Jo Anderson: Diana Bennett

Quotes 

• Diana Bennett : What kind of roses did she like?

  Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : What do I look like, her florist?

  Diana Bennett : The only way that you can get a red and white rose to grow off of the same bush is with a special grit. Did you know that?

  Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : Maybe she couldn't make up her mind.

  Diana Bennett : Joe, there's a language to flowers. The red rose means passion and love, and the white rose is eternity or... or death. Now, somehow, I don't know how, but somehow Vincent knew whenever she was in trouble, and... and he came to her. He was her protector.

  Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : You sound like you know this guy.

  Diana Bennett : Well, sometimes I feel like I do.

• Diana Bennett : Whoever killed Cathy Chandler was not the same person who brought her home.

  Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : Now, what makes you think that?

  Diana Bennett : Vincent brought her home, Joe. He brought her home because he loved her.

  Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : Oh, come on.

  Diana Bennett : Look at these pictures. Moreno and Gates were ripped to pieces. Claw marks on the bones, torn flesh, heavy bruising, heavy bleeding.

  Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : Yeah, I read the autopsies.

  Diana Bennett : Coroner says it looked more like an animal attack than a murder. Now, I ran a computer check just to see if there were any other instances of this same M.O. in the last three years.

  Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : I remember these cases. But what do they have to do with ours?

  Diana Bennett : The earliest was eight months after Cathy Chandler came to work for you. A third of them tie into cases that she was involved with.

  Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : All circumstantial. You can't prove a damn thing.

  [she sets a chunk of concrete on the table] 

  Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : Vincent? Where'd you get this?

  Diana Bennett : Drainage tunnel under the park. Did you know there are hundreds of unmapped tunnels underneath this city, with access through Cathy's sub-basement?

  Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : So?

  Diana Bennett : Oh, Joe, so... I don't know.
