Want to make some overtime?
Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson
Sure.
Chief Jesse Stone
Walk the perimeter.
Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson
Looking for anything special?
Chief Jesse Stone
A clue would be good.
Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson
Such as?
Chief Jesse Stone
Anything that looks like a clue.

Think it's hers, Jesse?
Chief Jesse Stone
It doesn't do us any good to think it's not.

He probably wouldn't be the town hero if he were ugly.
Lilly Summers
Well that's cynical.
Chief Jesse Stone
I prefer observant.
Lilly Summers
And being observant would make you cynical, wouldn't it?
Chief Jesse Stone
You seem observant.
Lilly Summers
I try.
Chief Jesse Stone
But you don't seem cynical.
Lilly Summers
Well, I'm in the hope business.

Carole Genest
You ever go to college?
Chief Jesse Stone
No. But Porche Roberts did.
Carole Genest
Who's Porche Roberts?
Chief Jesse Stone
My first girl friend.
Carole Genest
What's that got to do with college?
Chief Jesse Stone
Nothing, but I think about her a lot.
Carole Genest
You think if you went to college things would have turned out different with her?
Chief Jesse Stone
Probably not, but I would have gotten an education.
Carole Genest
From her or from school?
Chief Jesse Stone
Both.

I don't want to ruin your party. But cars need to be moved, behavior needs to be modified.
Norman Shaw
We'll move the cars. And we'll quiet down. And I'll have your job...

Chief Jesse Stone
Probably not.

What's "casuistry" mean?
Chief Jesse Stone
I don't know.

Chief Jesse Stone
What pushed your button?
Dr. Dix
My boozer button?
Chief Jesse Stone
The precipitating event.
Dr. Dix
Booze. I was a drinker of opportunity. I got my hands on it; I drank it.
Chief Jesse Stone
Well, I was alright till my wife left me.
Dr. Dix
No you weren't. Even when you were sober... you were a drunk waiting to happen.
Chief Jesse Stone
Just what did my wife tell you about me?
Dr. Dix
Ex-wife. She says you have a hyperactive sense of responsibility. She says, you feel the divorce was your fault, even though she was the one having the affair. She thinks you also feel responsible that your friend Abby Taylor was murdered.
Chief Jesse Stone
I am responsible.
Dr. Dix
You working on a murder case now?
Chief Jesse Stone
Yes.
Dr. Dix
That your fault too?
Dr. Dix
My wife left me because I was a drunk.
Chief Jesse Stone
Booze kill the job too?
Dr. Dix
It did.
Chief Jesse Stone
So, how'd you get sober?
Dr. Dix
I stopped drinking. You're a drunk because you drink. You don't drink, you're not a drunk.
Chief Jesse Stone
You don't believe in addiction?
Dr. Dix
Sure I do. I was addicted. I still am. But that was just an explanation. If you want to stop drinking, pal, you got to do more than explain it.
Chief Jesse Stone
You're a cold bastard, aren't you?
Dr. Dix
Getting sober is cold bastard work.
Chief Jesse Stone
I need a drink.
Dr. Dix
Me too.
