Detective Marty: Can you try not to sound like a lunatic for five minutes?
Detective Rust: We're in the business of catching killers, Marty. We are lunatics.
Detective Marty: I'm in the business of keeping the peace. You're in the business of philosophy.
Detective Rust: Same thing. Peace is just the space between wars.
Detective Marty: Jesus, Rust. Save it for the college kids.
Detective Rust: You think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted it. I was born in it.
