Quotes
-
Darren Ripley : My clerk tells me you want to cash a check for $100,000?
Ryan Wolfe : Actually, we want to give you an IOU.
Darren Ripley : Funny. Get out of here, or I'm going to call the cops.
Calleigh Duquesne : Look, we are the cops, okay? We've got a hostage situation. People's lives are at stake. Here's our paperwork.
Darren Ripley : O-Okay, y-you know what? You can't just come in here and clean me out, okay? I mean, how am I gonna get my money back?
Calleigh Duquesne : I understand what you're saying, and I'm sorry. But if you have any other questions, you're gonna have to get in contact with Horatio Caine.

Lieutenant Horatio Caine : What's Mr. Sloan's full name?
Darren Ripley : Mathew Sloan.
Frank Tripp : I'll check it out. Track down the ex-wife.
Darren Ripley : Yeah, track her down.
[laughing]
Darren Ripley : What, are you guys kidding me? What does he have anything to do with this?
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Mr. Sloan is seeking justice. You did something to him, and now he's sent me after you. Why?
Darren Ripley : We were legitimate business partners, okay? I was starting this new venture, this drive-in, check-cashing thing. I mean, we both went in 50/50.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Which means he put up his life savings, and you put up fake paper.
Darren Ripley : Yeah, that. Whatever. See, when the venture failed, he noticed that I wasn't too concerned about it, so he somehow figured out that I was counterfeiting. You know? Then he kept calling the Better Business Bureau. He kept calling the attorney general's office. He was trying to sic them on me. I mean, he was crazy, man.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : This man... has you facing federal charges now, so who's crazy?

Frank Tripp : You own Royal Vista Check Cashing, Mr. Ripley?
Darren Ripley : Uh, you know what? Here's a better question. When are you paying back the 100 grand that you took from me?
Frank Tripp : Pay you back? What the hell are you talking about? That money's not worth the lint in my pocket.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Yes, what my esteemed colleague is trying to say is that we know you're counterfeiting money.
Darren Ripley : [amused] Get out of here, man. You guys got some bad intel.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : The burn marks on your hands indicate a process that uses a corrosive material to strip ink off bills.
Frank Tripp : Then you print whatever denomination you want.
Darren Ripley : Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Look, just listen. You guys came into my workplace, no warrant, nothing - which I was cool with, by the way - and now you're setting me up.
Frank Tripp : No, we didn't, but somebody wanted to make sure you went down for this.
Lieutenant Horatio Caine : [putting a picture on the table] Why don't you have a seat?
