- Inspector Klaus: What are you trying to tell me? Is she Rebecca Ryan or is she not Rebecca Ryan?
- Alan McMann: I told you! There is no such person.
- Inspector Klaus: But she sat right here!
- Alan McMann: No! She thinks she's a character in a book. She thinks I'm a character in a book. She even thinks my mother is a character in a book. The woman is crazy!
- Inspector Klaus: She is not the only one.
- Alan McMann: Look, you have got to do something because the priest's death was not an accident. That bullet, and this one, were meant for Rebecca.
- Inspector Klaus: The women that does not exist...
- Alan McMann: No, of course she exists but not as Rebecca!
- Inspector Klaus: Because Rebecca does not exist.
- Alan McMann: Right!
- Inspector Klaus: Wrong!
- [throws Alan out of his office]
- Ivan Stranauvlitch: I drink to Rebecca Ryan! She's the first real woman I have met in all of France.
- Cathy Palmer: What you are feeling right now is the barrel of 357 combat magnum. This weapon can fell an elephant at a hundred yards, let alone a snake like you, at point blank... HAH!
- Cathy Palmer: ...so she disappears beneath the surface of the icy water... what happens next?
- Alan McMann: You know what happened next.
- Cathy Palmer: Yes, but we can't tell them that!
- Alan McMann: Alright. How about, he doesn't want to work anymore, so he carries her off to a turret, high in his castle, and makes mad, passionate love to her.
- [He kisses her]
- Cathy Palmer: [a pause] End of chapter!
- Kevin Palmer: I'm aware that I haven't been the best... well, the most... well, I am aware of those things.
- Cathy Palmer: What happened to your nose?
- Alan McMann: My nose? Oh... someone just tried to kill me.
- Cathy Palmer: They will stop at nothing to keep us from getting on that train.
- Cathy Palmer: [Striking an akido pose] Hah! You're lucky you're still alive.
- Alan McMann: I'm on a streak.
- Alan McMann: Don't you understand, I am trying to help you.
- Cathy Palmer: I know you're eager to help Dimitri; but this is no time to play the hero.
- [she runs off]
- Alan McMann: I am not playing the hero.
- [running after her]
- Alan McMann: You are playing the goddamn...
- [his voice trails off]
