Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : [crime scene, corpse of FBI agent dressed in woman's attire] You're a model of restraint.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : What do you mean?
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : No comment on the DB's choice of wardrobe?
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : You mean, like, the dress doesn't match the shoes?
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Or the wig doesn't match the five o'clock shadow.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : It's beneath me.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Don't tell me you're showing signs of maturity.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Watch closely, I may become an adult before your very eyes.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : That will be the day.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : On the other hand, this guy could be the reincarnation of J. Edgar Hoover.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Couldn't resist, could you?
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Afraid not.

[ends call]
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : That was Harry.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : And?
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : He wants to know if we found anything.
[monotone:]
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : He wants to know if we're cooperating with the Feds. He wants to know if we'll keep him informed.
[looks at cellphone]
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : You know, the advances in technology are not necessarily good.

Felicia Malone : [stunning bikini girl on chaise longue] Hi. I'm Felicia Malone.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Tom Ryan.
Felicia Malone : Are you guys cops?
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Uh... that's very perceptive.
Felicia Malone : Uh-huh.
[points]
Felicia Malone : Bad cut on the jacket. Your gun is showing.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Thanks.
Felicia Malone : [gets up] I'm Conrad's daughter.
[to Tom:]
Felicia Malone : You want a drink?
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Ah, some iced water will be great.
Felicia Malone : [flippant tone] Water's in the kitchen.
[to Tom, with smile:]
Felicia Malone : What will you have?
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : I'll have cranberry juice.
Felicia Malone : [husky tone] Anything in it?
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Uh, ice.
Felicia Malone : Ice.
[smiles, turns around, walks away]
Felicia Malone : Yes.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : How did I do it?
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : What?
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Become invisible.
Conrad Malone : [appears] Never could happen. Sergeant...
[kisses her hand]
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : [smiles] Thank you. This is my partner, Tom Ryan.
Conrad Malone : Ryan.
[Tom holds out his hand, but Conrad doesn't look at Tom at all]
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : I see what you mean by invisible.
-
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : [after Malone's beautiful daughter led them out] More and more interesting.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Yes, I saw what your eyeballs were interested in.

Conrad Malone : You know, I haven't any idea what you're talking about.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : You knew all along who Manny Dexter was.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : You bribed him into working for you.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : And then when he decided to squeeze you for more money...
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : ...you had him killed.
Felicia Malone : Ugh. It's truly astonishing.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : I'm sorry, what?
Felicia Malone : How you can take a single truth and turn it into a totally false conclusion.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Okay, why don't you show us the error of our logic?
Conrad Malone : It didn't take money to turn Mr. Dexter.
Felicia Malone : All it took was me.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Did you seduce him?
Felicia Malone : 'Seduce' implies far more effort than it took. More like giving a fix to a junkie. From the moment he showed up, he was following me around like a lost puppy.
Conrad Malone : After a couple of weeks, we were practically dictating his reports for him.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : [to Conrad] And you knew what she was doing?
Felicia Malone : Well, it was his idea.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Well, rack one up to family values.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : What about the twenty-five hundred? That's just... frosting?
Felicia Malone : What twenty-five hundred?
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : The money you gave him... That he had stashed away.
Conrad Malone : We never gave him a dime. We never had to.
Felicia Malone : The guy was in love. He wanted to marry me, for God's sake.
