  • Donna Yaklich: I didn't mean to say anything that would hurt you.
  • Dennis Yaklich: [goes to her face] You're probably wondering if I'm going to crush your skull and squeeze right here and watch the life drain out of you. I can do that...
  • Donna Yaklich: [scared] No, no...
  • Dennis Yaklich: Very easily.
  • Dennis Yaklich: [after being told that Patty is pregnant] How can do you this to me? How can you betray me like this! You know how bad this is going to look for Dennis Yaklich to have a knocked-up stepdaughter, huh? Do you?

  • Dennis Yaklich: [after being forced home from escaping] Do you know how bad I want to kill you?
  • Donna Yaklich: Yes, I do.
  • Dennis Yaklich: If you ever try and take my son away from me again, I'm gonna cut your sister Susie's throat and make you watch.
  • [Donna cries]
  • Dennis Yaklich: [goes closer to her] And you know what I'm gonna do to you, huh?
  • Donna Yaklich: No, what are you gonna do?
  • Dennis Yaklich: [whispers] I'm gonna slice you up and bury little pieces of you all over the Rockies. And guess what?
  • Donna Yaklich: [cries harder] What?
  • Dennis Yaklich: I'll get away with it.
  • Donna Yaklich: It wouldn't be the first time, would it?
  • Dennis Yaklich: [lets go of her] What's that supposed to mean?
  • Donna Yaklich: You - You killed your first wife, didn't you? You killed Barbara. I saw the death certificate, Dennis. You - Patty said she was perfectly fine two hours before she died. You killed her.
  • Dennis Yaklich: [smiles and chuckles sarcastically] What have we got here? Is this Detective Donna on the case now, huh?
  • Donna Yaklich: [in terror] I want to die! I JUST WANT TO DIE!
  • Dennis Yaklich: [mocks her] "Oh, I want to die, I just want to die!" Well, do the world a favor and PULL THE TRIGGER!
  • [takes out his gun and shoves it forcibly to Donna's face]
  • Dennis Yaklich: Here, take it. Take it, take it, put it up to that stupid head. No, do it right, do it right. Put it under here.
  • [puts it under Donna's chin]
  • Dennis Yaklich: What's the matter? You can't do it, huh?
  • [Donna cries still]
  • Dennis Yaklich: I can.
  • [Dennis cocks his gun and points it right at Donna's face]
  • Donna Yaklich: No! No! No!
  • Dennis Yaklich: Here comes the pain.
  • [Dennis pulls back on the trigger and the gun somehow clicks, Donna goes even more afraid]
  • Dennis Yaklich: [chuckles, sarcastically grins] Oh, oops! I guess I ran out of bullets!
  • Donna Yaklich: GO AWAY!
  • Dennis Yaklich: I'm never going away, Donna, I love you. We're just having marital problems, that's all. Heh, heh, heh!
  • Susie: [to Dennis] This isn't over yet!
  • Dennis Yaklich: [Amused] Oh, and what are you going to do? Call the police?
  • Eddie Greenwell: Man, you sure are lucky to have such a beautfiul, thoughtful wife, Dennis.
  • Dennis Yaklich: Donna's a selfish, manipulating woman.
  • Eddie Greenwell: [goes concerned] She don't seem that way.
  • Dennis Yaklich: You don't understand women. They'll do anything they can to try and shatter your dreams, try and make you something you can never be. You know what I mean, huh?
  • Eddie Greenwell: [quietly] Yeah...
  • Steve: Hey, have you been training lately?
  • Dennis Yaklich: Yeah, why? Can't you tell?
  • Steve: Looks like you're shrinking to me.
