Justine Appleton quotes from Murder One

Justine Appleton

I took a calculated risk and it turned out a poor one. I guess playing Mata Hari isn't my strong point.

Justine Appleton

I'd forgotten how much I liked Holbein.

Richard Cross

Simply magnificent. The use of color, the balance of the composition. But I think the thing that draws you in the most is the darkness. Nobody handled darkness like Holbein.

Justine Appleton

The dollar is rebounding against all the European currencies. So, if you were to close on the Holbein painting today, the price would only be ridiculous instead of obscene.

Richard Cross

Good. If the dollar takes a wrong turn, I can live with obscene.

Richard Cross

In my experience a ruthlessly ambitious person like yourself never asks an idle question.

Justine Appleton

You think I'm ruthlessly ambitious?

Richard Cross

Yes. And, coming from me, that's a compliment.
