- Monte Rissell: You know what? I don't think I'm interested.
- Bill Tench: Fine. You want to diddle around, we'll walk out of here. We'll go have a nice, leisurely lunch wherever the fuck we want, and then take the picturesque drive back to Quantico. What's the rest of your day look like?
- Monte Rissell: Cancer. It's, uh... It's a bitch, man. Yeah, it's hard on a human being. So I let her go. It's, uh... It's a weird feeling, man.

- Housewife: Oh! I didn't realize you were still in the house.

- Housewife: Of course they do. That makes sense.

- Bill Tench: Murderers with multiple victims. To better understand why you do what you do.
- Monte Rissell: I'd like to know, too.
