Rush

Jim Raynor: [about Kristen] She's got an edge to her, don't she? Larry Dodd: Jimmy, the girl ran track somewhere, man. That doesn't mean you want her watching your back. Look it, Nettle ain't going to want to throw her in with you. First thing he'll think is you'll bang her. You know how he is about that. Second thing he thinks is if she gets hurt, how's that make the department look? Throwing a little girl like that into the world. Man, I can just hear what he's going to say. Jim Raynor: She looks stout to me.

Larry Dodd: You don't have to do this, you know. Kristen Cates: I know. Larry Dodd: It isn't going to be the way you think it is. It gets ugly. Kristen Cates: Yes sir, I know. Larry Dodd: No, you don't know. You get ugly with it. [pause] What d'you ever wanna do this for, anyway? Kristen Cates: Seems like a chance to make a difference. Larry Dodd: I'll tell you what's gonna be different. You. Larry Dodd: Miss Cates, this is Jim Raynor. He was pretty himself once.

Jim Raynor: [about the heater] Broke in Montana. I kept meaning to get it fixed, then I came down here, where it's warm, and I lost my motivation. Kristen Cates: Is that where you're from, Montana? Jim Raynor: The eastern part. The Big Empty. And now, I'm from Caddo Lake, Texas. Kristen Cates: Were you a narc up there too? Jim Raynor: Ruins you for everything else. Jim Raynor: That's probably not a joke.

Jim Raynor: It's a long haul, and you hate yourself most of the way. Kristen Cates: Is that how you live? Jim Raynor: No. It's simpler than that for me. But then I got low self-esteem.

Jim Raynor: Gotta do something about your hair. Kristen Cates: What? Jim Raynor: Quit washin' it. There are some things we gotta talk over. Kristen Cates: Okay. Jim Raynor: We buy drugs. Larry Dodd gives us the money. And he's the only one we ever talk to in the whole department. To everybody else, we're junkies. What that means is if we get into something, we ain't gonna call in no "Officer assist" to get out. Our "Officer assist" is each other. So, what I'm saying is when you come into this it can't be halfway. Kristen Cates: I didn't think it was. Jim Raynor: You know what you're doin'? Kristen Cates: Yeah. Jim Raynor: Gotta be able to lie better than that. Kristen Cates: I can do what it takes.

Jim Raynor: You wanna try to light that up? Jim Raynor: You do that on the street, I guarantee you're fucked. You're fucked. And I'm fucked with you, 'cause we're partners. Kristen Cates: It's simulation. Jim Raynor: Simulation's something you say in court. Outside the court we're here to buy dope. You go in thinkin' these people are stupid, it'll get you hurt, and me hurt with you. That's what happens when the shit comes down. One of us is fucked, we both are. And that's what this is about. You and me. 'Cause people find out what we do, I mean either side, the DA or the dealers, it's over. Over. All we got is each other. Kristen Cates: All right.
