Danny Taylor quotes from Without a Trace

Danny

I can understand why you want to be alone. It's nice here. Clare, I understand why you feel the way you do. I lost both my parents when I was eleven. We were driving somewhere and they were fighting. My dad was yelling at my mom. He used to like to yell at my mom. I wanted him to stop, so I said something. Then he turned around, and he yelled at me. That's when the car started to swerve. I never told anybody that. Ever. And I know what it's like to keep a secret. I didn't mean to do anything wrong that day. I was just a kid...

Danny

One minute I wanted to be a lawyer, the next minute I needed one.

Danny

Family history can be a bitch.

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.

Danny

This would have never happened at Shea.

Vivian

It's so sad how bitter Mets fans are.

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.

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.

Danny

Here's what eighteen hundred gets you in the city.

Martin

Aw, come on, they can't all be this bad.

Danny

You're right--most of the time the bathtub's in the kitchen.

Danny

You know what I used to do when I was your age and I missed someone?

What?

Danny:

I used to lay in my bed at night and I used to look out the window and I'd stare up at the sky and I would name each of the stars after someone that I missed. So whenever I felt lonely, I'd look up at the sky and I'd see Daniella, Erica and Andrea right there. It made it a little better.

Danny

Somewhere far, far away, Martha Stewart weeps. Looks like our boy Patrick went to the mattresses.

Danny

Hi. Sorry to bother you. We're with the FBI.

Martin

[holding up a photo] Have you seen this man before?

Yes. This is my husband.

Danny

A plane is not supposed to be in the sky. It's not natural.

Martin

Neither was that flight attendant and you weren't afraid of her.

Jack

So what are you thinking?

Danny

He's got an ex-con working for him. Maybe this whole Laundromat, dry-cleaner thing is a front.

Jack

For what?

Danny

I don't know. Drugs, diamonds...illegal ferrets...

Danny

We have a doctor, a man in a wheelchair, a pregnant woman that's not her...a fat guy in a robe, a nurse...

Martin

Is it important that you narrate?

Danny

You know, I'm sorry, I forgot...you can't think and listen at the same time, and...

Martin

That's pretty good for someone who can't think without speaking.

Martin

[Talking about Samantha and Eric Keller] Is there something going on between those two?

Danny

Used to be.

Martin

Really? That's her type, huh?

Danny

Hey, are you jealous?

Martin

Jealous? What, are you crazy?

Danny

Okay. Guess I'm crazy.
