Michael Simmons:
40 days? Does Catherine know?

Caleb Holt:
I'm not gonna tell her. If she wants to go ahead and file, it's up to her.

Michael Simmons:
Divorce is a hard thing, man.

Caleb Holt:
Well, if it brings peace...

Michael Simmons:
But Caleb, you want the right kind of peace.

Caleb Holt:
What do you mean by that?

Michael Simmons:
You know what that ring on your finger means?

Caleb Holt:
It means I'm married.

Michael Simmons:
Yeah, well, it also means you made a lifelong covenant. You putting on that ring, by saying your vows. The sad part about it is when most people promise for better or for worse, they really only mean for the better.

Caleb Holt:
Catherine and I were in love when we got married. Today, we're two very different people. All right? It's just not working out anymore.

Michael Simmons:
Caleb, salt and pepper are completely different. Their makeup is different; their taste and their color. But you always see 'em together. And when you... Hang on a second. [Michael glues a salt and pepper shaker together]

Caleb Holt:
What are you doing? Michael, what did you do that for?

Michael Simmons:
Caleb, when two people get married; it's for better or for worse, for richer or for poor, in sickness and in health.

Caleb Holt:
I know that. But marriages aren't fireproof. Sometimes you get burned.

Michael Simmons:
Fireproof doesn't mean a fire will never come, but that when it comes you'll be able to withstand it.

Caleb Holt:
You didn't have to glue them together. [Caleb picks up the shakers and starts trying to force them apart]

Michael Simmons:
Don't do it, Caleb. If you pull them apart now, you'll break either one or both of them.

Caleb Holt:
I am not a perfect person, but better than most. And if my marriage is failing, it is not all my fault.

Michael Simmons:
But Caleb, man, I've seen you run into a burning building to save people you don't even know. But you're gonna let your own marriage just burn to the ground.

Caleb Holt:
Michael, you are my friend. And I have allowed you to speak freely to me on this job. Don't abuse it.
