Quotes

Vivian: Confessional’s over there.
Jack: There’s not enough time in the day. I’ll pass.

Danny: I played on a team. The St. Benedict’s Dragons.
Vivian: I find it very hard to imagine you in a white communion gown.
Danny: I didn’t actually go to church. When I was 13 I got busted shoplifting a fifth of rum from a liquor store. The judge gave me two choices: St. Benedict’s afterschool program or juvie. I figured, a couple hours of basketball a day, how bad could it be.
Vivian: And how bad was it?
Danny: Father Orlando kicked my ass. Probably saved my life.

Samantha: Remind me to slam that OPR guy with a softball at the next spring picnic.
Vivian: I’m not sure that’s how you get on their good side. Hey, have you got anything on Father Stevens?
Samantha: Uh, let me… where is it…. Okay. He got a call on the rectory phone from a precinct at 11:40 on the night he disappeared.
Vivian: Okay, I’ll call Martin and have him check that out.
Samantha: Other than that, nothing interesting pops up. Family is deceased, barely graduated high school, ended up in a series of dead-end, minimum wage and seasonal jobs.
Vivian:All in the same area?
Samantha: Southeast, mostly Florida. No arrests, two speeding tickets, entered the seminary at… 34.
Vivian:Late bloomer.
Samantha:Yeah. And joining the church is when, from a background check perspective, his life gets really uninteresting.

Martin: This guy’s an ex-con.
Danny: What?
Martin: Prison art.
Danny: What, did you do a nickel at Pelican Bay? ‘Cause if you did, I’m going to be a whole lot nicer to you.
Martin: No, actually did an internship at a state prison. Taught accounting. And I received several of these lovely cigarette boxes/nicknack holders as thank you gifts.
