Deep Red quotes

  • Carlo: Look, maybe you've seen something so important you can't realize it.

    Marcus Daly: But... I'm just trying to understand, because...

    Marcus Daly: But I'm telling you the truth!

  • Rodi: Olga! Come back here this minute!

    [Olga walks back to her father]

    Olga: What is it?

    Rodi: You little witch. I told you not to do that again!

    [Slaps Olga across the face]

    Rodi: Now off you go- go on!

    [Olga gives her father an evil smirk as she backs away]
