Quotes 

• Robin Turner : [watching Dylan on TV]  He's a natural.

  Sarah Bennett : Yeah. Sure is.

• Alan Henry : Hello, Sarah. I've taken far too long to drop by and check out your gallery. Wow! You've really transformed the place.

  Sarah Bennett : Thank you.

  Alan Henry : So... an old woman goes to confession and she says to her priest, "Father, I have spoken ill of my neighbor and I seek forgiveness." 'Go find a chicken,' hey says, 'and pluck out all the feathers and drop them around town. That is your penance.' She does as she's told, but she doesn't feel any better, so she goes back to the priest and he says "Now go around and retrieve all the feathers." And she says, "Father, how can I? They've been scattered to the winds." And the priest smiles and he says, "Just like your words, what you throw out can never be taken back."

  Sarah Bennett : [as he menacingly gets into her face, he backs off as customers enter]  Can I help you with something?

  Alan Henry : Yeah, you can start by not upsetting my son. I could go to Chief Vaughn with what you've done.

  Sarah Bennett : Then why don't you?

  Alan Henry : You're jumping to conclusions here.

  Sarah Bennett : Am I?

  Alan Henry : And you should be careful.

  Sarah Bennett : I will. Now thanks for stopping by.

  Alan Henry : [turning to leave]  You know, your parents... were quite naïve. They thought they were invincible. I would hate to see history repeat itself.

• Sarah Bennett : Those texts were personal, not news.

  Dylan Bennett : Sarah...

  Sarah Bennett : Did you think about Cam? About what it'd be like for him when the whole town reads this crap?

  Dylan Bennett : Listen, I report the news, good or bad. You know that.

  Sarah Bennett : [disgusted]  I do now.

• Sarah Bennett : Alan was working the room like he was running for office. I mean, it was bizarre.

  Robin Turner : Okay, so... uh, Alan finds out that June and Trent are cuckolding his son, and he kills them.

  Sarah Bennett : Maybe, but... you know, they were both guilty of sloth, so... unless Alan's using the seven deadly sins as a cover, but... then why would he kill my grandmother and Justin?

  Robin Turner : Yeah, right, why would a Christian zealot want to kill a gay Muslim?

  Sarah Bennett : And Verna McBride, I mean...

  Robin Turner : Oh, I wanted to kill Verna McBride. Many times. No, wait. Alan lives with Cam. The police went through that house top to bottom. They would've found something.

  Sarah Bennett : What about Alan's other house?

• Chief Iain Vaughn : They're stored in evidence.

  Sarah Bennett : I understand. I'm not asking for the originals, just some copies.

  Chief Iain Vaughn : Why? So you can watch dear old mom screw a bunch of strangers?

  Sarah Bennett : I gave those tapes to you in good faith. I found them in my house.

  Chief Iain Vaughn : My hands are tied.

  Sarah Bennett : You know, you're not the boss of this town, Chief Vaughn.

  Chief Iain Vaughn : And you're not Nancy Drew. You're a failed artist who's stuck in a small town who can't even sell other people's artwork. That's who you are, Sarah.

• Sarah Bennett : Listen, about last night...

  Alan Henry : Yeah, Cam was upset. And scared. He... he didn't mean a word of it.

  Sarah Bennett : Are you sure? I move back to town, and everyone starts dying.

  Alan Henry : Sarah, no one blames you for that. You're one of Cam's oldest friends. And right now, he needs you.

• Robin Turner : What is that?

  Sarah Bennett : I think it's a murder kit.

• Sarah Bennett : How well did your dad know Tom Winston?

  Sgt. Cam Henry : Why?

  Sarah Bennett : He's his religious counsel.

  Sgt. Cam Henry : Why don't you get to your point, Sarah?

  Sarah Bennett : What if Tom's behind the killings? He's orchestrating them from behind bars... having someone... carry them out? I found... a murder kit in your dad's office. It had rope and handcuffs and weapons.

  Sgt. Cam Henry : Hmm.

  Sarah Bennett : Just... I know this is the last thing you wanna hear, but, you know, just take a step back, okay? Everyone's a suspect.

  Sgt. Cam Henry : Yeah. Yeah, they are. Including you, Sarah. Come on. Your parents are murdered by a religious zealot, you move back to town, into the exact same house, and the killings start all over again, the day after you return? Or, hey... maybe Dylan's the killer. Hmm? I mean, why would a big-city journalist move back to this podunk backwater? And don't say so that he could be the editor of that bullshit rag. Huh? He's back here and suddenly the killings start all over again and...

  [slapping the tabletop] 

  Sgt. Cam Henry : Come on, he's sitting on the biggest news story in the country.

  Sarah Bennett : Or maybe you're the killer, Cam. Your wife is cheating on you, so you kill her and her lover, horribly, brutally?

  Sgt. Cam Henry : Yeah. Yeah. Maybe it's me.

  Sarah Bennett : Your dad is hiding something.

  Sgt. Cam Henry : Yeah. Dylan is, too. I'd bet my life on it.

• Robin Turner : What if Alan catches us here?

  Sarah Bennett : I don't know, we'll tell him we're praying for loved ones or lighting a candle. Whatever these people do here. You know, stop worrying.

  Robin Turner : Me? Stop worrying? I had an ulcer by the time I was ten years old.

• Robin Turner : [following Alan Henry]  Sarah, my spidey-senses are tingling and telling me that we should not be doing this.

  Sarah Bennett : Want to just stay in the car? It's okay, you know. You don't have to be brave for me.

  Robin Turner : I know, but I need to be brave for Justin.

• Ronald Edwards : Sarah, pleasure to meet you at last. Please, sit down. I'm sorry I didn't make it to your grandmother's memorial. She and I go way back. And this mess, well... it's just a mess, isn't it?

  Sarah Bennett : Mr. Mayor.

  Ronald Edwards : And our tourism industry is on life support. I mean, this is way worse than a rainy summer.

  Sarah Bennett : How about I just ask you what I came here to ask you?

  Ronald Edwards : Ah, I see you're straight to the point. Gotta love it. Shoot.

  Sarah Bennett : The police found some VHS tapes in my house and they admitted them into evidence. I'd like some copies.

  Ronald Edwards : Have you spoken to Chief Vaughn?

  Sarah Bennett : I have.

  Ronald Edwards : Well, if he says no, it's a police matter. It's out of my jurisdiction, I'm sorry. Now if you'll excuse me, I...

  Sarah Bennett : How about this for straight to the point? You lean on Vaughn and get me copies of those tapes ASAP, or I tell my husband the reporter about your affair with my grandmother. I am sure Lisa Ann Follows would love to talk about the sordid love life of one of the Executioner's victims and the mayor... grandpa.

• Robin Turner : Sarah, my nose is... really itchy.

  Sarah Bennett : [sketching him]  Don't move.

  Robin Turner : Ugh... it's like I have poison ivy and crabs duking it out on my left nostril. Can I just...

  Sarah Bennett : No! If you don't stop moving, I'm gonna make you look like a Picasso.
