- [about Josh Abrams' parents]
- Samantha: Just a little bit controlling.
- Jack Malone: Wonder if they let him go to the bathroom by himself.
- [to the student body dealer]
- Mace Williams: I swear to God, I didn't do anything to Mr. Abrams.
- Danny: Okay, shut up, stop swearing to god, and start telling us why you were going to run.
- [to Mace Williams drug supplier]
- Martin: All right, then... is it Mr. Blue or Mr. Panda?
- Blue Panda: It's Mr. Jackson to you.
- Danny: As in Michael? Or Stonewall?
- [sits across from Blue Panda]
- Danny: See, if I were you, I'd pick Michael, because singing works a lot better than silence around here.
- Blue Panda: Yeah, real funny. You make that up all by yourself?
- [Once again, about Josh Abrams' parents]
- Jack Malone: You didn't meet his parents. Maybe he cracked under the pressure of being Mr. Perfect, grabbed a hundred G's and jetted off to Bangkok.
- [Teri has run off to meet up with Josh]
- Samantha: What about her?
- Vivian: Well, if I'm right, she went voluntarily.
- Samantha: She's 16, Viv. It's statutory rape, it is kidnapping, and he is a fugitive.
- Vivian: She's 17 in three weeks, and if she consented to go...
- Samantha: ...without her father's permission.
- Vivian: It's a hard case to make, Sam, and you know it.
- Samantha: I don't think it's that hard.
- [after tracing Teri's location]
- Jack Malone: We'll send in the locals.
- Samantha: Jack, this is a kidnapping.
- Jack Malone: She'll be 17 in three weeks. It's a technicality.
- Samantha: This girl is damaged, okay? And she is being taken advantage of.
- Jack Malone: Look, the life she's leaving behind isn't much better with that father and that brother. What do you want to do, put her in a foster home?
- Samantha: [softly] She's just a kid.
- [Teri has run-off for good]
- Samantha: We're not going to find her, are we?
- Jack Malone: Canadian border's too hard to cover.
- Samantha: Yeah. Pretty sophisticated plan, though.
- Jack Malone: She read Hammett, right?
- Samantha: Yeah. Femme Fatale.
- Jack Malone: Yeah.
- Samantha: I ran away when I was her age.
- Jack Malone: I'm not surprised. How far did you get?
- Samantha: My mom tracked me down at the bus station the next town over.
- Jack Malone: Did you catch hell?
- Samantha: I remember when I saw her... just having someone look for me, that was enough to keep me from trying it again.
- Jack Malone: It's a good thing.
