Virgil Webster quotes from The Inside

Virgil Webster

How we die often says more about us than how we live.

Virgil Webster

Tell me, how old were you when you were abducted?

Rebecca Locke

I was ten.

Virgil Webster

Same age as the St. Clair girl. And you don’t think it’s possible your own experience is clouding your judgment? That you see something of your own stolen innocence when you look at her?

Rebecca Locke

No. I don’t see myself when I look at her. I see the man who took me.

Virgil Webster

I’ve managed to persuade the St. Clairs not to file a formal complaint with the Bureau.

Rebecca Locke

Thank you, sir.

Virgil Webster

They are, however, still weighing whether or not to proceed against you civilly. I’d say they have a pretty fair case. Their daughter’s arm is broken in two places, and she’s claiming you pushed her.

Rebecca Locke

She’s lying.

Virgil Webster

Of course she’s lying! That’s not the point! You’ve compromised my entire team by allowing yourself to be discredited by an eleven-year-old.

Rebecca Locke

She’s ten, sir.

Virgil Webster

I didn’t expect you’d provide us a map to your son’s forest haunts. Not that it would matter. I believe this is where he’ll end up.

You really think he’d be stupid enough to come to us?

Virgil Webster

Not to you, Mister Robie. For you. He’ll come for you.

Virgil Webster

Mr. Dallas... I’m afraid we have some tragic news. Your son Jason was killed.

I see. I assume it was unavoidable.

Virgil Webster

It was. But the real tragedy is...I haven’t yet figured out a way to charge you with his death.

Rebecca Locke

He really loved her. Jason, I mean. In his twisted way. Faked her death to save her.

Virgil Webster

There’s no saving here. He took her out of one cage only to lock her in a another.

Rebecca Locke

Maybe now she has a chance.

Virgil Webster

Maybe. But I suspect what happened to that little girl will stay with her for the rest of her life. She’ll always be in the dark room. And anybody who cares enough to try and rescue her from it... may find themselves trapped in there with her.

Rebecca Locke

I think you’re wrong. She can survive this. I know. I got out of that room.

There’s a guy in federal lock-up,says he killed three more girls than he was convicted for. Thought we could confirm--

Virgil Webster

That’s book-keeping. I prefer fresh bodies.
