Quotes

Samantha: I might be reading too much into this, but there’s, um, no hidden message in you sending me on vacation to Palm Springs, is there?
Jack: What kind of message?
Samantha: Like maybe I’m just getting back to work and you’re trying to get me out of your hair.
Jack: You are. Reading too much into this. Just take it for what it is. In-flight movie, a little bit of sun, and a chance to interview a convicted felon and potential murderer. Enjoy.

Martin: Doesn’t seem like you’d kill somebody for ripping you off on a painting.
Samantha: Certainly not those people. They’d probably just refill your iced tea. You know, it sounds more to me like Whitney knew she was going to get caught and she ran. I’m driving.
Martin: I’ve seen you drive.
Samantha: I’m driving!
Martin: Oh, where’s the airbag.
Samantha: (on phone) Hello. Oh, yeah, look, I’m really sorry about that. I kinda got busy. Yeah, Thursday at 7:00 sounds great. Okay, I’ll see you then.
Martin: Hot date?
Samantha: Yeah, with my federally funded therapist.

Danny: What do you know about Whitney Ridder?
Deezy: Who’s that?
Vivian: You’ve been parked in front of her loft for the last 2 weeks.
Deezy: So the FBI’s giving out parking tickets now?
Danny: What?

Vivian: Let me be frank with you, Mr. Sellers. You don’t look like the type who hires and ex-con. And now you’ve lied to a federal officer. If I can help you stop this downward spiral in your personal life, please let me know.

Danny: She didn’t just change her name. She was trying to change her life.
Vivian: Speaking from experience? Danny Taylor.
Danny: What about it?
Vivian: So why?
Danny: I guess I just wanted a fresh start.
Vivian: Did it work?
Danny: Sometimes.
