Quotes

• Leo: Rule number one: there's no logic to what a person will do when they're tying to cover up a crime. There's a panic-reaction factor that sets in.

Mick: Yeah? You know that from personal experience, Leo?

Leo: What the hell does that mean?

Mick: Nothing. I'm..., you know, just giving you the gears, man.

Leo: Well, pardon if that isn't funny. And I don't like the inference.

• Regan: Where the hell are you exactly on this alcohol killer case?

Leo: Oh, that's nothing but a dead end.

Regan: Then why is Patricia Da Vinci asking for our paperwork on it now?

Leo: Hell if I know.

Regan: You know, that woman's becoming as big a pain in the ass as her ex.
