Quotes 

• Erich Blunt : [Inspectors Mulligan & English got a couple of questions for Blunt]  I've got a minute.

  Hildy Mulligan : Great. So, are you sure you've never seen this guy before?

  Erich Blunt : Like I said, I meet a lot of people.

  Hildy Mulligan : Great, but that doesn't really answer my questions, so...

  Erich Blunt : All right, yeah. Yeah, I've seen him. Chances are Kevin Neyers is my biological father. I'm adopted. I was curious, Jimmy Salter and I, we did some research and we neared down at this guy. I went to meet him a couple of months ago. I thought it might have some meaning. Maybe answer some existential questions. You saw how he lives. Kevin Neyers was my sperm doner and nothing more. So i gave him some money and said goodbye, but I guess he figured out who I was, found my e-mail address and started asking for more.

  Hildy Mulligan : He threatened you to go public.

  Erich Blunt : To annunce to the world that he is my father? Do you think anybody cares?

  Terry English : Well, maybe you care.

  Erich Blunt : No. No, I don't. If anything, it's kinda funny. I mean, my dad was a junkie and two-bit con and my mom was a whore and an addict. And here I am, on my way to my private jet. America. What a country.

  Hildy Mulligan : So, why didn't you tell us any of this before then?

  Erich Blunt : You didn't ask.

  Hildy Mulligan : Oh. Ok, well, I don't wanna make the same mistake twice then. Mr Blunt, did you kill Kevin Neyers?

  David Hertzberg : Ok, thank you. Erich, you don't have to answer to that question.

  Erich Blunt : Relax, David. I didn't kill him, that's ridiculous and they know it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go to LA, I have another prick trying to blackmail me, so...

  Terry English : What does this one want?

  Erich Blunt : My integrity. So, if you wanna arrest me for murder, stick around. I'll be back before dinner.

• David Hertzberg : Sorry? What is this?

  Hildy Mulligan : Hi.

  Erich Blunt : Inspectors Mulligan and English, S.F.P.D.

  Jimmy Salter : They got a couple of questions.

  David Hertzberg : OK. Well, I'm sorry, we are running a bit late. I'm his attorney. Here's my number. Call me in my office, we'll set up a meeting.

  Terry English : OK, well, this only will be a few moments. Or you can come down to 850 Bryant Street, if you prefer.
