Gray Grantham quotes from The Pelican Brief (1993)

Any of those signs got my name on 'em?

Gray Grantham

Quite a few.

What do they say?

Gray Grantham

The usual: Death to Rosenberg, Retire Rosenberg, Cut off the oxygen.

That's my favorite. Of course you, Mr Grantham, did pretty good by me your last time out: Rosenberg equals the government over business, the individual over government, the environment over everything. And the Indians? Oh, give 'em whatever they want.

Gray Grantham

Well with all due respects sir, that wasn't my line, that was a quote.

From one of your unnamed senior White House officials; senior White House son of a bitch I should have said, who got in there by stirring up these people, one against the other. It never fails to amaze me what a man will do to get into the Oval Office.

Gray Grantham

How'd you find me?

Darby Shaw

I called the paper and asked for your address.

Gray Grantham

And?

Darby Shaw

I told them I was your sister Mary in from out of town and couldn't find you.

Gray Grantham

How'd you know I had a sister Mary?

Darby Shaw

You're not the only one who does research.

Gray Grantham

Do you want to talk about the brief?

Darby Shaw

Everyone I have told about the brief is dead.

Gray Grantham

I'll take my chances.

Didn't they also say they knew of no connection with the assassination?

Gray Grantham

Yes. But what else are they gonna say?

Where is Darby Shaw?

Gray Grantham

I think that's also a question for Darby Shaw, but I know that she's not available to answer questions as long as this "feeding frenzy" continues.

Does that mean that you don't know where she is?

Gray Grantham

No, I didn't say that.

Then you do know...

I, I take it this cryptic smile means you'll not answer...

Okay Gray, you know that in view of all this, you know that there's a lot of speculation that this woman is a figment of your imagination. That you created her, from a lot of different sources. Just as there are people who believe there was no Deep Throat, there are those who believe that there is no Darby Shaw. In other words, she's just too good to be true.

Gray Grantham

She almost is.
