- Nick Starkey: Ed, I think it'd be best if you don't come in the apartment.
- Ed: You got it. I'm an artist. I'll watch the woman.
- Ed: [in reference to Susan Sarandon's character Christine Starkey] The world is either great or wretched, isn't it? So many people are just... finished.
- Bernadette Flynn: Y'think, huh?
- Mayor Eamon Flynn: Who do you think you're talking to? Jesus Christ! Who the fuck do you think you're talking to? You think I'm your wife? You wanna fuck me? Don't mess with me! You mess with me and you better have a goddamn sense of humor the size of Lake Michigan to find something to laugh about. And if I send you a rubber duck to work with that is the news. Can you understand that? Oh! Do you understand?
- [Nick is struggling with the killer]
- Nick Starkey: Listen, stop kicking me. I hate that.
- [the killer kicks him again]
- Nick Starkey: I told you to stop that! You're not gettin' away, why don't you just fuckin' accept it?
- [after Nick has broken down an apartment door]
- Woman: Where's my door?
- Bernadette Flynn: On the floor.
- Nick Starkey: Frank, I got one thing to say to you, and it's hard but I gotta say it. And if you can accept it, a lot of other shit's gonna fall into place. Frank, Mom loved me more than you. That's why I took the fall for you, Frank.
- Frank Starkey: I wish you'd just fuckin' die.
