What was it I said gave me away?
Everything. You're a weirdo, Jonas.

A Walk Among the Tombstones quotes
Kenny Kristo
[on Scudder's police career]
Nah, the corruption got to you, huh?
Not really. It would have been hard to support my family without it.
Kenny Kristo
So you're a private detective, is that right?
Unlicensed.
Kenny Kristo
What's that mean?
It means that sometimes I do favors for people and sometimes in return, they give me gifts.
I already know what you look like, Ray.
I know you're a genetic ****-up, who, if I'd met on the street 10 years ago, I'd have thrown you out of a **** window.
So what? You gonna stab me now with that big **** knife?
Jonas Loogen
It's gonna bother me too, for a long time. I know it will.
How much is it gonna bother you if I take that knife away and stick it in your neck?
The dog's name is Watson.
Watson. And the other dog? The one before?
She couldn't tell me what breed the other dog was. She was young when it died. They had it put to sleep, she said. It's a silly term for it, don't you think? I mean, you're gonna kill something you ought to have the courage to say that that's what you're doing. [beat] You're not talking, you still there?
I'm here.
I gather it was a mongrel. So many of us are.
What the **** is the matter with you, man? Why aren't you afraid?
I don't know. Maybe I don't care if you shoot me or not. Or maybe there's a high-powered rifle pointed at your head.
I could still kill you.
I'm right here. In some ways you'd be doing me a big favor.
Nah... I think I'll just fade into the shadows.
[TJ has brought a gun]
Point it at me, like you're gonna shoot me. Go ahead. Come on. [TJ does so] That the way you hold a gun?
TJ
That's the way I hold it, yeah.
You know how to jack the clip? Empty it? Clean it?
[Scudder takes the gun and empties the clip]
But the gun's still not empty. You know that, right? You know there's still a round left in the chamber here? Now put it back together.
TJ
Word! It's all oily and whatnot.
Turn off the safety. Now **** it. Now put it to your temple and pull the **** trigger.
TJ
What?
You heard me. Shoot yourself in the head. Might as well get it over with now. Because you walk around with a gun, sooner or later it's gonna happen anyway. No rewind, no going out for popcorn and coming back to the show. It's just you with that gun in your hand, stupid look on your face, and your hash all over the wall. Take it easy now, TJ.
A deal's a deal. No take-backsies!
I understand we have a new player in the game.
People are afraid of all the wrong things.
There were special circumstances regarding Mrs. Kristo. Her husband tried to haggle. He sliced the price. And we in turn... Well, you can finish that thought for yourself, can't you?
Whoever it was who took your wife, didn't just pick your name out of a hat. They'd been following her, know her schedule. They've done this before and they're going to do this again.
You want your money, or do you want to be looking behind you for the rest of your worthless **** life?
