Jack: Great. Martin, you're on your way to San Diego to liaise with Danny.
Vivian: [to Martin] Don't forget your surf gear.
[Martin leaves.]
Vivian: Should we send a referee?
Jack: Nah, let 'em duke it out.

Jack: Hey, Frankie. How you doing?
Frankie: Ah, bum knee, too much alimony...Other than that, I'm peachy.

Jack: I know about the other boy.
Graham Spaulding: What other boy?
Jack: This kid. The young, scrawny, frightened, lonely kid. The kid who only wanted love and approval. I know his pain. I know that boy.
Graham Spaulding: Do you?
Jack: Yes. I do. And I know that you want to put that boy out of his misery. You know, Graham, your father wasn't a strong man. He wasn't supportive man. He was a weak, cowardly, sadistic bastard. I know he used to touch you and I know you used to beg him to stop.
Graham Spaulding: You believe whatever you want. You don't know anything about my father.

Jack: I meant what I said before, Graham. You care about these kids. That's why you took Andy under your wing. He was confused, vulnerable. You were the only one who understood him.
Graham Spaulding: Is that right?
Jack: I think so. But then he turned on you, didn't he? I know how that feels. Know how...painful that can be. You pour yourself into someone--your time, energy, and devotion. You give them everything they need to grow and then they just abandon you.
Graham Spaulding: Are you speaking from experience?
Jack: Sure. You love someone...you make love to someone...you give your life to them and then they don't even look at you.

Jack: I was surprised that your father didn't call me about you.
Martin: I asked him to stay out of it. I don't want any preferential treatment.
Jack: Good, 'cause you're not getting any.

Jack: Look, I've worked hundreds of these cases and certain patters develop. Now, I may not like the pattern, but I can't ignore them. You want to know what those patterns are? When a child goes missing, whoever claims to have seen them last is usually the one that took them; and if that person happens to be one of the parents, the incidence doubles. Now my gut says you're okay, but I don't know you. I'm trying to get to know you so that I can help you, but I can't help you unless you earn my trust.

Jack: So what are you thinking?
Danny: He's got an ex-con working for him. Maybe this whole Laundromat, dry-cleaner thing is a front.
Jack: For what?
Danny: I don't know. Drugs, diamonds...illegal ferrets...

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: 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: 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]

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.
