Ray Fiske quotes from Damages

Ray

[to Arthur Frobisher about Katie] The law is on our side. The evidence is on our side. On paper, this case is tighter than a bull's ass on fight night. But if Patty Hewes gets that girl in front of a jury... all bets are off.

Ray

[after his deposition of Katie Connor] You hear that, Patty? That's the sound of the zeroes dropping off of Mr. Frobisher's revised offer.

Ray

Your Honor, Miss Hewes's claim of relevance is based solely on a vacation Mr. Malina took to Palm Beach. My mother-in-law has a time-share in Sarasota. Perhaps Miss Hewes would like to subpoena her.

Ray

You know, I always wanted to work with you Patty. Not anymore.

Ray

If these next few questions make you blush, Miss Connor, I do apologize.

Katie

To screw.

Ray

I'm sorry?

Katie

That's why I was in an empty parking lot in the middle of the night. And later on a couch and then on the floor. Do you find cocaine is like Viagra? Or are you more of a tantric breathing kind of a guy, like Sting? If these past few answers make you blush, Mr. Fiske, I apologize.

Ray

I'm worried the sun don't shine on the same dog's tail all week.

Arthur

I have no idea what that means.

Ray

It means we got lucky.

Gregory

I don't know why I believed you would help me. I should've seen it.

Ray

Seen what?

Gregory

That your whole life is a lie.

I don’t like you, Ray, but I realized an amazing thing on the way over here. You’re not my problem, Arthur is.

Ray

I have a duty …

Patty Hewes is a hair away from breaking this thing wide open. So I’m going to do what you couldn’t, Ray.

Ray

What is that?

Put an end to this thing.

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

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.

Ray

Patty... there are things far worse than death. Like living with lies. You know what you've done. Now you have a chance to set things right.

Patty

Ray...

Ray

There are things far worse than death. Don't worry about dying, Patty. Face your fear. Face yourself.
