Please do not dig the hole that you are standing in any deeper than you have already dug it.
No, sir.
That hole is the grave of your very promising career.
You should put a flashlight underneath your chin just to complete the effect.
I'm not kidding.
I know.
Eighteen years of secret anger. How did you stand it?
Nobody's life is perfect.
I'm giving you all formal notice. Any further infractions will result in immediate suspension.
Sir, you might as well suspend me now because there will be further infractions.
I gave this unit a direct written order and they have flagrantly disobeyed that order. Did they do that with your knowledge?
I ordered them to do it. I told them you countermanded your earlier order. They had no knowledge whatsoever that they were doing anything irregular.
Nice try, Mother Teresa. But they already gave themselves up.
We never said a word-
Why do people say "Eureka!" when they do something good?
It's Greek for bingo.
Well, Eureka.
Gardner Renfrew is a player in this town. You can't go to his house and screw around with him.
Why not? It's a free country.
[to Jane] Poor George dropped dead after the murder. Broke his heart, people said. George didn't really have a heart, in that sense. He died of embarrassment. A Renfrew in the pokey for murder. Quelle horreur.
Minelli wants me to keep a watch on you.
What are you going to do?
I'm not going to follow you around. Let's compromise. When you get into trouble, call me first so I can try and minimize the damage.
[to Jane] Just do me the favor of listening to me for a minute, so I can say "I told you so" later.
The law's the law. My desire for revenge doesn't outweigh the rules. I have to accept that.
I'm glad you understand.
Thanks for your time.
[Jane exits]
He's lying through his teeth, isn't he?
Yes.
[to Jane] Your wife...Red John painted her toenails. Yes. Painted them with her own blood...the police didn't make that public, did they? She's the only instance he did that, huh? A touch of elegance for you alone.
Red John is the friend of a friend of mine.
What is this friend's name?
His name is get me out of here and I'll tell you that and much more. I'll sing like a bird.
