Episode Quotes

Bearded Man: Well, there's always a solution.
Arthur Frobisher: What kind of solution?
Bearded Man: A permanent one.
Arthur Frobisher: [shocked] What? Oh, God, no. What, you think that I...?
Bearded Man: It wouldn't get back to you.
Arthur Frobisher: We're... we're talking about a human life here. She's an innocent girl. She didn't do anything. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Bearded Man: Sometimes, that's enough.
Arthur Frobisher: You're serious, aren't you? You're actually suggesting...
Bearded Man: Look, Mr. Frobisher, you're insulated. You have resources. This kind of thing is simpler than you'd think.
Arthur Frobisher: [trying to make a joke of it] So, how's that work? You know a guy, you make a call?
Bearded Man: It's simpler than you think.
Arthur Frobisher: [serious again] Yeah. Of course it is. Become powerful enough, eventually every option gets presented to you, doesn't it?
Bearded Man: Yes, sir.
Arthur Frobisher: One day, you're living your life, the next thing you know, some man shows up on your doorstep and offers you the ultimate decision.
Bearded Man: And that's all it is, Mr. Frobisher... just another decision.
Arthur Frobisher: No. You go down that road and then... you know... who are you? I mean, there's no going back. No, no, no.
Bearded Man: Think about your family, Mr. Frobisher.
Arthur Frobisher: Don't you tell me what - !
Bearded Man: [interrupting] This case is going to end with someone's life being destroyed. Why should it be yours? [Frobisher stares at him in shock, then backs slowly away and walks off]
Ray Fiske: Jesus, Mary, and Joe Cocker, what a fine surprise. [as Katie barges into his office]
