• David Rossi : [closing quote]  "When it comes to life, we spin our own yarn, and where we end up is really in fact where we always intended to be." - Julia Glass

• David Rossi : [opening quote]  "Change is the law of life, and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future." - John F. Kennedy

• David Rossi : I tried that once! The woman left her manuscript all over my house.

  Kate Callahan : Wait! She broke in?

  David Rossi : 6 times!

  Kate Callahan : Where is she now?

  David Rossi : She's doing 5 to 10.

  Kate Callahan : Oh, classy!

• Joy Struthers : [while lowering her car window]  Hey.

  David Rossi : [gives coffee]  I thought you might need this. Yesterday when I saw that you were following me, I thought it had to be a coincidence, but by today... hmm... probably not.

  Joy Struthers : It's a long story.

  David Rossi : Well, I am a writer, I hate the short ones! So what are you, a P.I.?

  Joy Struthers : Yeah, you can call me that, sure.

  David Rossi : Who do you work for?

  Joy Struthers : I can't say, my client is very secretive.

  David Rossi : Well, you can't be with the I.R.S., my accountant would have called.

  Joy Struthers : Look...

  David Rossi : Can't be with the State Department. S spy would know better that to leave her target's dossier on the front seat!

  Joy Struthers : Yeah, right

  [and moves the dossier to the car floor] 

  David Rossi : And I know you don't work for my cigar guy because he makes all of his deliveries straight to my door. So why don't you tell whoever it is that if they want to discuss something, they should get out of the sandbox and call me themselves!

  Joy Struthers : Got it.

  David Rossi : Now, most people would ask for their coffee back, but being a gentleman... c'est la vie! Oh, and uh, get yourself an earpiece! Those things will give you brain cancer!

• David Rossi : [On the phone]  Penelope? I need you to get some intel.

  Penelope Garcia : Oh, like Nancy Drew style or Jason Bourne? Or I can do a ratio. I can do like 27% Nancy, 53% Jason, and...

  David Rossi : Well, whatever you think is appropriate! I am being followed.

  Penelope Garcia : What? Like a stalker?

  David Rossi : No, P.I. I just got to find out who she's working for. Maybe someone I put away or could be a crazy fan.

  Penelope Garcia : OMG! You have a groupie! You're officially a rock star!

  David Rossi : Yeah, right.
