Without a Trace

FBI MPU SA Samantha Spade • Samantha Spade

Vivian: Where's she going?
Danny: Maybe it's a booty call.
Samantha: Your mind is always in the gutter. There was no call.
Danny: Tom Wilkins, 11:48.
Martin: In my experience, there's usually not a three-hour lag between the call and the, uh...
[clears his throat]
Martin: delivery.

Samantha: Think a fresh change of clothes will make up for a lost night's sleep?
Jack Malone: Well, if I looked as good as you in black, I wouldn't need to change.
Samantha: [laughs] Jack... your collar.
Jack Malone: You're starting to sound like my wife.
Samantha: You should listen to your wife.
[Sam fixes the mussed collar]
Jack Malone: You do this for Dr. Fred?
Samantha: Sure.
Jack Malone: How is Dr. Fred?
Samantha: Busy and unavailable, just the way I like 'em.

Samantha: [about a missing person's father] He's barely got a pot to piss in and he's taking his daughter to a $300 dinner on a Saturday night?
Jack Malone: Well, think about it. He abandons her when she's a kid. He doesn't know how to deal with it. Now he wants to be her best friend. It's classic guilt.
Samantha: Is it guilt or romance? You don't go to Carmine's unless it's valentine's day or you're going to propose.
Jack Malone: How would you know?

Danny: [whispers] Two years working white-collar in Seattle and he gets this assignment?
Samantha: Doesn't hurt to be Victor Fitzgerald's kid.
Danny: Mmm. No wonder he's smiling.
Samantha: Not a bad smile, either.

[at a boxing training camp in the Catskills]
Danny: I don't understand why someone would come all the way out here to get in shape. I've got a gym nineteen blocks from my apartment.
Samantha: Your apartment's also in the vicinity of three gentlemen's clubs.
Danny: I like a little variety in my workout.

[investigating the disappearance of a boxer]
Samantha: I don't get it. You get beat in the head for a living, and you make money only to have your manager steal it. What's the point?
Danny: Boxing does have its benefits.
Samantha: What? Wearing satin shorts to work?

Jack Malone: There's a lot more than pain here. There's a lot of secrets in this marriage.
Samantha: Aren't there secrets in every marriage?

[Talking about a re-united marriage]
Samantha: So, what do you think their odds are?
[Sam doesn't get an answer]
Samantha: Are you all right?
Jack Malone: Marie and I separated.
Samantha: When?
Jack Malone: Three months ago.
Samantha: Three months.
Jack Malone: Yeah.
Samantha: Well, I don't know what to say.
Jack Malone: Well, you know, we were trying to work it out, and, uh we're in kind of, uh... limbo.
Samantha: I'm going to go home.

[Waiting to interview a missing person's mother]
Samantha: I know this house.
Martin: It's a long way from New York, that's for sure.
Samantha: Girls with dreams have been running away from this house for a hundred years.

Martin: You know, we could make a sex tape. Post it online here, then you wouldn't have to tell anyone about us.
Samantha: That's cute.

Samantha: Yeah. I was married once. When I was 18.
Vivian: Really.
Samantha: Yeah, it was red hot for the first two weeks and ice cold the last four months.
Vivian: Well, at least you understand commitment.
Samantha: [laughs] Thanks.

[Looking through videos the missing girl made]
Samantha: I've been sitting here all night looking for clues, looking for suspects. I mean, I'm not just seeing her I'm seeing... everything she sees and I keep thinking that if I get to know her maybe that'll help, you know? And then I think maybe I'll get to know her and it won't make any difference at all, it just...
[Starts to cry]
Samantha: ... God, I'm sorry.
[Jack puts a hand on her shoulder]
Jack Malone: This is... well, you're not supposed to get used to this. You're not. When you do... it's time to hang it up.
