Sin by Murder

Michael Barnes:
Ten years of marriage is certainly something to be proud of, these days.

Michelle Barnes:
I feel like I'm all bound and gagged.

Michelle Barnes:
I can't take this sh*t anymore, Michael. I'm tired... It's gotta end.

Michael Barnes:
I promise, it'll all be over, real soon.

Michelle Barnes:
Right, Michael. It's always the same story with you... First it's, "I'm gonna make partner, then I won't have to work so much." Then it's, "One more deal, just one more deal, and then we can have a normal life."

Michael Barnes:
This is different... This is big time, trust me! This is real money... "F*** you" money!

Michelle Barnes:
He left! The a**hole actually left me alone on our f***ing anniversary!

Sharon Sloan:
That's it, Michelle. You gotta leave him... Don't you get it? He's got a bigger hard-on for work than he has for you!

Sharon Sloan:
Really? He f***ed you tonight?

Michelle Barnes:
Well, you don't have to be so crude about it, but yeah... he did! Christ, it's our anniversary... It's the least he could do, right?

Sharon Sloan:
So you get ten seconds of bliss, and he's off to work again...?

Michelle Barnes:
I've learned not to complain. Besides, he's working on that big deal of Arthur's... the one that's gonna make us all rich.

Michelle Barnes:
Yeah, we can get loaded, and talk about all the men we've been with... Not lawyers, but real men who knew how to use their hands, and tongues!

Amy Cobb:
Nice of you to show up.

Jack Burns:
Yeah, good morning to you, too.

Jack Burns:
Any children?

Michael Barnes:
No... Not yet. We were thinking about it.

Jack Burns:
How long were you married?

Michael Barnes:
Ten years.

Jack Burns:
Something doesn't figure here... It's their anniversary, and this guy Barnes, he decides he's gotta go downtown and put in a couple hours at the firm.

Amy Cobb:
Come on.

Jack Burns:
That's what he told me.

Amy Cobb:
Then he's an a**hole!

Jack Burns:
Easy, killer! He said he cooked dinner for her, first.

Amy Cobb:
Yeah, and maybe she lucked out and he f***ed her for a couple minutes.

Jack Burns:
You're on the warpath again, I see... So, he's a louse. What am I gonna do, charge him with being a shitty husband?

Jack Burns:
This guy has too much to lose... A house in the Hills, partnership downtown. Why throw it all away?

Amy Cobb:
Who knows? Money...? Another woman...? Take your pick.

Michael Barnes:
You have to tell them you were with me that night.

Sharon Sloan:
Are you crazy? And risk my own damn marriage...? Sorry, baby, but I'm not about to live the life of a divorced woman!

Sharon Sloan:
You know, for a Harvard man, you're not very smart... Just what am I supposed to tell them? "Oh yes, officer, Michael and I were together that night. As a matter of fact, we had amazing sex on the top of his desk!" Get real, pal!

Michael Barnes:
Sharon, please! I'm begging you!

Sharon Sloan:
Beg all you want, the answer's no!

Michael Barnes:
Well, f*** you very much.

Michael Barnes:
I just need to know one thing... Did you have anything to do with Michelle's death?

Sharon Sloan:
Jesus Christ, Michael. What the hell's gotten into you?

Michael Barnes:
Just tell me no, so I can sleep better.

Sharon Sloan:
You're really losing it, you know that? She was my best friend. I loved her like a sister!

Michael Barnes:
That's all I needed to know.

Amy Cobb:
He's got no alibi, Jack. He can't explain why the alarm didn't go off, or why there was no forced entry... I think we got a lot.

Jack Burns:
Hey, I'm not saying he didn't do it. I'm saying we gotta dig a little deeper.

Jack Burns:
Has anyone talked to her?

Amy Cobb:
Not that I know of.

Jack Burns:
Well, let's rock and roll!

Amy Cobb:
You're pitiful, you know that?

Jack Burns:
What?

Amy Cobb:
You lose all control whenever we question a woman you find attractive.

Sharon Sloan:
You're unbelievable!

Arthur Willis:
You did all the work.

Sharon Sloan:
Oh, right... Well, then, I'm unbelievable!

Arthur Willis:
Do you miss Michelle?

Sharon Sloan:
Can't say that I do.

Arthur Willis:
Not at all?

Sharon Sloan:
Condescending little b*tch got everything she deserved.

Jack Burns:
And you had sex with Sharon that night?

Michael Barnes:
Yeah.

Amy Cobb:
Not two hours after being with your wife.

Michael Barnes:
Hey, I'm not proud of it, all right?

Jack Burns:
You wouldn't be trying to set up your girlfriend to take the fall, now would you, counselor? 'Cause if you are, I'll make your life a living hell.

Michael Barnes:
Like it isn't, already?

Jack Burns:
Somebody likes you!

Amy Cobb:
Ya think?

Jack Burns:
You two would make a cute couple. You should ask her out!

Amy Cobb:
Maybe I will.

Lee Sloan:
I'm gonna f***ing kill you. I'm gonna choke the sh*t outta you! You son of a b*tch!

Arthur Willis:
You b*tch!

Sharon Sloan:
Ain't I, though?

Amy Cobb:
So, what was your hunch?

Jack Burns:
Forget it.

Sharon Sloan:
I hear you've been a naughty boy.

Michael Barnes:
What are you talkin' about?

Sharon Sloan:
You f***ed her tonight.

Michael Barnes:
Jesus Christ. It's our anniversary, what do you expect?

Sharon Sloan:
What do I expect? I expect you tell me how it was... I expect you to tell me if you enjoyed it!

Michael Barnes:
I don't f***in' believe this! You got nothin'... not one shred of evidence. You've got sh*t. And you come here accusing me of her murder...?

Amy Cobb:
Believe what you want, sir. But we're looking real hard for that evidence, and when we find it, someone's gonna fry.

Michael Barnes:
And you think that someone is me.

Jack Burns:
I know about the whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing... but we'll come back when we decide it's time. Don't even think about leavin' town.

Sharon Sloan:
You stupid f***.

Jack Burns:
Amy, you're losin' it.

Amy Cobb:
Bite me!
