Daniel Purcell quotes from Damages

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.

You know, forgive me. I'm just stuck on why someone would break into a house twice and not steal anything.

Daniel

There wasn't enough time to steal anything. There was barely enough time to kill her.

Daniel

Don't manage me. I'm not a goddamned child!

Patty

Stop acting like one! Just shut your mouth and do as I say.

Ever think about killing your wife?

Daniel

No.

It's not a crime to think about doing bad things. If it were, I'd be in jail.

Daniel

When you were seven, your mother told me about you. We fought... over custody, and we went to court. It got ugly... and eventually, I backed down.

Michael

I'm sure my mom was pretty vicious.

Daniel

She was fiercely protective of you.

Daniel

The nine circles of hell are for the unrepentant who try to justify their sins.

Walter

I'm a businessman, Daniel. I don't give a shit about fire and brimstone.
