  Detective Michael McCann : [pause]  She keeps an apartment. I keep goldfish.

• Detective Michael McCann : Monet's unknown masterpiece, Dogs At Cards.

• Catherine Banning : This is an elegant crime, done by an elegant person. It's not about the money.

  [Looks at a computer on a desk] 

  Catherine Banning : Whose desk is that?

  Detective Paretti : Er...

  Catherine Banning : Can I use it?

  Detective Paretti : Sure.

  Catherine Banning : OK, let's dig up all the major art auctions of the last five years, and see who's been bidding on Monets.

  Catherine Banning : [Holds up a sheet of paper with details of auctions]  See anyone we know?

  Detective Michael McCann : [Looks at list. Sees Thomas Crown listed as a bidder on a Monet]  Him? A big day for this guy is takin' off his tie! He's a finance geek?

  Catherine Banning : Is he?

• Detective Michael McCann : I love this neighborhood. Some of these broads are wearing my salary.

• [Catherine is clearly upset] 

  Detective Michael McCann : Are you okay?

  Catherine Banning : Yeah.

  Detective Michael McCann : You know I was okay once. My girlfriend went out one night and came back... married. I told everyone that I didn't care, and then I fucked five women in three days, flipped my car on an on-ramp, beat a suspect unconscious, got suspended... but I was "okay."

• Detective Michael McCann : [about Thomas Crown]  Do you realize what kind of flesh-eating lawyers this guy is going to have?

• Detective Michael McCann : Give.

  [pause] 

  Detective Michael McCann : You know what? Life is full of shitty conflicts, okay? Give!
