Witness quotes

  • Rachel Lapp: [Book and Carter are driving around a rough neighborhood looking for a suspect that fits Samuel's description, with Rachel and Samuel in tow] Where are you taking us?

    John Book: I'm sorry... we're looking for a suspect in the area, we'd like the kid to take a look at him.

    Rachel Lapp: You have no right to keep us here.

    John Book: Oh, yes I do. Your son's a material witness to a homicide.

    Rachel Lapp: You don't understand. We want nothing to do with your laws.

    John Book: Doesn't surprise me. A lot of people I meet are like that.

    John Book: [after Samuel and Rachel converse in German] What'd he say?

    Rachel Lapp: He asked who you are, your name. I told him we didn't need to know anything about you.

    John Book: Book... John Book!

  • Rachel Lapp: [as she and Samuel are walking through the police station with Book] When can we leave the city?

    John Book: We're trying to get this done as quickly as possible, then you can go. But, Samuel's probably gonna have to come back to testify. I'm sorry.

    Rachel Lapp: No, you are not, you are glad.

    John Book: Huh?

    Rachel Lapp: Because now you have a witness.

    John Book: Yeah, now I got a witness.

    Rachel Lapp: I just don't like the idea of my son spending all this time with a man who carries a gun and goes around whacking people!

    John Book: [in disbelief] Whacking?... whacking?
