Crew: After Garcia sees Erin's message on the mirror in the "Big Sugar" yacht he says "That girl is crazy." As he is exiting the bathroom, it is possible to see the reflection of a crewmember in the side mirror. GEOG: When Erin looks at a telephone bill she took from Rita's house, it lists a telephone number for Jupiter, FL in the 315 area code.

Erin Grant: I can't still be working here when I go to court. "Oh yes your honor; I found a new job... I'm working at the Eager Beaver!" Erin Grant: Well, up until 8 weeks ago, I worked for the FBI Miami... secretary... until I got fired for having a defective husband. Malcolm Moldowsky: I am the Congressman's right hand. Erin Grant: You must be a very busy man. Alan Mordecai: Do you follow politics, Mr. Shad? Shad: Do I look like I follow politics? Congressman David Dilbeck: I'm about to mount this here filly! [Erin pulls out a gun] Congressman David Dilbeck: Maybe not. Erin Grant: If I come back tomorrow, can we talk more about my case? Congressman David Dilbeck: We can talk about anything you want, long as you're naked. Congressman David Dilbeck: See, I just love naked women. It's a character flaw. Darrell Grant: You got my daughter, and now you try and kill me with a ax. Malcolm Moldowsky: I don't have your daughter, you're confused! And it's "*an* ax." Darrell Grant: I'm stoned, but I ain't confused! Darrell Grant: Hey, are you that guy from Price is Right? Congressman David Dilbeck: No! I'm Congressman David Dilbeck! Darrell Grant: Congressman? No shit! Well, I steal wheelchairs, so we got a lot in common. Nico: What are you, nuts? Shad: Yeah, psycho. Delusions of invincibility combined with a strong homicidal urge. I have a kick-your-ass fetish. Shad: "Free Willy" back yet? Video Clerk: Still out. Shad: People are pigs! Sit on movies like they own 'em! Congressman David Dilbeck: [practicing in front of a mirror] Hello, Erin. My name is Congressman Dilbeck. You are... you're a beauty. [Erin enters the salon behind him; Dilbeck turns and stares] Erin Grant: Good evening. I'm Erin Grant. [Dilbeck nods dumbly] Erin Grant: [little laugh] And you must be... Congressman David Dilbeck: [stuttering] Con... Comback Dilbeck. Uh, uh, Con-Congressman, uh, Dildo. [laughs nervously] Congressman David Dilbeck: I am... Congressman David Dilbeck. And welcome, welcome. Darrell Grant: I don't need no stripper to telling me how to live! Chico: Are you Ms. Grant? Erin Grant: No, I'm Barbara Bush. Chico: [to Shad] And you are? Shad: George Bush. [about going after Erin without police backup] Shad: So we're it? A cop and a bouncer? Lt. Al Garcia: Plus two strippers and a kid. We're in great shape. Erin Grant: [after Dilbeck grabs her] Finally you take me like a man, like a... Congress man! Shad: You talk to her? Erin Grant: Darrell's phone's disconnected. I think he moved again. Shad: You know, I'd embrace the opportunity to maim his white ass up. Erin Grant: I know you would, and that's really thoughtful, but I don't think it would help my case in court if I had him attacked. Darrell Grant: [seizes Erin from behind and holds a knife to her neck] Evenin', everybody! Erin Grant: Oh, shit! Darrell Grant: Where's my little'un? Erin Grant: Where you can't get her. Darrell Grant: Is that ever the wrong answer. Now you bring her to me right now! Erin Grant: I am not bringing her to you anywere in this lifetime. Darrell Grant: Well, then I guess I'll just have to go to that nice old judge and tell him my whore of a wife has abducted... Erin Grant: Well, guess what, Darell? The judge is dead! So if you want Angela, then you're just going to have to kill me. Go on! Darrell Grant: Think I'm afraid to? You think I don't have the manliness to take your life? Erin Grant: Oh no, honey, you know what, I think you are all man. That death row lethal injection thing? Nah, come on, that's not gonna scare you! Darrell Grant: [hesitates, then] They'd never execute a daddy. Erin Grant: No? [Shad appears besides Erin's car while Darrell is holding her at knifepoint inside it] Shad: Drop the knife! You got 'til three. One... Darrell Grant: Suck my dick! Shad: Whip the little fella out. Two... Darrell Grant: [brandishes the knife at Shad] This here's a domestic squabble...! [Shad seizes his knife hand and wrenches his arm over the window jam, snapping the bone. Darrell screams] Shad: Three. Darrell Grant: You broke my arm! Shad: You sure? Malcolm Moldowsky: This is a major disaster! Major! Unbelievable! Without doubt, the most asinine piece of human behavior... Congressman David Dilbeck: It's never gonna happen again, Malcolm. I've got it under control. See, I just love naked women. It's a character flaw. And God's testing me now... Malcolm Moldowsky: Oh, will you *shut up*, you idiot! Congressman David Dilbeck: You can't talk to me like that. I'm a United States Congressman! Malcolm Moldowsky: I can't? When you go psycho in a titty bar six weeks before the election, what should I call you? Winston Fucking Churchill? Malcolm Moldowsky: We gotta move on this thing before we get eaten alive! Congressman David Dilbeck: Move on what? I mean, if this is a shakedown, just get Willie to pay him like he always does. Why drag me into it...? Malcolm Moldowsky: Because... it's not about money. Congressman David Dilbeck: It's not? Malcolm Moldowsky: No. He wants you to persuade Judge Fingerhut to reverse a child custody case, of some stripper. Congressman David Dilbeck: Who he's porking? You know, that's disgraceful! A man like me, that's disgraceful, to...! Malcolm Moldowsky: He's not porking her. Congressman David Dilbeck: [stops, uncomprehending] Well, then why... why does he care? Malcolm Moldowsky: Because he's *nuts*! That's why he's dangerous. I mean, if he was porking her, then I could talk with him, man-to-man, but this is... this is fruitcake love here. Congressman David Dilbeck: My brain has just turned to shit... Chris Rojo: Well hey, that's why you're in Congress! Congressman David Dilbeck: That doesn't look like a regular visitation, does it Erb? |
