Quotes 

• Dr. Robert Elliott : [being interviewed by Marino after Kate's murder]  She had some problems with her marriage, and I was hoping to work them out.

  Detective Marino : What kind of problems?

  Dr. Robert Elliott : Are you married, Detective Marino?

  Detective Marino : Yeah.

  Dr. Robert Elliott : Children?

  Detective Marino : Two sons.

  Dr. Robert Elliott : When was the last time you had intercourse with your wife?

  Detective Marino : Now what the fuck is it to you?

  Dr. Robert Elliott : That's exactly how I feel about your questions concerning Mrs Miller.

  Detective Marino : Hey, look, Doctor, we got a brutally murdered woman here, who passed the point of being embarrassed by anything you might tell me.

• Liz Blake : How the hell am I supposed to know where he is?

  Detective Marino : Well, if you can't find him, I sure can't. And anyway, you got a lot better motivation than I do: your ass.

• Dr. Robert Elliott : I'm not used to discussing a patient's case with outsiders.

  Detective Marino : I'm not an outsider. I'm a cop.

• Detective Marino : Could she have met one of these nuts at your office? I mean, some kind of weirdo she could've turned on that might have followed her?

  Dr. Robert Elliott : The term we use, Detective Marino, is not "weirdo," but a person suffering from emotional dysfunction and a problem of maladaption. And they never come to my office.

  Detective Marino : Are you sure? How about a new patient? I mean, how do you know how nuts they are until you see them?

• Detective Marino : Whoa! What kind of building is this, huh? Everybody's getting laid after lunch.

• Detective Marino : What's the matter, huh? I'm a little crude for you, huh?

  Liz Blake : That's right.

  Detective Marino : Look, Miss Blake, let's cut this shit. Huh? I got all the dope on you right here. Does this look familiar? Let me see. March 5th. Charge: disorderly conduct, solicitation for the purpose of prostitution. Arresting Officer: Duram. Apprehended at the Park Avenue Hotel. Oh, classy arrest.

  Liz Blake : Thank you.

  Detective Marino : Let's face it, you're a whore. Oh, a Park Avenue whore, but you're still a whore. *Now*, who were you fucking?

  Liz Blake : Fuck you.

  Detective Marino : No, fuck you!

• Detective Marino : Look. We got some hot-pants broad cruising around for some action. The guy she picked up went down on her in a cab, for Christ's sake. I got a blow-by-blow description from the cabby.

• Liz Blake : Why would I want to kill her?

  Detective Marino : You were there with the razor. You tell me.

  Liz Blake : I told you. There was a blonde woman in the elevator.

  Detective Marino : Yeah, except nobody else saw this blonde woman enter or leave the building. You didn't notice if she had wings, did you?

• Detective Marino : I hope you make a better hooker than you do a detective.
