Kiss the Girls1997

Detective Nick Ruskin:
How are you feeling, by the way? You feel like you're getting back on your feet?

Dr. Kate McTiernan:
I guess if I felt solid anywhere it should be in this house. I've been in it one way or another my whole life. It was my great aunt's. But I don't know. It's just different now. Something's off. I used to walk in the middle of the night down to the corner market for a quart of milk.

Detective Nick Ruskin:
That's true. I mean, people just get complacent. It happens.

Dr. Kate McTiernan:
Would you please hand me the big chopping knife.

Detective Nick Ruskin:
The department gives courses of self-defense.

Dr. Kate McTiernan:
I've been thinking about spending more time at the dojo.

Detective Nick Ruskin:
Kick boxing's fine, but that's not what I mean. I'm talking prevention. We teach things like, uh, varying your routine. Keeping your lights on at night. Maybe getting a dog. I'm sorry. Does this bother you?

Dr. Kate McTiernan:
It's good. I need to hear it.

Detective Nick Ruskin:
Just simple things like, um, carrying personal alarms. Taking your garbage out the morning of. Not using cordless phones. Anyone with a scanner can listen in.

Dr. Kate McTiernan:
What does taking your garbage out the morning of have to do with anything?

Detective Nick Ruskin:
Night before, anyone can tear through it.

Dr. Kate McTiernan:
Who in the world possibly cares how much tuna I eat?

Dr. Kate McTiernan:
Would you rinse this for me, please?

Detective Nick Ruskin:
Think about it. A guy could come by, say, Tuesday night, 3 in the morning, dump your trash in one of those 30-gallon plastic sacks. Haul it down to an abandoned lot and bingo! There it is. What a lady eats, how often she shaves. He can even tell a lady's time of the month. Anything you want to know. What kind of lipstick she wears, and used condoms. How often's she gettin' it? Twice a week? Three times? The same guy, different guys?

Detective Nick Ruskin:
Of course, that doesn't apply to you. Let's face it. In your case, it's been quite awhile. Not since that, that surgeon. What? Six, seven months ago? You were special, Kate. Do you have any idea how much time I gave you? Months. Yes, months. I sacrificed for you, but now I'm going to show you sacrifice. What are you going to do? Are you going to cut me? Do it!

Detective Nick Ruskin:
Good girl.
