Quotes 

• Carter Hayes : [to Drake]  You're a very brave and stupid man.

  [Drake turned to Carter] 

  Carter Hayes : What are you doing, Drake? You can't come in here.

  Drake Goodman : Listen, Carter. It's no big deal. I just want to go upstairs and see Patty, okay?

  Carter Hayes : But you're breaking the law, Drake.

  Drake Goodman : W... wait a minute.

  [Carter shot Drake once and twice at his left arm. Hayes then plants a crowbar at the scene to prevent any criminal charges. Drake grunting] 

• James Danforth : [Here at the interrogation room. James Danforth is in jail]  They're lying. These people are completely pathological. They took 1/2 a year's rent from me and they said I never paid them. They evicted me, they slandered me, they totally destroyed my credit. They physically assaulted me. They threatened my life. And now this. These people are parasites. Florence.

  [sighs] 

  James Danforth : I am so sorry... that you were even touched by any of this. Oh, God, I'm so embarrassed. When I first met you, I was enchanted and I... I was dazzled. I'm sorry. No, it's not like I can't prove they're lying. I can prove, they're lying. It's gonna take a little time.

  [sighs] 

  James Danforth : I'll have to take them to court, I guess, but for right now it's my word against theirs, isn't it? I don't know what these people want. You know that if they hadn't tied up my trust, I would never ask you for anything. But if the bail isn't paid, I can't get out of here, and I cannot prove to you, Sir. What I hope Florence already knows in her heart. At least I would hope that you know. Look... I'm just asking you to do... whatever it is your heart tells you to do.
