Jim Raynor [about Kristen]
She's got an edge to her, don't she?
LD Larry Dodd
Jimmy, the girl ran track somewhere, man. That doesn't mean you want her watching your back. Look it, Nettle ain't going to want to throw her in with you. First thing he'll think is you'll bang her. You know how he is about that. Second thing he thinks is if she gets hurt, how's that make the department look? Throwing a little girl like that into the world. Man, I can just hear what he's going to say.
Jim Raynor She looks stout to me.
Jim Raynor [about the heater]
Broke in Montana. I kept meaning to get it fixed, then I came down here, where it's warm, and I lost my motivation.
Is that where you're from, Montana?
Jim Raynor The eastern part. The Big Empty. And now, I'm from Caddo Lake, Texas.
Were you a narc up there too?
Jim Raynor Ruins you for everything else.
Jim Raynor [Kristen laughs]
That's probably not a joke.
Jim Raynor It's a long haul, and you hate yourself most of the way.
Jim Raynor No. It's simpler than that for me. But then I got low self-esteem.
Jim Raynor Gotta do something about your hair.
Jim Raynor Quit washin' it. There are some things we gotta talk over.
Jim Raynor We buy drugs. Larry Dodd gives us the money. And he's the only one we ever talk to in the whole department. To everybody else, we're junkies. What that means is if we get into something, we ain't gonna call in no "Officer assist" to get out. Our "Officer assist" is each other. So, what I'm saying is when you come into this it can't be halfway.
Jim Raynor You know what you're doin'?
Jim Raynor Gotta be able to lie better than that.
Jim Raynor You wanna try to light that up?
Jim Raynor [Kristen clumsily lights a joint]
You do that on the street, I guarantee you're ****. You're ****. And I'm **** with you, 'cause we're partners.
Jim Raynor Simulation's something you say in court. Outside the court we're here to buy dope. You go in thinkin' these people are stupid, it'll get you hurt, and me hurt with you. That's what happens when the shit comes down. One of us is ****, we both are. And that's what this is about. You and me. 'Cause people find out what we do, I mean either side, the DA or the dealers, it's over. Over. All we got is each other.
Jim Raynor Listen, I know this is a little hairy.
Jim Raynor It happens. All this shit about addiction is a matter of how strong you are. I've seen agents brought up for air. They've been doin' it steady five, six months, plenty strung out. Gotta get strong. You kick the bed covers a week or two, you run a little temperature. You get up on your feet, stand and walk. Cops? That's how it's done. A ****in' dealer won't split down with nobody till he knows he's cool. Business. That's the way it is.
Jim Raynor [after taking a hit]
That's some nice shit, man.
WR Willie Red
And you know that. Willie Red gets the best. Only the best. Kinda make you feel like floatin' on a cloud of titties. [to Kristen] So what about you, sister? You wanna taste?
Jim Raynor No, she don't fix. The lady, she don't fix.
WR Willie Red
Oh, man. She be missin' out on the good things in life. [pause] I think she fix. I think she fix, else you don't walk outta here.
Walker told us everything was cool with you, man. He said "Just come on by, everything's fine."
WR Willie Red
Damn straight. Walker cool as the other side of my pillow, honey. But you ain't showed me shit. What the **** you come down here for? You don't wanna get down, tell me that.
WR Willie Red
[Kristen starts to take her first hit]
There you go, baby. Ain't nothin' to it but to do it. Yes, Lord. Pretty soon you'll be feelin' all unnecessary.
[about Willie Red]
Did you smell him?
Jim Raynor Yeah, they don't take many baths. It's a better high if they're dirty.
Jim Raynor Yeah. It doesn't leak through the skin.
KC Kristin Cates
So what happens now?
Jim Raynor We go back to sleep.
KC Kristin Cates
No, I mean to him.
Jim Raynor He's already asleep. He's just like anybody else. We don't touch any of them until we get them all. How bad did that scare you last night?
KC Kristin Cates
Some. But I didn't mind. And I liked it.
Jim Raynor What did you like?
KC Kristin Cates
I liked being there with you. And I liked being scared. I liked knowing he was going away for it.
Jim Raynor Don't like it too much.
KC Kristin Cates
D'you like it too much, Jim?
Jim Raynor Yeah, I like it too much.
Jim Raynor Look, I need something you've got.
WG Will Gaines
Somebody told me you're a bad-ass.
Jim Raynor There's no bad-asses. Ain't nobody can't die.
WG Will Gaines
Tell me something, bad-ass: you think I'm stupid?
You know what scares me? The thought of all those people getting up in court, telling what we did.
Jim Raynor Nobody believes them, except other dealers and other cops. That's what makes the whole thing work. You never admit to anything. Someone's holding evidence in your face... nothing.
Jim Raynor Feels like a long ride to nowhere, doesn't it?
You know, after I finished with the grand jury, they applauded me. It made me feel sick. I feel sick.
Jim Raynor You pick a side. Because you have to. And it's supposed to be the right one. Difference being, our intentions were good. But...
Difference is there isn't any difference.
