Ellen
[at a fundraiser benefit]

Where the hell have you been?

Brody

Late.

Ellen

That I figured. Honey, this is a big deal for me

Brody

Well, Hendricks had the keys to the jeep, and I couldn't find the spares.

Ellen

Terrific. Listen, do me a favor and act as if you've been here the whole time.

Brody

How do I do that?

Ellen

Just look bored.

Ellen

Why don't you take a half day and clean this junk up?

Brody

Because, I'm in the middle of a boating accident, I got only four regular cops and one secretary, and a Chief Deputy who is constantly fiddling with the police boat. He's another one.

Ellen

One what?

Brody

What is it about this place? Everybody's a boat freak.

Ellen

It's an island.

Mrs. Taft

Good morning. Selling some more of the good life?

Ellen

Oh, yeah... Piece of this, piece of that - it all adds up.

Mrs. Taft
[about Chief Brody in the watchtower]

Your husband's been here all morning. What's he doing?

Ellen

His job.

Brody

I never been fired before. You know that? I mean, once when I was 17, when I was a kid, yeah, but... never from a real job. Nobody ever told me I couldn't hack it.

Ellen

They're not saying that.

Brody

Yes, they are. They are. Maybe they're right. I'm tired. Tired. I'm too damn tired.

Ellen

Too damn drunk. That's what you are, too damn drunk.
