Quotes 

• Jack Lewis : It's not nice to spy on people. Don't you know that?

  Eddie Cain : I guess I missed that in Sunday school.

• Eddie Cain : [narrating]  It was late August in Los Angeles and hotter than the price of gold. For two long weeks a super heated Santa Anna wind had been blowing in from the desert, and the city of Angels was beginning to curl up and shrivel. Like cheap bacon on a hot grill.

• Eddie Cain : [narrating]  For a blackmail note, it was very classy. Brief, right to the point, not a waisted adjective in sight.

• Eddie Cain : [narrating]  On David Benedict, my I.D. man drew a complete blank. Zero. And when someone comes up zero, then it's dime to donuts he's got something to hide.

• Eddie Cain : [narrating]  Getting in to see a guy like Romero wasn't so easy. But I made a few calls to the right people and before you could croke 'cosa nostra' I was getting a free massage.

  [cut to Cain being searched for weapons] 

• Eddie Cain : [narrating]  What was going on? I say apples, Romero says oranges, then tries to cover it like he meant apples all the time.

• Eddie Cain : [narrating]  It was old Boots all right. He had that loose bag' a clothes look that only a dead guy has. Dead as the proverbial doornail. I had the distinct feeling that LA's heat wave was gonna get a lot hotter for yours truly. And real quick. And I was right.

• Eddie Cain : [narrating]  We were busy doing the choke-hold polka.

• Vicki Lang : You need a shave, Mr. Cain.

  Eddie Cain : Like you need a conscience.

• Eddie Cain : [narrating]  Mr. Green went running off into the sunset before I could thank him. But when you're green I guess hanging around for handshakes just don't pay off.

• [Jack Lewis has been found shot to death] 

  Eddie Cain : Danny, it's okay, uh... so the guy's taken care of. He's not gonna talk. Danny, you know you can trust me.

  Danny Romero : Aw, I wish I could.

  [one of Romero's men hands him a gun with a silencer attached to it] 

  Danny Romero : You know, Norma should have come to me in the first place. This is family now, Eddie. You're not family.

  Eddie Cain : Vicki was involved with this guy.

  Danny Romero : It'll be handled.

  Eddie Cain : Danny, she was involved...

  Danny Romero : It'll be handled!

  [the Hulk growls and prevents Romero from killing Eddie Cain] 

• [Jack Lewis is pursued by the Hulk and Eddie Cain] 

  Eddie Cain : [narrating]  You never learn from experience. There I was, chasing a guy twice my size with a guy four times my size chasing me. Yeah, Eddie, you got some intellect.

• [Eddie shows David a typewritten note] 

  Eddie Cain : Care to explain?

  Dr. David Bruce Banner : Someone typed this note on that machine. I was not that someone.

• Eddie Cain : Hey uh, you know where I can find Ms. Lang?

  Jack Lewis : Who wants to know?

  Eddie Cain : Wait a minute, don't get upset... Boots.

  Jack Lewis : The name's not Boots.

  Eddie Cain : Oh well, I'm sorry, but they do seem sort of weird, old fashioned, you know, but nice. Very classy.

• Norma Crespi Lang : Will you help, Eddie?

  Eddie Cain : For old time's sake?

  Norma Crespi Lang : Yes, for old time's sake.

• [Mac shows Eddie some photos of the late Jack Lewis] 

  Mac : You know this guy, Eddie?

  Eddie Cain : Semi-acquainted. A frame, it's a frame.

  Sheldon : Come off it, man. A dead guy in your office, and the same dead guy got an ounce of .38 caliber in him, from your piece, Cain. You tell us it's a frame?

• [Eddie Cain has been inspected for weapons] 

  Sheehan : You're not carrying today, shamus. That's very smart.

  Eddie Cain : Just lucky, Irish.

  Sheehan : The name's Mr. Sheehan. Come on, rent-a-cop.
