The Tall Man (2018)

Dan Gauthier: Ethan Howard

Quotes 

• Ethan Howard : What in the world is this? Seriously.

  Jennifer Jareau : Ethan, I am so sorry.

  Ethan Howard : This is ridiculous. They seem to think I've hurt those girls or something.

  Jennifer Jareau : I know. It's just we have a warrant for your house. And they've already pulled your computer.

  David Rossi : [watching outside]  Is that...?

  Emily Prentiss : No, she's bluffing.

  David Rossi : That's a hell of a bluff. Guys like him keep souvenirs, usually on computers.

  Ethan Howard : Did you see what was on it?

  Jennifer Jareau : I did.

• Ethan Howard : Were you able to buy me more time?

  Jennifer Jareau : No. No, I didn't. You put my sister in your trophy case because she was just another one of your trophies.

  Ethan Howard : No, no. No, that's not... that's not true. I didn't...

  Jennifer Jareau : [roughly standing him up and cuffing him]  Roslyn probably wasn't your first victim. But Bethany... she will be your last.

• Ethan Howard : Jennifer Jareau. Is that you?

  Jennifer Jareau : Well, how are you, Mr. Howard?

  Ethan Howard : I'm good. I'm good. Listen, you graduated, you can call me Ethan.

  Jennifer Jareau : I heard you got promoted. Can't believe you're not the guidance counselor anymore.

  Ethan Howard : Oh, I'm still the guidance counselor. Yeah, I'm also the A.P. English teacher, and some kids actually think I'm principal.

  Jennifer Jareau : [they briefly share a laugh]  So, did you get my message?

  Ethan Howard : I did. And I pulled all the kids that Bethany and Chelsea were linked in with.

  Jennifer Jareau : Great.

  Ethan Howard : This way.

• Ethan Howard : What Roslyn and I had, it was... it was different. All right? I mean, we... really loved each other.

  Jennifer Jareau : I know.

  [showing him Roslyn's necklace] 

  Jennifer Jareau : Roz gave this to me because she wanted me to know how special you were to her. You know who else is special? Bethany. Look, you don't have to tell me where she is, but you got to give me something so I can buy you a little more time.

  Ethan Howard : She's where I keep all the kids that are special to me.

  Jennifer Jareau : I'll be right back.

  Ethan Howard : You meant it, right? About Roz? She loved me?

  Jennifer Jareau : [coldly closing the door, to the others]  She's at the school.
