Scotty Valens quotes from Cold Case

Scotty

Nurse Olsen, let me ask you, you notice anything different about Bettie Petrowski when you signed her out of the hospital?

Different?

Scotty

Yeah, like maybe she's not the same person she used to be.

Will

Like maybe she's Carmen.

I was recovering it for extra credit.

Scotty

Sounds like you're good at this.

Nah, I just can't do P.E.

John

Takes some kind of rage breaking a kid's arm in two places.

Lilly

Some kind of monster.

John

I'd like to meet whoever's responsible face to face.

Scotty

Hearing you loud and clear boss. They'd better still be out there.

Lilly

Kind of job you hate to catch, but worth the most to close.

Scotty

Well maybe we'll talk with the former owner.

Good luck, cheap pervert took a nosedive into his cheese fries, 10 years back.

You can't take me there, on what basis?

Scotty

Obstructing a police investigation -88, New York bench warrant -94.

Det. Nick Vera

And irritating two homicide guys 2006.

Lilly

You find this Mack?

Scotty

Six feet under in Trenton.

Jeffries

Tough interview...

We should visit Trevor's parents, let them know we're looking into this again, and be sensitive.

Scotty Valens

Don't want to get their hopes up for nothing.

Kat Miller

You think the murder angle will get their hopes up?

Scotty Valens

They lose a son either way, him being murdered means maybe it ain't their fault.

Scotty

There you are.

Lilly

Oh, you've been looking for me?

Scotty

Not me, some dude on a Harley.

Lilly

Oh.

Scotty

Yeah, Ray something or another.

Lilly

(depressed) Oh.

Scotty

Must be something personal. (Lilly glares at him) Just saying.

Vera

Guy on a Harley, always sexy.

Will

Sure there's nothing you want to share, Lil?

Lilly

Yeah, he shows up again, tell him I'm dead.

Scotty Valens

It was raining when you picked him up tonight. It was cold out?

Yes, it was very cold.

Scotty Valens

But your car is warm. It's dry. Justin gets in, he's shivering. Maybe he's grateful for the warmth, maybe not, all that matters is he's this close. You can smell his skin, his hair, his breath. Anything can happen.

You're way off base.

Scotty Valens

You like teenage boys.

That's not why I picked him--

Scotty Valens

When he begged for his life, what'd you make Justin do?

That's not why I picked him!

Scotty Valens

Then why pick 17-year-olds?

Because the little bastards think they'll live forever! But they won't.

Scotty Valens

No. You make sure of that.

In the end, they give up, too.

I didn't want Clinton to say anything because my career is really about to take off.

Scotty Valens

And getting convicted for murder might get in the way?

Scotty Valens

Man you're making me nervous, why don't you sit down?

Will Jeffries

Because my ass has been planted all day, growing roots in that seat.

Well it's easier for you to pretend we're monsters isn't it?

Detective Valens

Excuse me?

Just like the newspapers did, the TV. What everyone forgets - that day, we lost a child too.

You said it was about Dana. Did you find her?

Scotty Valens

Her arm, we're thinking the rest of her might be dead.

Missed the sensitivity training did ya?

Scotty Valens

Your husband's overseas, Paula?

Ass-deep in the Sunni Triangle.

Lilly Rush

Not exactly a garden spot.

Desert air must appeal to him, he keeps re-enlisting.

You probably think I'm some bimbo home-wrecker.

Scotty Valens

Pretty much.
