We are running him down the flagpole and that's all that there is to it. If you want to examine the body, you may do so after I'm done.
[Albert's body comes crashing through the window]
I'm done.
I'm glad he's dead, 'cause that would have really hurt.
Look, we got off on the wrong foot yesterday.
Maybe that's because it was in your mouth.
I've waited my whole career to say this: The butler did it.
That's disturbing.
Was I right?
That's what's disturbing.
Are you sure you don't want to wait for your lawyer?
I'm perfectly capable of ignoring your questions without him.
[after confessing to the murder] I'm really sorry that I never got the opportunity to knock off those horrible children. [pause] Is there a chance I could plead insanity?
If you attempt to interview Dennis without me, not only will I release Deanna and Devlin, I'll help them escape.
I'll let you participate in this interview if you let me participate in yours.
I'm a little bit past the "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" stage of life.
That's your idea of an interview?! You just pick someone up and hope they tell you something?
What's wrong with that?
On Sunday at the time in question, Deanna was finishing up her 30-day detox at local rehab. She just got out yesterday morning.
[Deanna vomits into the toilet]
I hope you kept the receipt.
Ok, everybody; mark the date. [Long pause] I was wrong.
Oh, God; I can't believe it. I've got to arrest those awful Dutton children again.
Is it too much to hope that you and I might cross paths again one day?
Be careful what you wish for, Mr. Dutton.
