Patty Hewes quotes from Damages

Patty

[about David] He called off the engagement?

Ellen

Maybe we went too far. [Pause] Do you regret what we did?

Ellen

I'm so sick of your bullshit.

Patty

What did you say to me?

Ellen

You heard me.

Patty

Get out. And don't bother coming back.

Patty

Gregory Malina's dead.

Ray

Oh my.

Patty

Hit and run.

Ray

That's horrible.

Patty

I guess we'll never know what really happened.

Ray

Maybe the police will find the guy.

Patty

[Grins] I won't hold my breath. And, Ray...shame on you.

Patty

I have a lot of questions.

Ray

That's what Wikipedia's for.

Patty

Don't you just love dogs?

Ray

Yeah. They're like people. Only without the bullshit.

Patty

I'm sorry you went through that.

Ellen

I hate these people.

Patty

Did I ever tell you why I became a lawyer, Ray?

Ray

No, you never told me.

Patty

I thought I could change the world. Silly, huh?

Ray

I just liked getting to wear a tie every day.

Patty

Ellen... no matter what you think, I didn't have anything to do with any of this.

Ellen

I know.

Patty

But Tom told me that you accused me of trying to kill you.

Ellen

How else was I supposed to get you back here?

Ellen

You did teach me one valuable lesson.

Patty

I'm glad.

Ellen

'Trust no one.' Well, I don't anymore, Patty. Least of all you.

[about Ellen's murder charge] Ms. Hewes, Ellen Parsons worked for you. I don't think you can be objective about this.

Patty

I'm not! I'm not objective at all, and I'm going to turn my passionate, irrational anger against your office.

Patty

So, think about it. But not for too long. If I don't hear from you by the end of the day tomorrow, I'm gonna treat some friends of mine at the Justice Department to dinner and a movie.

Arthur

You really enjoy this, don't you?

Patty

It's my job.

Arthur

Why do you hate me so much?

So, tell us about this Arthur Frobisher. Pretty wealthy guy, right?

Patty

Not anymore. [smiles]

Ah, girls today could learn something from you, Patty. You know how to wear a skirt, but you're one of the boys. Always have been.

Patty

Ah, except for the vagina.

Patty

I don't think you realize what's going on here. You were found alone in your house with your wife's body. There's no sign of forced entry, and you lied to the police.

Daniel

I am going to be a suspect.

Patty

You're the spouse. You're gonna be the suspect.

Ellen

[about Daniel] Do you think he killed his wife?

Patty

I think it's best not to jump to conclusions.

Ellen

But you know him. Do you think he's even capable of something like that?

Patty

I think anyone is capable of anything.
