- Billi Brock: [to Tom] I know you.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: I don't think so.
- Billi Brock: No, no, you're from Boston, right?
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Yeah.
- Billi Brock: You played bass guitar in a club band called Juice?
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Yeah.
- Billi Brock: You look a lot cuter with short hair.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: I don't... I don't think we've met.
- Billi Brock: Oh... shame on you.
- [chuckles]
- Billi Brock: We were sleeping together for about two months.
- [helps him:]
- Billi Brock: Tom, it's me, Jill.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: [chuckles] Jill. Mobley?
- Billi Brock: [chuckles] Yeah. Actually, it's Billi now.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Yeah, you looked different then.
- Billi Brock: Well, I... had a little makeover.
- Blade Johnson: [scoffs] A little? Her doctor got implant-happy and went on a surgical bender.
- Billi Brock: Shut up, Blade! You know I don't need this kind of brain damage from a Howard Stern wannabe.
- Blade Johnson: At least I'm not flavor of the month, darling.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Harry, I don't know the first thing about being a bodyguard.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: That's easy. You just stay close to her... and keep your eyes on the ball. And when somebody tries to kill her, you, uh... jump in front of the bullet!
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Cassy, I'm protecting a video jockey, not the President of the United States.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: [in back of limousine] You look great.
- Billi Brock: You make me feel very safe.
- [her hand pats his knee]
- Billi Brock: You didn't wanna do this, did you?
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: No. I... I can't... It's nothing personal, Jill. It's not what I do, you know...
- [uneasy silence]
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: So how did you get into all this?
- Billi Brock: You mean, how could I give up a good steady job as a cocktail waitress?
- [chuckles]
- Billi Brock: I... moved to New York on a dare. Somebody bet me I couldn't make it, so I did.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Well, you're damn good.
- Billi Brock: I'm glad you think so.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Where are we going?
- Billi Brock: Uh, a personal appearance.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Where?
- Billi Brock: Club Tsunami.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Well, how come nobody told me about this?
- Billi Brock: I just did.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: No.
- [shakes his head]
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: No, no. No, this is too dangerous, Jill. The body's not even out of forensics yet.
- Billi Brock: It's not my call. Uh, besides, we're gonna hold a candlelight vigil...
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Jill, you don't understand something. If I'm gonna protect you, you gotta tell me about these things in advance, so that we can secure the location.
- Billi Brock: [as he unzips bag] I'll have Cliff give you my diary.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: [produces Kevlar vest] I want you to wear this. Put it on.
- [tosses it onto her lap]
- Billi Brock: [scoffs] Yeah. I've got nothing to put it under. Besides, the combat retro look is way out of style.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Jill, put it on!
- Billi Brock: I can't wear it. I'll look stupid and
- [stammers]
- Billi Brock: scared.
- [then, quietly:]
- Billi Brock: You think I should be scared?
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: [nods] Yeah.
- Billi Brock: Are you?
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Yes.
- [struggling for words]
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: I just don't want you killed.
- Billi Brock: [smiles] Can't happen. I'm with you.
- Billi Brock: What do you want me to do, Tom? Quit my job? Go into hiding?
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: If you keep pulling that kinda crap, you're going to get yourself killed.
- Billi Brock: Who do you think you're talking to? You know, I'm not some little groupie anymore. You do not tell me what is good for me and what isn't.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Is the publicity worth that much? What's happened to you?
- Jacqueline 'Jackie' Webster: [intervenes] That's it. She's doing her job, and if you do the job we paid you for, she'll be fine and we'll be gone in a couple of days
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Fine. You want me to do my job? Then you let me do it my way, no negotiations.
- [Jill glares at him]
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Tom, I think we all want the same thing here, and that is Billi alive. Let's work towards that.
- Jacqueline 'Jackie' Webster: I'm not canceling my scheduled events.
- Cliff Carpenter: What if we secure the location, we beef up the bodyguards, nobody goes in or out without a pass?
- Jacqueline 'Jackie' Webster: [considers] I can do that.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: [to Tom] Can you live with that?
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: If you wanna do this right,
- [to Cliff:]
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: you search every guest,
- [to Jill:]
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: and you wear Kevlar.
- Billi Brock: Oh, come on! People don't exactly tune in to see the color of my eyes.
- [shakes her head]
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Then paint it pink, put the network logo on it, make a production of it. Billi... Just wear it.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Well?
- Billi Brock: Fine. Whatever!
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: [as Tom stares after Billi who waved at him] If you hurry, you can still catch her.
- [big smile]
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: [looking wistfully after departing figure] I don't think that one is gonna work out long term.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: [chuckles] Oh, you could always take some time off and have fun short term.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: [nudges her shoulder with his own] Are you trying to get rid of me?
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: No.
- [chuckles]
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: No. I think Harry might be.
