  [after listening to the tape of the murder plan] 

  Emily : [crying, while sitting in Steven's chair]  He... he said he was going to kill me. So I tried to run.

  Mohamed Karaman : [while sitting on Steven's desk]  And then he attacks you?

  Emily : Yes.

  Mohamed Karaman : What else could you do?

  [Emily looks at Karaman with gratitude] 

  Mohamed Karaman : [In Arabic]  May God be with you.

  Emily : And you as well.

• Mohamed Karaman : [after showing up unannounced to his desk at the police precinct]  I know what you're worth Mrs. Taylor and that kind of money is always a motive, I took your case a part a thousand times, then I put it back together again, there was always one piece left out on the table like a screw that didn't quite fit, the dead man had a wallet, cash and change, driver's license even a membership card to a video store but not a single key, not one, not even to his apartment.

• Bobby Fain : [referring to Steven and Emily's wealth, talking privately at the entrance to library room in the apartment]  Rich people, they're different from you and me?

  Mohamed Karaman : How's that?

  Bobby Fain : Well, for one thing, they've got a lot more money...

  Mohamed Karaman : [smirks]  Very good, Bobby.

• Mohamed Karaman : [showing up unannounced to his desk at his police precinct]  To what do I owe the pleasure?

  Emily : I have some information about my husband.

  Mohamed Karaman : Concerning?

  Emily : It seems he was in serious financial trouble and he was hiding it from me and I thought that might be a possible reason for him to...

  Mohamed Karaman : Hire someone to kill you.

  Emily : Yes.

  Mohamed Karaman : We considered him a suspect until we traced a cell phone call he made the night you were attacked. The trace led us to an automated quote system in his office, it lasted five minutes before ten to nine minutes after ten that has to be one of more cleaner alibis we've come across.
