- Hollis Nye: My advice to you, Ellen, is stop trying to figure Patty out. You'll never change her, but she'll change you.
- Ellen Parsons: How?
- Hollis Nye: By giving you access to how she thinks. You signed up for this, now keep your head down and do the work. That's why you're there, isn't it?
- Ellen Parsons: Yes.
- Hollis Nye: Then don't be shortsighted. Start using her. Learn everything you can, then get the hell out before it's too late.
- Ellen Parsons: How exactly will I know when that is?
- Hollis Nye: That's for another walk.
- Bearded Man: Well, there's always a solution.
- Arthur Frobisher: What kind of solution?
- Bearded Man: A permanent one.
- Arthur Frobisher: [shocked] What? Oh, God, no. What, you think that I...?
- Bearded Man: It wouldn't get back to you.
- Arthur Frobisher: We're... we're talking about a human life here. She's an innocent girl. She didn't do anything. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
- Bearded Man: Sometimes, that's enough.
- Arthur Frobisher: You're serious, aren't you? You're actually suggesting...
- Bearded Man: Look, Mr. Frobisher, you're insulated. You have resources. This kind of thing is simpler than you'd think.
- Arthur Frobisher: [trying to make a joke of it] So, how's that work? You know a guy, you make a call?
- Bearded Man: It's simpler than you think.
- Arthur Frobisher: [serious again] Yeah. Of course it is. Become powerful enough, eventually every option gets presented to you, doesn't it?
- Bearded Man: Yes, sir.
- Arthur Frobisher: One day, you're living your life, the next thing you know, some man shows up on your doorstep and offers you the ultimate decision.
- Bearded Man: And that's all it is, Mr. Frobisher... just another decision.
- Arthur Frobisher: No. You go down that road and then... you know... who are you? I mean, there's no going back. No, no, no.
- Bearded Man: Think about your family, Mr. Frobisher.
- Arthur Frobisher: Don't you tell me what - !
- Bearded Man: [interrupting] This case is going to end with someone's life being destroyed. Why should it be yours?
- [Frobisher stares at him in shock, then backs slowly away and walks off]
- Ellen Parsons: What happened with Katie? I spoke to her, Ms. Hewes. I don't believe she's lying.
- Patty Hewes: Really? Why is that?
- Ellen Parsons: Because she has no reason to.
- Patty Hewes: Don't be stupid, Ellen. Everyone's hiding something.
- Ellen Parsons: Really? So what are you hiding?
