Quotes:

Woody: You don't seem surprised?
Kessler: I get lots of fan mail.  People dream of doing what I did.
Jordan: Fellow psychopaths.

Kessler: I work alone detective.  Guarantee no mistakes.
Jordan: Well judging by the stylish jumpsuit you're wearing, I'd say you made at least one.

Woody: Then how does the killer know so much about your crimes.
Kessler: You're asking me to do your job detective?
Woody: Why don't you go back to rotting in your hell.

Kessler: (to Woody and Jordan) You two are more than colleagues aren't you?

Woody: (sees Pollack, to Jordan) Do you want to wrangle him? Or shall I?

Pollack: I heard there's a Ryan Kessler copycat on the lose.  Is it true?
Jordan: No comment.
Pollack: Aww, come on babe a Ryan Kessler story is like front page gold.

Kessler: Where's your colleague?
Woody: 'Fraid you're stuck with me.

Kessler: And there's one more thing.
Jordan: She wants me to go?
Woody: seems our serial killer's taken a real shine to you.  What a surprise.

Kessler: Beautiful day for a drive.
Woody: How's the tracking device.  A little tight I hope.

Kessler: Jordan it's nice to see you again.
Jordan: I'm not here because of your invite. I've got a job to do.

Jordan: Oh no.
Woody: Jordan!
Jordan: I didn't call him!

Kessler (to Woody as they watch Jordan and Pollack kiss): I guess I was wrong about the two of you.

Jordan: Nothing like cutting someone open and seeing the green tobacco stains in their lungs to help you kick the habit.

Kessler: That's all men are really good for isn't it.
Jordan: That and playing out your sadistic fantasies.

Nigel: No...I just appreciate a killer with a clear rational.  What?!

Kessler: Haven't you ever hated someone enough to want to kill them.
Jordan: I supposed so.  It's just never really occurred to me to act on it.
Kessler: Why not?
Jordan: Well...fear of eternal damnation...hell fire...

Jordan: Don't pretend that you know me.
Kessler: You've had a lot of men in your life, but you keep things casual.  You have sex, let them sleep over, but it's a false sense of intimacy.  You never really let anyone in.  But you're right.  I don't really know you.

Bug: What chocolate?
Nigel: The chocolate of all chocolates.  Literally the food of the gods.

Bug: Great.  We're looking for Willy Wanka.

Garret: Okay Jordan the gang's all here.
Jordan: Glad to see I'm not the only one logging overtime.
Bug: At least you're out of the office.
Jordan: Yeah well next time you try spending 24 hours with a psycho.  Not exactly a vacation.  I'm telling you this woman is a real head case.  She thinks that a lying father is justification for murder.  Imagine if I took that point of view.
Garret: Well you're not a psycho Jordan.
Bug: Well...maybe not in that way.

Jordan: That's some serious rage.
Woody: She's one bitter gal all right.  Come on it's late.  Let me drive you back to the motel.
Jordan: If it wasn't...3:45 in the morning I'd say lets just stop for a beer.
Woody: Yeah, that's what mini bars are for.

Woody: So you and Pollack.  How's that going?
Jordan: Oh, it's...going.

Woody: How did he get in here in the first place.  I have half a dozen cops forty feet away.
Jordan: Exactly.  No one was guarding me.

Pollack: If I hadn't shown up when I did.
Jordan: About that.  How did you find me?.
Pollack: I'm a reporter.  You don't think I can get a call traced?
Jordan: Oh nice, so this was all about the story.
Pollack: Oh don't play holier than thou with me.  I was standing in your office when you supposedly were working late.

Pollack: Come on Jordan I'm taking you home.
Jordan: I'm not leaving.  If we don't catch this guy with in twenty-four hours two more guys are going to end up dead.
Pollack: Better them than you!  A little help here mate?
Woody: She's you're girlfriend mate.

Woody: (to Pollack) If you print a word of this we're going to have every looky-loo from here to Kalamazoo tailing us.

Bug: And hopefully stop him before he kills again.
Nigel: If we're lucky.  We've got till happy hour.

Nigel: I'll run him against the photos of the other  employees.  See while the face can be altered cosmetically, the iris, mouth center...(goes on to give long description of how he's finding the person) Bug: Nigel.
Nigel: Hum?
Bug: I know.

Bug: What they have bars behind bars?

Jordan: I thought you'd be long gone by now?
Kessler: Me too.

Jordan: You already have the gun.  You do it yourself.

Jordan: So you're going to kill me just to prove that you can't?
Kessler: No.  I want you to kill me.
Jordan: What!

Jordan: You already have the gun.  You do it yourself.

Jordan: No.  You want to die that's one thing, but I am not a murderer.
Kessler: I told you Jordan.  Anyone can be under the right circumstances.

Woody: Is Pollack going to be ok?
Jordan: Yeah I think so.
Woody: Good.

Jordan: You took a big risk diving out of the way like that.
Pollack: I wasn't sure if you were going to fire.
Jordan: Oh what did you think I was just going to let her shot you in the head?
Pollack: I guess you're not the only one with trust issues.

Kessler: You missed.
Jordan: No.  I didn't.  Like I told you.  I'm not like you.

Woody: I'm going with Kessler.  I'm not letting that animal out of my sight untill she's back in her cage.
