Graham Patrick Martin: Rusty Beck

Quotes 

• Rusty Beck : Go? I don't go ANYWHERE, Lieutenant. I might as well be like a prisoner right now. Criminals have rights, suspects have rights, but witnesses don't? What kind of bullshit is that?

• Rusty Beck : I feel like m-my life is like... I just, I feel like my life is being sacrificed so that you all can have a trial.

  Lt. Louie Provenza : It's tough. We know that. That's why we wanna talk to you about all three ways to deal with these threats.

  Assistant Chief Taylor : Not three ways. Two ways.

  Lt. Louie Provenza : Three.

  Assistant Chief Taylor : No. No, no.

• Captain Sharon Raydor : I'm going to be awhile. Would you like your security detail to take you to the office or do you want to wait for me here?

  Rusty Beck : Well, uh, hanging out with dead people isn't as fun as it sounds so, yeah, maybe I'll just go and see you at the big conference about my future.

• Rusty Beck : Oh, I-I am... I am so willing. Just let me know what you need me to do and I will... I will do it.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Undergoing evaluation by a therapist.

  [pause] 

  Rusty Beck : What is it with you and the mental-health industry?

  Captain Sharon Raydor : I need to be sure that you can handle the stress.

  Rusty Beck : Handle the stress? What do you think I'm doing now? "Handle the stress." Are you kidding me?

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Okay, Rusty. This evaluation is a non-negotiable stipulation and it is for the city as well.

  [long tense pause] 

  Rusty Beck : Okay. Fine. Fine. I will be evaluatied by a stupid therapist, but can I make a... what, what do you call it? A stipulation of my own?

  Captain Sharon Raydor : And that would be...?

  Rusty Beck : I will be evaluated IF... it is by someone who understands my most important issue right now. And... and someone who is willing to deal with that issue.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : So you would like a therapist who's... who's willing t... t... talk... you... a therapist who's willing to...

  Rusty Beck : My God, Sharon, how hard can it be to say? What is the one thing about me that everyone around here knows? I want a therapist who can play chess, Sharon - and really good chess, too. Not just, like, chess from the '80s.

• Rusty Beck : I'm only agreeing to do this because I love you. You know that, right?
