A scene from Mr. Brooks 2007
Tracy Atwood

[Atwood's phone rings]

Atwood.

Earl Brooks

Why are you a cop?

Tracy Atwood

Who is this?

Earl Brooks

You're rich, you have a good education. You could have gone into your father's business. Instead, you became successful on your own. Why?

Tracy Atwood

If you don't tell me who you are, I'm going to hang up.

Earl Brooks

You didn't really think your husband's killing was random, did you? And I certainly didn't have to give you Meeks.

Tracy Atwood

Mr. Baffert? You don't sound like you.

Earl Brooks

Well, I have a little cold.

Tracy Atwood

Where are you?

Earl Brooks

I'll tell you if you give me an answer to my question.

Tracy Atwood

[Atwood pauses for a moment and exchanges a glance with her partner]

My father was very disappointed that I was born a girl... and he let me know it. I've spent my whole life trying to prove him wrong.

Earl Brooks

[smiles]

Thank you.

Tracy Atwood

Wait a minute. You promised to tell me where you are.

Earl Brooks

Me? I'm on top of a building.
[Earl hangs up and drops the cellphone onto the street below]
