William Snow: David Grief
Quotes
-
Lavinia Timoto : Polynesian kids are just disappearing, like they're vanishing into thin air.
David Grief : And Morlais's done nothing about it?
Lavinia Timoto : He's oblivious.
Mauriri Lepau : Because they're Polynesians?
David Grief : Aren't you jumping to conclusions? Morlais's colorblind when it comes to his job - he's inept with everyone.
-
David Grief : Mauriri thinks he knows where Clare is.
Isabelle Reed : Then I guess we better get going.
David Grief : We?
Isabelle Reed : You, me and Mauriri.
David Grief : I haven't got time for this, Isabelle.
Isabelle Reed : I'm not the one who can't look after himself in a fight.
Mauriri Lepau : Well, I'm sure you've had a lot of experience with people wanting to hit you.
Isabelle Reed : Yeah, but they're usually old enough to drink.
-
Mauriri Lepau : [to David and Isabelle] I can't track with you. You're covering up whatever marks they may have been left behind. Wait here.
David Grief : [to Isabelle] Maybe I should have gone with him. I hate just hanging around and doing nothing.
Isabelle Reed : Scared to be alone with me?
David Grief : Scared that Clare may be dead already.
Isabelle Reed : ...Yeah, I thought about that, too.
-
David Grief : Next time you get the hand-to-hand combat.
Isabelle Reed : Sure!

[last lines]
David Grief : [indicating Paiku] You have a visitor.
Isabelle Reed : Don't tell me you want your job back.
Paiku : If the lady would let me speak. I want to apologize for the inconvenience I have caused. I was led astray. I'm sorry.
Isabelle Reed : [handing Paiku the horse's feed bucket] Dante always liked you better anyway.
[David smirks]
Isabelle Reed : What?
David Grief : Better watch that sentimental streak. People might find out who you really are.
