- [Cal finds a reporter friend of his dead and the FBI shows up when he calls the cops. They tell him they'd heard she'd been digging up dirt on a councilman]
- Dr. Cal Lightman: What about the councilman?
- Agent Ben Reynolds: Anslinger's not just anyone. He's an ex-cop and a shoe-in to be mayor. This may be a friend of yours but you can't just go barge into the man's office and accuse him of murder.
- Dr. Cal Lightman: Did you tell him to say that?
- Asac Dillon: First and foremost Agent Reynolds works for me Dr. Lightman.
- Dr. Cal Lightman: So you're telling me I can't go look the man in the eye?
- Asac Dillon: And do what?
- Dr. Cal Lightman: You must be jokin'.
- Beau Hackman: I killed that woman journalist... I mean I'm why she was in that hotel room to begin with.
