TV show quotes
So, how you been? You feeling all right?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm good. The last six months have felt like five years, but it's good to be back. I appreciate you coming by the hospital every week. That meant a lot.
Ah. Least I could do. Well, how's Christine? Please tell me you haven't screwed that up.
No, no. It's great. She's great. Mary and the kids?
(Scoffs) I screwed that up years ago. But she loves me. What can I say?
Cinema quoi cinema, I'd have to say Manhattan.
No!
Yes.
No way, absolutely not. Annie Hall. Annie Hall over Manhattan any day of the week.
Well, Manhattan has a classic style and a Gershwin score.
Nah, it's black and white.
No, but it's just... you just prefer a more unconventional form of storytelling. I guess I'm just more of a conventional guy.
Nothing about you is conventional, Sid.
Messer, you suck!
Hey, you want to come down here and say that?
All right, all right, all right.
(To Sid) Annie Hall for sure.
(To Capt. Curtis Smith while the NYFD and NYPD get into a fight after a hockey match) Well, I guess there's no truth to the rumor the departments hate each other.
Nice and slow. One step at a time. You okay? You need to take a break?
I can't remember what happened. The thing. I... I can't picture it in my head. At all.
You don't have to do this, you know. Come here every day.
(Holding his arm as he walks down the hospital hall) Nice and slow, one step at a time.
I hate you seeing me like this.
Well, you better get used to it 'cause I'm not going anywhere.
The guy who died, the fireman, he was a friend of yours? I'm sorry. I'm sorry he died.
Yeah, you're so sorry you went back to the scene during his funeral. You couldn't even let us have that.
You're right. That was poor timing on my part.
How'd you light the fires, Leonard? Some kind of time-delay device, huh? How'd you do it?
I'm not gonna conjure fire from thin air, Detective.
Do you smoke?
No.
Drink? I trust you've never experimented with heroin or crystal meth? Addiction. That's what it is, an addiction. Only there's no chemical in my bloodstream weaving its way through my body. The poison coursing through my veins is psychological. And the antidote can't be found in a bottle of pills.
I don't want to do what I do, Detective. Every day, every hour, I battle with my mind. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. And I've won that battle for the last 15 years.
Yeah, I'm... I'm confused. You waiting for some kind of applause here? You want me to cry?
I have just as much incentive to figure out who set that fire as you do. Someone clearly wants to frame me, someone who has waited a long time for me to get out, but would prefer that I stay caged up in that cell.
And you might know who that someone is?
I'm offering my services. As a... arson investigator... if you will.
Arrogance: it's always the criminal's Achilles heel.
This. It's the ignition point.
Yeah, great, genius. That was a tough one. Can I lock his ass up now, please?
Did you find anything here? Either inside or next to the hole in the floor?
One of my investigators found some kind of melted metal.
About the size of a dime?
What was it, Leonard?
Have I not earned your respect enough to not treat me like one of your project thugs?
You don't have even one ounce of my respect.
Which is precisely why I'm not gonna tell you what it was. You'll use it against me.
