- Erich Blunt: What, no 'Hello'? 'How are you doing'? 'Thanks for coming down'?
- David Hertzberg: Tactics. They're reading you. They're waiting for you to talk. They know you have something to say and when you do say it, you'll naturally make eye contact with one of them. That's the one you trust and based on that, they will know which roles to play in this... little chess game.
- Erich Blunt: Please, tell me he's full of shit.
- Hildy Mulligan: He is. But I gonna say that's actually pretty good quality shit.
- David Hertzberg: And there it is. He trusts the woman. I'm shocked.
- Terry English: [Questioning] What could we do for you, Mr Blunt?
- Erich Blunt: Honestly, I've been devastated by Cindy's death. She was a good employee, a friend. I hear you think it was an homicide.
- Terry English: Yeah, somebody snapped her neck and then threw her down a flight of stairs.
- Erich Blunt: What can I do for you?
- Hildy Mulligan: Were you romantically involved with Ms Strauss at the time of her death?
- David Hertzberg: I'm sorry, that's fishing 15 yards and lost a down.
- Erich Blunt: Yeah... We were seeing each other. I tried to keep it private, giving that she worked for me. But I don't regret our relationship. She was a wonderful girl.
- Terry English: When was the last time you saw her?
- Erich Blunt: On my plain. Coming back from L.A.
- Hildy Mulligan: Anything happened on that flight? Anything out of the ordinary?
- David Hertzberg: Erich...
- Hildy Mulligan: We heard you had a fight.
- Erich Blunt: It was nothing.
- Terry English: We heard you got physical.
- Erich Blunt: That's ridiculous. Who told you that?
- Hildy Mulligan: Did you yell at her?
- David Hertzberg: You don't-You don't have to answer at this, Erich.
- Erich Blunt: Wa-Wait. I raised my voice. All right? I wa-I was upset. It was out of line. But it wasn't physical.
- Terry English: OK, we have been told that you verbally assaulted her and threw an projectile at her face.
- David Hertzberg: Erich, they're not your pals. They're going to use everything you say here against you. They'll twist it, they will build an entirely new narrative that has nothing to do with the truth. As your lawyer, I strongly advice you not to say another word.
- Erich Blunt: I didn't kill her, David. I have nothing to hide.
- David Hertzberg: If you're not interested in my counsel, then perhaps I should leave.
- Erich Blunt: See yourself.
- David Hertzberg: OK.
