[about Nina Hodge] If she followed her husband before, she could have tailed him again and killed him.

No, she didn't do it. She loved him.

She was a prisoner of her husbands life. She gets rid of him, gets a fresh start.

People trapped in miserable lives, always talk about escaping. Few actually do it. It's easier just to close your eyes and pretend the misery doesn't exist.

Yes, you're right. She does deserve some justice.

It's good to see you care.

You know, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

[On entering the lawyer's office] Jimmy marks on the door knob.

I doubt that was part of the original décor.

What's up, my brothers?

[to Von McBride] We just have one quick follow-up question for you.

MMcBride

[sighs] I've exceeded my quota of answering cops' questions. [Points at Jane] And my quota of crazy.
