Quotes edit see section history

  • “Would you jump in front of a maxibus for me?" "Absolutely. They don't go very fast.”
    Eve and Roarke
  • “You look at love differently because you're strong and because of where and in whom you found it. The love of your life, Eve, would never betray you or hurt you or, where it matters most, ever let you down. He accepts who you are, absolutely.

    Dr. Charlotte Mira
  • “You put that red number back on, baby, I won't be responsible for my actions." "Simmer down. I'm not strolling around naked. You never know where Summerset is skulking.”
    Roarke and Eve
  • “First rule, you go on a scene, you don't bring anything with you. No preconceptions, no conclusions. And you don't take what you see at first glance on face value. You think Feeney didn't slap me upside the head with that a few times when he was my trainer?" "I imagine he did and had plenty of bruises of his own when he hit the rock of it.”
    Eve and Roarke
