Nick:

Catherine:

Nick:

Catherine:
No.

Nick:

Catherine:
That's right.

Nick:
Even though you were f***ing him.

Catherine:

Lt. Walker:
How did you know he was married?

Catherine:
Maybe I was just guessing. What difference does it make? Would you like a cigarette, Nick? [She lights a cigarette for herself]

Corelli:
Do you two know each other?

Nick:

Catherine:

Lt. Walker:
How did you meet Mr. Boz?

Catherine:
I wanted to write a book about the murder of a retired rock and roll star. I went down to his club. I picked him up. Then I had sex with him.

Lt. Walker:

Catherine:

Gus:
That's pretty cold, ain't it, lady?

Catherine:
I'm a writer. I use people for what I write. Let the world beware.
