Marshall Mann quotes from In Plain Sight

Marshall

You can stop thinking whatever it is you're thinking.

Oh, come on, man. You mean to tell me you have a partner that looks like that and you still get pissy when guys check her out? Maybe you're the one who needs to stop thinking what you're thinking.

Marshall

Why don't you go on home?

Mary

Nope.

Marshall

I don't get it. So what if your mom showed up unannounced. She just wanted to surprise you.

Mary

There are two kinds of surprises, Marshall: birthday and Pearl Harbor. Guess which category the "mom surprise" falls under? It doesn't matter. I hate them both.

Marshall

Well you can't stay here forever.

Mary

No, but I think I can do a week. I bet if I don't show up for a week she'll run out of food and booze and leave.

Mary

He thinks he's got a shot with me.

Marshall

[Speaking to their witness] You have no shot. In fact, Joe Stalin's rotting corpse has a better chance of getting into her bryuki than you do.

Mary

Aw. You can be so sweet sometimes. [leaves the room]

You know, her words say nyet, but her eyes say maybe not nyet.

Marshall

She would use you like a swizzle stick.

Mary

Tasha's so excited for me to meet her new boyfriend. It's really sweet. Oh, God. I hope we didn't miss him. I don't know why I'm always late with her.

Marshall

Habitual lateness most often manifests in people with control issues.

Mary

Oh, God.

Marshall

By arriving late on scheduled appointments you cause the person with whom the appointment was made to wait, for you, thereby controlling his or her behavior. Classic passive aggressive pathology.

Mary

When have you ever known me to be passive about anything?

Mary

[to Marshall] I love you like an eight dollar whore.

Marshall

[smiles] I'm sure you mean that in a good way.

Marshall

SwifferMuseum.com. Why? How? Why?

Mary

What about KnittingWholesale.com? Maybe he's trying to lure old women into the lurid world of cross-stitching.

Marshall

CowsAreEvil.com.

Mary

Undeniable.

Marshall

OverstockedPradaLeather.com.

Mary

What? What was that last one?

Marshall

Kidding.

Mary

Bastard.

Marshall

What's going on, Stan?

Stan

Her name is Eleanor Prince. She was the administrator to the FBI HQ in Phoenix for eight years. Her husband was a field agent and got killed last year in an auto accident.

Marshall

You realize Mary is going to have a problem with this.

Stan

It crossed my mind. You have to get her to accept Eleanor.

Marshall

Shall I teach her to levitate while I'm at it? Come on. You know Mary doesn't like new people.

Mary

[Det. Dershowitz and Marshall hugged] What the hell was that?

Marshall

We bonded over your near death experience.

Mary

And you became black in the process?

Honorary

Marshall

It's very exciting.

Mary

[sarcastically] I'll bet.

Mary

Actually I'm in a really good mood... which is kind weird if you consider where I was 48-hours ago; and then I have a witness off herself; and if that's not bad enough I have to play second fiddle to a guy like you.

Marshall

Thanks for lumping me in with kidnapping, attempted rape, and suicide, can't tell you how much that means.

So do you like any of them for this?

Marshall

It's hard to find a motive for murder. I suppose any of them could have assisted.

Mary

When I kill my mother there will be no doubt as to who did it.

Mary

Second bottle, mom?

Jinx

For those keeping score.

Mary

[To Marshall] Second bottle is the ironic Jinx. You want to be gone by number three.

Marshall

Say no more, and you go to bed.

Mary

Yeah, yeah. Don't worry, I'm fine.

Marshall

I know, and you need to remember that. Whatever's happening inside your head needs to happen. Now just let it flow. Be the river.

Mary

Don't be a retard. I can't be the river.

Marshall

You can be the river!

Mary

Okay, but not today. Tomorrow I'll be the river.

Marshall

That a girl.

Marshall

Amnesia, huh?

Mary

Don't you dare laugh.

Marshall

I would never. Although, it is surprising this hasn't happened before, considering how many people would like to forget they ever met you.

Mary

Took you a long time to think of that one, didn't it?

Marshall

Almost an hour.

Mary

I want you both to promise to shoot me in the head if I ever have three kids.

Marshall

Yeah, all right.

Stan

Okay.

Mary

Thanks.

Marshall

[Speaking of Rabbi Garfinkle] How did he know to have her in Albuquerque?

Mary

He's got magical powers. It's the only explanation.

Marshall

So how are things with Jinx?

Mary

Weird.

Marshall

She drinking?

Mary

No, not as far as I can tell. She actually seems to be trying pretty hard not to.

Marshall

And that's a problem because...?

Mary

Because eventually she will.

Marshall

Eventually we're all gonna get sick and die. It doesn't mean you can't...

Mary

Make hay while the sun shines ?

Marshall

Yeah. Less trite. Why don't you talk to the rabbi about it ?

Mary

You're my rabbi.

Marshall

L'chaim.

Mary

Gesundheidt. Silly wabbi. Come on. Say it.

Marshall

Kicks are for trids.
