan Saltonstall : I already told them I won't say anything without my lawyer present.
Teresa Lisbon : I don't care.
[she studies him for a moment]
Teresa Lisbon : You're hiding something.
Alan Saltonstall : What?
Teresa Lisbon : I never would have noticed something like this before, but I've been working for a very long time with somebody who's good at seeing into people; what they're thinking, feeling. I can tell there's something you're worried we're gonna find out about you.
Alan Saltonstall : That's ridiculous.
Teresa Lisbon : I'm guessing it has something to do with the black magic. Something violent or sexual, maybe both. But judging by how freaked out you are, I'd say it's something really bad.
Alan Saltonstall : I am not freaked out. And my interests, such as they are, are purely academic. I don't know what you think...
Teresa Lisbon : Shut up. I don't care what kind of kinky stuff you're into. I have a friend who's in danger and maybe you can help save him. It's possible he's being held by somebody from that blood group of yours. I want their names.
Alan Saltonstall : I don't know any names. It's an online community, and... I shouldn't even be talking to you.
Teresa Lisbon : You're lying. I can tell. You have names. You've met them, some of them. I don't think you understand how important this is to me. You give me a name, you can walk out that door right now. You don't, and I will dig up every dirty secret you have!
Alan Saltonstall : You'll what?
Teresa Lisbon : I will tell everybody you know; your coworkers, your friends, your family. You are not gonna be able to hide!
Alan Saltonstall : You... you're threatening me?
Teresa Lisbon : It's not a threat. It's a promise.
Alan Saltonstall : You can't! That's... that's illegal.
Teresa Lisbon : [gesturing to the one-way mirror] My boss is right back there. Tell him. Get me fired, ruin my career. I don't care. I want those names.
