John Benjamin Hickey: Captain Goodson

Quotes 

  • [Brenner thanks Moore's attorney, Captain Goodson, for his help with Elisabeth Campbell's medical records] 

    Brenner : [about Colonel Moore]  Now, did he instruct you to give me the medical records?

    Capt. Goodson : Well, not in so many words... but I think I knew his wishes. You know, anything that might help Elisabeth. I'm sure you know how much he loved her.

    Brenner : Not as much as he loved you.

    Capt. Goodson : [Goodson smiles]  What do you mean?

    Brenner : I don't know. It's just something about the surprise way you came in that night, the extra care he had in making dinner.

    Capt. Goodson : What do you plan on doing about it?

    Brenner : Not a thing, other than to tell you I'm sorry about Moore and to ask you for your help.

  • [Brenner asks for Captain Goodson's help with questions about Colonel Moore] 

    Brenner : I want to know about the recreation of the original rape.

    Capt. Goodson : I suppose that's what it was.

    Brenner : Was it Moore's idea to do this, to kind of cleanse her of her past?

    Capt. Goodson : Oh, no. Jesus, no. She thought it up. He couldn't talk her out of it.

    Brenner : So he felt so bad that he killed himself?

    Capt. Goodson : Look, you and I both know that's not how this happened. And that's where they screwed up, whoever did this, because they didn't know about Bob and me. Bob could no sooner have killed himself than I could pull a chicken out of my ear. But these nefarious types, they don't get that. You know, they don't understand that. Affairs of the heart. Way beyond them.
