Tom Felton: Erich Blunt

Quotes 

• Erich Blunt : [Inspectors Mulligan & English got a couple of questions for Blunt]  I've got a minute.

  Hildy Mulligan : Great. So, are you sure you've never seen this guy before?

  Erich Blunt : Like I said, I meet a lot of people.

  Hildy Mulligan : Great, but that doesn't really answer my questions, so...

  Erich Blunt : All right, yeah. Yeah, I've seen him. Chances are Kevin Neyers is my biological father. I'm adopted. I was curious, Jimmy Salter and I, we did some research and we neared down at this guy. I went to meet him a couple of months ago. I thought it might have some meaning. Maybe answer some existential questions. You saw how he lives. Kevin Neyers was my sperm doner and nothing more. So i gave him some money and said goodbye, but I guess he figured out who I was, found my e-mail address and started asking for more.

  Hildy Mulligan : He threatened you to go public.

  Erich Blunt : To annunce to the world that he is my father? Do you think anybody cares?

  Terry English : Well, maybe you care.

  Erich Blunt : No. No, I don't. If anything, it's kinda funny. I mean, my dad was a junkie and two-bit con and my mom was a whore and an addict. And here I am, on my way to my private jet. America. What a country.

  Hildy Mulligan : So, why didn't you tell us any of this before then?

  Erich Blunt : You didn't ask.

  Hildy Mulligan : Oh. Ok, well, I don't wanna make the same mistake twice then. Mr Blunt, did you kill Kevin Neyers?

  David Hertzberg : Ok, thank you. Erich, you don't have to answer to that question.

  Erich Blunt : Relax, David. I didn't kill him, that's ridiculous and they know it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go to LA, I have another prick trying to blackmail me, so...

  Terry English : What does this one want?

  Erich Blunt : My integrity. So, if you wanna arrest me for murder, stick around. I'll be back before dinner.

• Erich Blunt : We all had dream worlds as kids. Places where we would go to escape. For me, was inside this view-master. Belonged to my grandmother, then my mom. See, our Apps are more than games. They are destinations for users go to get lost and alternative utopian reality. But the experience is limited by the delivery system. The future will be dominated by the first company able to eliminate the device, an immersive 4D experience allowing people to travel inside our actual worlds. Apple has the most talented engineers in the business. Because of them, we are gonna be that company.

• Erich Blunt : Suits. They don't get it.

  Cindy Strauss : No, they don't. They're not like you. You're special.

  Erich Blunt : God.

  [Erich whispers something to Cindy] 

  Cindy Strauss : And you're crazy!

  [Giggle] 

  Erich Blunt : Yeah, well, if I wasn't crazy, think I'm going insane.

  [Kiss] 

  Cindy Strauss : I have to get back to work.

  Erich Blunt : All right.

• Jeremy Leonard : Do you really wanna mess you trial, Erich? I mean, you claim to be this big tech genius, this modern Edison. Well, what if the world learn that you're just a fraud?

  Erich Blunt : You get nothing, you ungrateful prick. You are nothing. And when I'm done with you and all these loyal fees, you'll have nothing, which is exactly what you deserve.

  [Erich stands] 

  Erich Blunt : A-and credit? Credit? On my masthead? Oh Jeremy... I'm going to take you to the court and I'm going to kill you. Yeah. And when you're dead and buried, your tombstone is going to read: Jeremy Leonard, irrelevant. Great to see you, pal.

• David Hertzberg : Sorry? What is this?

  Hildy Mulligan : Hi.

  Erich Blunt : Inspectors Mulligan and English, S.F.P.D.

  Jimmy Salter : They got a couple of questions.

  David Hertzberg : OK. Well, I'm sorry, we are running a bit late. I'm his attorney. Here's my number. Call me in my office, we'll set up a meeting.

  Terry English : OK, well, this only will be a few moments. Or you can come down to 850 Bryant Street, if you prefer.
