Jack: The boys just called from San Diego. Patrick hasn't lived in that corporate apartment for months.
Vivian: There's no hotel charges on his credit card statements.
Jack: Well, Mr. Brooks Brothers's not living out of his car.
Vivian: That's just it. He's only Mr. Brooks Brothers on the east coast. New York, he's Noble, Ralph Lauren, Tiffany's; but in San Diego, it's Denny's and discount outlets.
Jack: Two lives.

Jack: Trevor Haines is a con artist. He read about your son's case on-line. He memorized some details and he made up the rest. He's done it before, Chet. Several times. I'm truly sorry.
Chet Collins: Feels like drowning, Jack...like drowning so slowly you don't even realize what's happening. Well, I-I have to go. I can't let Sean go, but...you know, each time...each time I'm scared that I might not be able to hang on.
Jack: You can hang on to me.

Jack: Vivian, I like working with you. But don't you ever lie to me again.

Jack: Well, it's a big city out there. I think if you grow up here, you take it for granted.
Vivian: You're right.
Jack: Wonder how many girls are all like Eve? They come to this town full of hope but really, they're just these tiny pebbles that get thrown into a lake so big they barely leave a ripple. You know, it's amazing. Chet Collins is so desperate to find out anything about his son, but we can't find one person who noticed Eve was missing.
Vivian: Jack, about Chet Collins--I don't think you should give up.
Jack: Sometimes I wish I could.
Vivian: No, you don't. You're a hope junkie, like the rest of us.

Jack: Well, the wife goes missing, the husband's the last one to see her. We don't need to talk about those percentages, do we?
Vivian: I love the way your brain works. Always goes to the darkside.

Jack: Who the hell's Hilary Duff?
Maria: Her, um...latest obsession.

Jack: Why do you always do this?
Anne Cassidy: Do what?
Jack: Make a simple question complicated.
Anne: I'm a lawyer- I guess it comes with the training.

Jack: You don't want to hurt anyone Barry, because if you do, that's when things are going to get difficult.
Barry: Oh, yeah, well, things are really peachy right now.

Jack: You know, I've been giving something a lot of thought. It's occurred to me that...in some ways, I envy you.
Graham Spaulding: You envy me?
Jack: Yes. The power...that you have with those boys--what that must feel like.
Graham Spaulding: What boys?
Jack: Andy, Eric Lipinski, Robert Griffith. I know there have been others.
Graham Spaulding: There have been many.
Jack: Do me a favor, Graham. Tell me what it's like...the moment that you take them out. Tell me. You can see the terror in their eyes, right? You can feel their hearts racing. You can feel the cold sweat under your hands just before you stick the needle in. It must be such a rush. Martin, put the CD in.
[Martin plays the CD; Moby's "One of These Mornings" begins playing.]
Jack: Andy made this CD for Phoebe. He wanted her to think about him when he wasn't there. Is that what you wanted? Is that why you stole it? You wanted to think about him. Is it what you two listened to when you were together?
Graham Spaulding: No.
Jack: No, that's right, that's right. That's right, you never got a chance. You never got a chance to go back to him because he's still out there. He's waiting. It must be hard. It must be hard knowing that he's out there...waiting. The touch of his skin, the feel of him under you. I understand you, Graham, I do. I've been to that school. I've seen those beautiful boys. Their beautiful bodies...to hold all that innocence in your arms...to take...the power. It must be really frustrating knowing that Andy is out there waiting for you...waiting...waiting...waiting and you can't get back to him. You can't be with him one last time. But I tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to give you fifteen minutes with him, if you tell me where he is.
Graham Spaulding: You'd do that?
Jack: I'll give you fifteen minutes with him...alone. You can do whatever you want.
Graham Spaulding: Fifteen minutes.
Jack: Whatever you want.
[They find Andy]

Jack: Your state's about to execute someone. What's wrong with a little attention?

Jeff Blye: Agent Malone, I would like it to be noted that my client is cooperating fully in this investigation.
Jack: Apart from hiding every crucial piece of information your client has been very cooperative and we'll be sure to make a note of that.

Judge Adderley: Gentlemen, I got to tell you, this guy Spaulding sounds like real scum. I hope you can put him away for the rest of his miserable life and I'll be glad to help you do that...as soon as you appear before me with constitutionally-obtained evidence. Now, just so you understand Agents Taylor and Malone, you may not enter a house without a search warrant under the flimsiest of exigent circumstances and then bootstrap that questionable entry into a fishing expedition for other evidence. [to Danny] And you, son--you had no right to continue the search after finding that dog. You had no right to open the photo album and you certainly had no right to remove it from the premises. And you have absolutely no right to an arrest warrant based on the photographs found therein. Make sense?

Katherine: I know everything. I know about your California whore.
Patrick: Katherine, calm down.
Katherine: Calm down? You have been lying to me for two years. Every day for two years. How could you do this to me? To Father?

Lucas Vohland:[To Martin, regarding Samantha] Is this your girlfriend?
Samantha: I'm his partner.
Lucas Vohland: You're a lot better looking than his last one.

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.
