Quotes 

• [talking with fiancé of a missing socialite] 

  Christopher Mayes : She went to the... store to get cigarettes. It's something she's done 100 times. Look, I... I already told the other, uh, agent all of this.

  Jack Malone : Yeah, well, sorry to inconvenience you.

• [once again, with the fiancé of a missing socialite] 

  Christopher Mayes : There wasn't anything that I really remember.

  Jack Malone : Was it because you were drinking or are you having problems with your short-term memory?

• [yet again, with the fiancé of a missing socialite] 

  Jack Malone : What's your business?

  Christopher Mayes : I'm between careers.

  Jack Malone : Which ones?

  Christopher Mayes : The one I spend pleasantly living off my inheritance, and the one where I actually find something meaningful to do.

• [Taylor thinks Christopher killed his fiancee and framed her partner] 

  Christopher Mayes : You can't prove any of this.

  Danny Taylor : I will.

• Christopher Mayes : Marry me.

  Whitney Ridder : Excuse me?

  Christopher Mayes : I'm serious.

  Whitney Ridder : Chris, we barely know each other.

  Christopher Mayes : I know how I feel. You... amaze me.

  Whitney Ridder : Why, because I know what a vizsla is?

  Christopher Mayes : It didn't hurt. Look, I don't want to spend another minute without you, it's that simple. I want you to marry me.

• Danny Taylor : You recognize that? That's the Qwik-Lok Mini-Storage.

  Jack Malone : You said you didn't see her after she left. You're a liar, Chris. You sat there and you flat-out lied to me.

  Christopher Mayes : I swear I don't know where she is.

  Danny Taylor : Well, you did the other day.

  Christopher Mayes : When she took off from the party, I didn't know where she went, honestly.

  Jack Malone : Define "honestly".

  Christopher Mayes : I mean it. She came back and she told me she ran because this guy Vohland threatened her on the phone. She told me about the fraud. She told me about the investment company. She told me that Whitney Ridder isn't her real name. She told me all of it.

  Jack Malone : So, in that moment of crystal-clear thinking, you decided to aid a fugitive. Now, that... that makes you an acessory to a crime, Chris.

  Christopher Mayes : She...

  Jack Malone : Do you understand that?

• Christopher Mayes : This is so creative, but you don't have any proof.

  Danny Taylor : Not yet, but I tracked down that call to the bellman, and it turns out that it was placed from a pay phone at a bar across the street from the hotel. So I asked myself, who calls a bellman from a payphone? Pretty smart. You needed a witness to see the two of them together. Now, Christopher, I may find your prints on that phone, I may not. But either way, I'm gonna canvass every inch of that area, and you know what the good thing about small towns is?

  Christopher Mayes : What?

  Danny Taylor : The people there, they never forget strangers. I have a feeling that somebody there is gonna remember you.

• Whitney Ridder : [covering Chris' eyes]  Guess who.

  Christopher Mayes : Hmm, I'm drawing a blank.

  Whitney Ridder : How about the fiancée you haven't seen since this party started?
