Will Dormer
- Will Dormer: You don't get it do you, Finch? You're my job. You're what I'm paid to do. You're about as mysterious to me as a blocked toilet is to a fucking plumber. Reasons for doing what you did? Who gives a fuck?
- Ellie Burr: Nobody needs to know. You didn't mean to do it, and I know that, even if you don't.
- [She tries to throw the shell casing into the water, but he stops her]
- Will Dormer: No, don't...
- Ellie Burr: Why?
- Will Dormer: Don't lose your way.
- Will Dormer: Randy, this whole thing you're doing, you know, this "fuck the world" act. Now that might work with your mama. It might even work with a couple of these local cops, who have known you long enough to figure you're too dumb ever to kill anyone without leaving a couple of witnesses and a signed confession. Ain't gonna work with me, because I know things, you understand? I know you beat your girlfriend. I know she was seeing somebody else. Somebody she might have even gone to see after she walked out on you Friday night. Now, you're gonna tell us who that somebody might be? Or are you so fucking stupid, you're going to leave yourself as the last person to see Kay Connell alive?
- [Going through the menu in a restaurant]
- Hap Eckhart: We got the Halibut Calabrese, the Halibut Olympian.
- Will Dormer: Keep going.
- Hap Eckhart: Halibut Cajun style.
- Will Dormer: I can't wait to see what they got for dessert.
- Will Dormer: We better find out where this came from.
- Ellie Burr: I tried. Mrs. Connell doesn't know, her friends didn't know.
- Will Dormer: Have you tried the jewelry stores? Small things, remember? The second you're about to dismiss something, think about it. Look at it again.
- Ellie Burr: Want me to write that down?
- Will Dormer: No, I'll remember it.
- Will Dormer: You shouldn't knock misdemeanors.
- Ellie Burr: Oh, but it's small stuff. It gets so boring.
- Will Dormer: It's all about small stuff. You know, small lies, small mistakes. People give themselves away, same in misdemeanors as they do on murder cases. It's just human nature. Aren't you gonna write that down?
- Ellie Burr: So, I'm gonna just take you guys over to the lodge, and...
- Will Dormer: Just take us to the station.
- Ellie Burr: Right. We need to get started. Most homicides are solved by work done in the first 72 hours.
- Will Dormer: Well, it's 48 hours. We're a day behind. But who's counting?
- [first lines]
- Hap Eckhart: There's just nothing down there. Nothing. I haven't seen a building in, like, 20 minutes. Look at that.
- Will Dormer: We're not on vacation, Hap. Remember?
- Tanya Francke: [after being pressured for information] Are you happy now, you fucking asshole?
- Will Dormer: Okay, you did good honey, I'll let you drive. You want to drive?
- Hap Eckhart: But you're clean, Will.
- Will Dormer: I'm a good cop, yeah. But there's always something they could use to get at your credibility.
