Dave Boyle quotes from Mystic River (2003)

Dave Boyle

It makes you feel...alone, you know, hurting somebody.

Dave Boyle

Maybe one day you wake up and you forget what it's like...to be human. Maybe then it's okay.

Dave Boyle

It's like vampires. Once it's in you...it stays.

Jimmy Markum

I just can't let anything get **** up in these next few days. Because it's all anybody will remember about her. One thing you could say about Katie, even when she was little...that girl was neat. When I got out of the joint...you know, after Marita died...I remember, I was more afraid of my little daughter...than I ever was of being in prison. I loved her...most...because when we were sitting in that kitchen that night...it was like we were the last two people on Earth. You know, forgotten. Unwanted. And it's really starting to piss me off, Dave, because I can't cry for her. My own little daughter, and I can't even cry for her.

Dave Boyle

Jimmy...you're crying now.

Dave Boyle

Hey, you think I could get that Sprite, Sean?

Sean Devine

Sure.

Dave Boyle

Oh, I get it. You're the good cop. How about a meatball sub while you're at it?

Sean Devine

I ain't your bitch, Dave. Looks like you'll have to wait.

Dave Boyle

Yeah, but you're someone's bitch, aren't you, Sean?
