Madeleine White
- Madeliene White: Well detective, there are matters at stake here that are a little bit above your pay grade. No offense.
- Keith Frazier: Well, why don't you just tell the mayor to raise my pay grade to the proper level, and problem solved.
- Madeliene White: Well, I'd love to tell you what a monster you are, but, uh, I have to help Bin Laden's nephew buy a co-op on Park Ave.
- Arthur Case: [laughing] If that were true, you wouldn't tell me.
- Madeliene White: [turning to leave] We're listing you as a reference.
- [They are discussing Dalton Russell]
- Keith Frazier: What do you think he's going to do?
- Madeliene White: Well, he's not gonna kill anyone.
- Keith Frazier: How do you know?
- Madeliene White: Because he's not a murderer.
- Keith Frazier: How do you know? I got news for you. Most of the guys up in Sing Sing weren't murderers until they killed somebody.
- Keith Frazier: You got a card, in case I need to call you?
- Madeliene White: [smiles sweetly] Please don't take this personally, but no. I don't think you can afford me.
- Keith Frazier: Well, don't take this personally, Miss White. Kiss my black ass, okay?
- Madeliene White: Careful, Detective. My bite is much worse than my bark.
- Mayor: [speaking cordially with Madeline] I always have time to put on a tux and eat free food for a good cause. Who are saving this week?
- Madeliene White: Well, I'm doing a round of support for the Joseph Freidkin Memorial Fund for spinal cord research and we're having our annual fundraiser next month. If you could attend, it would give us such a boost.
- [the Mayor and Madeline walk through double doors into an empty, private room]
- Mayor: It would be my pleasure. Is there anything else I can do to...
- [the double doors close, giving the Mayor and Madeline privacy]
- Mayor: [turning very hostile immediately] What the fuck do you want?
- Madeliene White: A favor.
- Mayor: No shit. Which kind?
- Madeliene White: The last one I'll ever ask of you.
- Mayor: That's the kind I had in mind.
- Madeliene White: The sooner you STOP being my problem and START being my solution the better off you'll be.
- Madeliene White: You know, there's a famous saying by the Baron de Rothschild, 'When there's blood in the streets, buy property.'
