Quotes edit
-
“I feel so…powerless. Do you have any idea what that feels like? Probably not. You don’t look like you’ve ever been scared of anything.” “Crying women scare me.” “Lucky for you I used up all my tears months ago.” “Plenty of things scare me. Pregnant women scare me.” “I’m getting the impression that women, in any form, scare you.” “They’re the more violent species. And unpredictable. I’d rather take on a wild boar. You can’t shoot women.”
Sarah Daniels, Garrett -
“You have a big family?” “You could say that. There’s my mom and dad. I have five brothers. I also have two sisters-in-law, one of whom is ready to pop out a kid any day now. Then there’s my mom’s adopted chicks. Her most recent find is a surly-ass teenage girl who she’s determined to keep on the straight and narrow. My brothers and I have given up and wished Ma luck.” “Aren’t all teenage girls surly?” “Hell, I don’t know. They’re all deranged, if you ask me. What about you?” “I’m pretty sure I was deranged at sixteen.” “Smart-ass.”
Sarah, Garrett -
“I’m sort of taking a breather right now. I’m thinking of a career change. Maybe something a little less… stressful, as you put it. Maybe teaching. Something with kids. I’m kind of tired of adults.” “Oh hell, and you think teaching’s less stressful? My mom and sister-in-law used to teach. I never figured out how they survived that with their sanity intact.” “Let me guess. You’re scared of children too?” “Not scared. Cautious. Maybe a little apprehensive. Okay, terrified. I mean, they’re terrorists disguised as cute little people.”
Sarah, Garrett -
“She looked about fourteen months’ pregnant when I left.” “Dude, you’re on speakerphone.” “Oh fuck. She didn’t hear that, did she?” “She might have just started crying, and Sam is threatening to kick your ass.”
Garrett, Van -
“Is there anything I can do to make it better?” “You could have the baby for me.” “Oh hell no.” she laughed. “What a baby. You took a bullet without whining.” “Yeah, well that’s different.”
Garrett, Sophie -
“Okay, granted I’m no expert on having babies, but are you sure this baby isn’t coming soon? Those contractions seem to be awfully close together.” “They’re irregular. Some are close. Others are spaced ten to fifteen minutes apart.” “And you’re relying on the kid to realize they’re supposed to be regular? I’m going to kill Sam for this. I took a bullet for you. He should at least have to be here for the delivery.” “Trust you to prefer the bullet.”
Garrett, Sophie -
“Do I have time for a quick shower before we have this talk?” “I’ll give you five minutes and then we meet back here in this room.” “Five minutes? It’s obvious you’re not married and have probably never lived with a woman. You don’t give a woman five minutes to take a shower.” “Five minutes or I come in after you. They start now.”
Sarah, Garrett -
“You tell her I’m coming for her, Resnick. You tell her there’s no way in hell I’m letting her go. Don’t you dare let her think I deserted her.” “Yeah, yeah, I’ll tell her all that mushy shit. Jesus, man. You and your brothers are driving me insane with the women.”
Garrett, Resnick -
“What the fuck are you going to Boston for?” “A little unfinished business.” “Shit. Don’t call me to bail your asses out of jail.”
Sam, Garrett -
“You’ll always come first. You and our children. Is there risk involved in my work? Hell, yes, and it’s a lot to ask you take on. But for every mission I take, the goal is going to be the same. Coming home to you. Always.”
Gerrett
