Michael Galeota: Billy Ruckman

Quotes 

• Billy Ruckman : He did kill her! Her body's in the freezer!

• Billy Ruckman : [shows everyone a picture of Marcela Janowitz]  This is the woman that Chambers killed.

  Eddie Balser : You said he killed his wife.

  Billy Ruckman : I made a mistake... two nights ago when Kade let Boo out, this woman talked to Kade, and asked him where Chambers lived.

  Eddie Balser : How do you know it's the woman he killed?

  Billy Ruckman : [shows Eddie a sheet of music with Marcela Janowitz written on the top]  Read the name on that.

  Eddie Balser : Where'd you get this?

  Billy Ruckman : Kade got it from Chambers, the morning after he killed her, she must've taken it to his house.

  Eddie Balser : So you still think the body's in the freezer?

  Billy Ruckman : Oh not anymore, last night he buried her under the house.

  J.J. Jimenez : You mean he dug up the cement and buried her?

  Billy Ruckman : No, his house is just like ours, in the front there's a crawl space, in the back, there's a small basement.

  Eddie Balser : [takes the picture]  Give me this... so last night he turned up the music real loud so you wouldn't hear him pulling up the floor boards, and that is where he buried Marcela Janowitz's body.

• Kade : Mr. Chambers is lying, he killed the lady.

  Billy Ruckman : What'd you say?

  Kade : Mr. Chambers is lying, he killed the lady.

  Billy Ruckman : You heard him, that was his student, and they were rehearsing the scene from one of his operas.

  Kade : They weren't pretending, because she never got back up after he pushed her down.

  Billy Ruckman : She never got up? Wait, how do you know this?

  Kade : I saw them.

  Billy Ruckman : When?

  Kade : When you went to the bathroom.

  Billy Ruckman : You saw what I saw? Why didn't you tell me sooner?

  Kade : Every time I tried to tell you, you always tell me to shut up.

  Billy Ruckman : I knew he was lying, I could feel it. Okay, here's what we're going to do: he's going to try and get rid of that body tonight, I just know it. We're going to have to take turns watching his house. Okay, it's 11 o' clock, that means we've got 7 hours until it's light... Are you tired?

  Kade : No.

  Billy Ruckman : Okay, you take the first three hours, and I'll take the last four.

• Billy Ruckman : [digging for the body]  I hit something...

  Eddie Balser : What? What'd you hit?

  Billy Ruckman : I don't know... something hard.

  Eddie Balser : Maybe it's her teeth.

• Billy Ruckman : Every night Chambers starts practicing the piano at 9, he stops at 10, that'll give me exactly one hour to find her. J.J., you get on the porch roof and watch the front of Chambers' house, Jimmy, you stay in the kitchen and watch the back, Kade, you stay with Eddie, when Eddie gives you the signal, get to the phone and hit redial, I already have it set for 911.

• Billy Ruckman : I'm going into Chamber's house to find the body, who's with me?

  J.J. Jimenez : You can't do that, man.

  Billy Ruckman : I'll say it again, I'm going in. Who's with me?

• Vicky Ruckman : Did I tell you guys I met someone I kind of like? He's going toc ome by this week and meet both of you.

  Kade : Does he have a boat?

  Vicky Ruckman : I don't know.

  Kade : Ask him, okay?

  Vicky Ruckman : Okay.

  Billy Ruckman : We don't need, and don't want, antoher dad.

  Kade : But what if he has a boat?

  Billy Ruckman : Shut up, Kade.

  Vicky Ruckman : Billy, what about me? Your dad's been dead for almost 2 years. Don't you think I get lonesome sometimes?

  Billy Ruckman : If you get lonesome, just let us know, and we'll go and do something.

  Kade : Yeah, we'll talk to you.

  Vicky Ruckman : That's nice, but I'd kind of like an adult to talk to once in a while.

  Billy Ruckman : Don't you talk to the ladies at the office?

  Vicky Ruckman : It's not quite the same.

  Billy Ruckman : We don't need another dad.

• Billy Ruckman : What're you doing?

  Kade : I was just going to wake you up and you screamed, what's the matter?

  Billy Ruckman : Nothing. What time is it?

  Kade : 2 o' clock.

  Billy Ruckman : Did you see or hear anything funny?

  Kade : No, but the music is still turned up real loud.

  Billy Ruckman : The music is still on?

  Kade : Yes.

  Billy Ruckman : He's up to to something! We've got to see what he's doing, come on!

• Billy Ruckman : [under Chambers' house, whispering into walkie talkie]  You were right, I can see where he took away the floor boards. And the ground under me is still soft where he buried the...

  [eyes wide] 

  Billy Ruckman : the body! Stand by, I'm gonna start digging.

• Billy Ruckman : [peering in Chambers' window through a slat in the blind]  Can you see him?

  Kade : Sort of, he looks funny. He looks short, and he's sweating a lot.

  Billy Ruckman : What's he doing?

  Kade : I don't know.

  Billy Ruckman : [hears scraping inside]  What's that sound?

  Kade : I don't know.

  Billy Ruckman : Do you know anything?

  Kade : I don't know.
