- Angelica: Come on McCall, lets make love with the shades open and give a few of your yuppy neighbours a thrill.
- Robert McCall: [McCall giggles] Mmm, Angelica do you say these sort of thing... purely out of shock value, or are you truly and really perverted.
- Angelica: Let me be the first to disappoint you, you are as bad as everybody else.
- Police Lieutenant: The a... the thing that I'm trying to explain to you. Consider the circumstances.
- Eleanor Griffith: What... I don't understand... what, are the circumstances?
- Police Lieutenant: There's a good chance that your daughter left of her own accord. And if that is the case, she's not missing so there's no one to find.
- Eleanor Griffith: Well that's not what happened.
- Police Lieutenant: This city attracts young girls from all over the world. Mrs Griffiths, they come here and... and get swept away.
- Eleanor Griffith: No my Edie did not get swept away.
- Police Lieutenant: It happens two hundred times a week.
- Eleanor Griffith: Don't tell me that, you don't know Edie. She didn't just get up on her first day in New York and run away, that's ludicrous. Tell him.
- Police Lieutenant: Go back to Duluth and wait. She'll call when she's ready to come home.
- Eleanor Griffith: [Incredulous] What are you saying? Wait, are you trying to tell me I come to New York on a vacation with my daughter, she disappears and I'm supposed to go home empty handed... as if I left my umbrella in the hotel room, give it an 'oh damn' and go on? What kind of man are you?
- Robert McCall: I'm looking for a girl.
- Dana: Aren't we all.
- Robert McCall: Caldrin, I need a tour of the cesspool, so naturally I thought of you. Show it to me.
- Dana: Am I supposed to be talking to you, McCall?
- Robert McCall: No no no no no apparently I am a threat to the security of this country.
- Dana: Yeah I thought I heard something about that.
- Francis DeGraumont: Untouched, by anyone. Edie. This is a very good friend of mine, and I want you to er...
- [kisses Edie]
- Francis DeGraumont: treat him right.
- Edie Griffith: Please don't, I wanna go home. Please.
- Francis DeGraumont: Nice, eh. Just look at her.
- Mediterranean Man: But we had a deal.
- Francis DeGraumont: We did. The price was set. Aw you can still have something for that price, but er, not Edie. No, not her.
- Mediterranean Man: How much?
- Francis DeGraumont: Times three.
- Mediterranean Man: That's a lot of money.
- Francis DeGraumont: Yeah, that's a lot of money. Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten.
- Robert McCall: So I suppose... heroes are the men who faced the most... trying situations and continue straight on. But the real hero, is the man who looks inside himself and confronts the ugliest demon his mind can create. I knew a man once. Some people called him a hero. And he fought and he er, faced dangers. He had ideals. Those Ideals lead me into anything. You see I didn't care about dying. I only cared about the cause, the cause was everything. And I fooled everybody, everybody. They all thought I was fearless, which was false. I was so frightened of showing the slightest bit of myself, the smallest amount of affection. So you see Sam, I was as frightened then, for the same degree that you are now. Only in a different way.
- [Long pause]
- Robert McCall: I was no hero. No hero. But then I suppose being a hero is not really the most important thing, is it?
