Samantha Spade quotes from Without a Trace

Samantha

Eve Cleary as J-Lo. Eve Cleary as Britney. Who the hell are we looking for?

Samantha

I'm sorry I didn't come to see you sooner. I, ah, I guess I was scared to see you like...like this. I want you to know that I know that I haven't been very good about...being there for you. But I'm here now. And...I'm not going anywhere until I know you're alright.

Danny

Two years working white-collar in Seattle and he gets this assignment?

Samantha

Doesn't hurt to be Victor Fitzgerald's kid.

Danny

Mmm. No wonder he's smiling.

Samantha

Not a bad smile, either.

Vivian

What time was that taken?

Danny

2:32 A.M.

Vivian

Where's she going?

Danny

Maybe it's a booty call.

Samantha

Your mind is always in the gutter. There was no call.

Danny

Tom Wilkins, 11:48.

Martin

In my experience, there's usually not a three-hour lag between the call and the, uh...delivery.

Martin

So, you want me here?

Jack

Break major protocol on the first day, that's what happens.

Martin

How long does it take to get out of his dog house?

Danny

Depends on the dog.

Samantha

Don't mind Danny. He's just, uh, marking his territory.

Samantha

Lots of little red dots.

Martin

Phone's ringing every 15 seconds. Must be a lot of little brown-haired kids unaccounted for. Look, I know people are trying to be helpful but...for example, this lady? She keeps calling me. She's convinced that she saw Gabe on T.V. this morning ringing the bell to open the stock exchange.

Samantha

Trouble is, just when you think you've got every nutcase in America calling your number that's the exact moment you get a live one.

Martin

Well, one better come in soon, 'cause I'm running out of push-pins.

Samantha

Heard you got a little wet.

Martin

Beats sweating my ass off in the doghouse.

Martin

So I've got three composites on our suspect.

Samantha

White, maybe not white. Brown-haired or balding. Bearded man with a mustache.

Danny

You got to love eyewitnesses. Me, I'll take an old-fashioned grainy security video any day of the week.

Samantha

He's in love with her.

Jack

Probably.

Samantha

Think Duncan knows?

Jack

Probably.

Samantha

Maybe a safe place for her to land. He's familiar. He's got just as much to lose as she does.

Jack

I don't know. She lost a child. If she was looking for an escape, she probably picked somebody that was completely separate from her real life.

Samantha

Is that from your infidelity handbook?

Jack

Chapter three.

Samantha

Well, I hate to contradict the book, but if you're wrong, it leaves Duncan plenty of motive.

Jack

Five A.M.--Danny's up early.

Samantha

That's assuming he went to bed.

Martin

Look, profiles aren't flawless but they exist for a reason. I mean, come on, we use them everyday.

Samantha

Oh, look, pediatrics. Maybe he's a pedophile too.

Samantha

You think it's easy being surrounded by guys with guns all day?

Martin

I thought you liked guys with guns.

Samantha

I like the guns.

Martin

Samantha...you, uh, you got time to grab a drink?

Samantha

Oh, I've...I--I told Keller I'd meet him. But, I mean, you're welcome to come with us if...

Martin

No, no, that's all right. No, you guys go ahead. Thanks.

Samantha

Okay, well, maybe some other time?

Martin

Yeah, some other time.

Danny

Morning, hot stuff.

Samantha

Good morning to you. Late night last night?

Danny

A man's got to do.

Samantha

Yeah? Who's the lucky?

Danny

I don't kiss and tell, you know that.

Martin

You and, uh, "Delia"--fuzzy boundaries.

Samantha

Well, that's how I like my relationships--nice and complicated.
