“Mr Gallagher...I seem to want to ask if you set all this up. If I do...” – James A. Wells, Absence of Malice ... Movie Quotes Database

James A. Wells

Mr Gallagher...I seem to want to ask if you set all this up. If I do, you ain't gonna tell me, are you? No. You're a smart man, Mr. Gallagher. I'm pretty smart myself. Don't get too smart.

Michael Gallagher

Everybody in this room is smart, and everybody was just doing their job, and Teresa Perrone is dead. Who do I see about that?

James A. Wells

Ain't nobody to see. I wish there was. You're excused now, sir.
