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.

[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?

[Martin shoots a questioning look at Jack.]
Jack: He's gay.

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.

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