Quotes9

  • Harry Orwell: My petty confrontation with Joe Becker may have been good for my ego but it was no help to Jennifer Roth.
  • Harry Orwell: Jennifer Roth was probably one of the top 5 attorneys in the city. She was also very attractive and fairly wealthy. For all of that, what impressed me most was her sense of justice.
  • Harry Orwell: I'd be glad to drive you out there. It'd be my pleasure.
  • Jennifer Roth: [laughs] What's the matter; you don't trust me behind the wheel of a car?
  • Harry Orwell: No, I trust you. I just think that you're a woman that's been booked and fingerprinted for the first time in her life.
  • Jennifer Roth: Do you have any burning ambitions, Harry?
  • Harry Orwell: Well, there was a time when I thought I wanted to be the chief of police. Then I found out that was a job for a politician, not a cop. When I had to leave the force, I toyed with the idea of being rich. Then I realized that most of the things I wanted were either free or didn't cost that much.
  • Jennifer Roth: What'd you settle for?
  • Harry Orwell: Oh, I don't know. Just being a guy that goes to work and tries to make a living, keeps his promises and gets a kick out of walking on the beach looking at the sunset.
  • Harry Orwell: Hello Jeannie.
  • Jean Parnell: Hey... If it isn't Handsome Harry, come to brighten my day.
  • Harry Orwell: What's the good word?
  • Jean Parnell: Depends on why you're here.
  • Harry Orwell: Why I'm here?
  • Jean Parnell: If you're here to announce that you have reservations for two on the 7:00 flight to Las Vegas and I'm the only woman in the world you want to join you, then I'm terrific. Otherwise I got a headache and my eyes hurt.
  • Harry Orwell: Well I can't make Vegas so I'll keep you in aspirins and eye drops, alright?
  • Jean Parnell: Oh, Harry, you're irresistible. What do you want?
  • Jennifer Roth: You didn't answer my question, Mr. Orwell. Do you have some reason to believe that I did not stop and rest?
  • Harry Orwell: No, no, I think you stopped. It's just that maybe "rest" isn't the right word.
  • Jennifer Roth: What would you call it?
  • Harry Orwell: Passed out?
  • Jennifer Roth: You're suggesting I have a drinking problem?
  • Harry Orwell: People that earn over $20,000 a year and drink too much have a drinking problem. Everybody else is just a drunk.
  • Jennifer Roth: You're not gonna give up, are you?
  • Harry Orwell: You want me to?
  • Lt. K.C. Trench: You alright, Orwell?
  • Harry Orwell: Huh?
  • Lt. K.C. Trench: You look a little peaked.
  • Lt. K.C. Trench: Where are you going?
  • Harry Orwell: I'm going to look for our friend Wayne.
  • Lt. K.C. Trench: As a matter of professional curiosity, how do you find a man when you have only his first name?
  • Harry Orwell: I ain't gonna tell ya.
