Dialogue

Hap Eckhart: We got the Halibut Calabrese, the Halibut Olympian. Will Dormer: Keep going. Hap Eckhart: Halibut Cajun style. Will Dormer: I can't wait to see what they got for dessert.

Dialogue

Hap Eckhart: You think there have been others? Will Dormer: No, but there's gonna be. This guy crossed the line and he didn't even blink. You don't come back from that.

Dialogue

Det. Ellie Burr: So, I'm gonna just take you guys over to the lodge, and... Will Dormer: Just take us to the station. Det. Ellie Burr: Right. We need to get started. Most homicides are solved by work done in the first 72 hours. Will Dormer: Well, it's 48 hours. We're a day behind. But who's counting?

Dialogue

Will Dormer: You shouldn't knock misdemeanors. Det. Ellie Burr: Oh, but it's small stuff. It gets so boring. Will Dormer: It's all about small stuff. You know, small lies, small mistakes. People give themselves away, same in misdemeanors as they do on murder cases. It's just human nature. Aren't you gonna write that down?

Dialogue

Will Dormer: We better find out where this came from. Det. Ellie Burr: I tried. Mrs. Connell doesn't know, her friends didn't know. Will Dormer: Have you tried the jewelry stores? Small things, remember? The second you're about to dismiss something, think about it. Look at it again. Det. Ellie Burr: Want me to write that down? Will Dormer: No, I'll remember it.

Dialogue

Walter Finch: Killing changes you. It's not guilt — I never meant to do it. It's, like, awareness. Life is so important, how can it be so fucking fragile? Will Dormer: You trying to impress me, Finch? Because you've got the wrong guy. You think killing that girl makes you special, but you're not. You're the same distorted, pathetic freak I've been dealing with for 30 years. Do you how many of you I've caught with their pants down? Walter Finch: [indignantly] I never touched her like that! Will Dormer: But you wanted to, and now you wish you had. The best you could do was clip her nails.

Dialogue

Det. Ellie Burr: "A good cop can't sleep because he's missing a piece of the puzzle. And a bad cop can't sleep because his conscience won't let him." You said that. Will Dormer: I did? Sounds like something I'd say, don't it?

Dialogue

Will Dormer: Where is she, Finch? Walter Finch: She's here and knows you shot Eckhart. Will Dormer: Where's the dress? Walter Finch: What dress? Will Dormer: Ellie's! Kay's! Walter Finch: She's alive, Will. Ellie!

Dialogue

Ellie Burr: Don't move! You shot Detective Eckhart and Finch saw you do it. Did you mean to shoot Hap? Will Dormer: I don't know anymore. I couldn't see him in the fog. But when I got there, he was afraid of me. He thought I meant to do it. So maybe I did. I just don't know anymore.

Dialogue

Det. Ellie Burr: Nobody needs to know. You didn't mean to do it, and I know that, even if you don't. Will Dormer: No, don't... Det. Ellie Burr: Why? Will Dormer: Don't lose your way.
