Quotes:

Kade: [holding a baseball bat] Mr. Chambers, if you touch Billy and I'll break your legs. If you kill him, you're going to have to kill me too.

Kade: [on what to do with a body and not get caught] I'd put it in the freezer!

J.J. Jimenez: [on how to kill someone without getting caught] I'd drop a body off the Sears tower and put a note in her pocket that said "I've lived a horrible life", everyone would think she committed suicide.

Jimmy: [discussing how to kill someone and get away with it] First I'd cut it up into a million pieces with a chainsaw... then, I'd flush it down the toilet.::J.J. Jimenez: Hey man, I'm eating here.

Billy Ruckman: He did kill her! Her body's in the freezer!

Billy Ruckman: [shows everyone a picture of Marcela Janowitz] This is the woman that Chambers killed.::Eddie Balser: You said he killed his wife.::Billy Ruckman: I made a mistake... two nights ago when Kade let Boo out, this woman talked to Kade, and asked him where Chambers lived.::Eddie Balser: How do you know it's the woman he killed?::Billy Ruckman: [shows Eddie a sheet of music with Marcela Janowitz written on the top] Read the name on that.::Eddie Balser: Where'd you get this?::Billy Ruckman: Kade got it from Chambers, the morning after he killed her, she must've taken it to his house.::Eddie Balser: So you still think the body's in the freezer?::Billy Ruckman: Oh not anymore, last night he buried her under the house.::J.J. Jimenez: You mean he dug up the cement and buried her?::Billy Ruckman: No, his house is just like ours, in the front there's a crawl space, in the back, there's a small basement.::Eddie Balser: [takes the picture] Give me this... so last night he turned up the music real loud so you wouldn't hear him pulling up the floor boards, and that is where he buried Marcela Janowitz's body.

Kade: Mr. Chambers is lying, he killed the lady.::Billy Ruckman: What'd you say?::Kade: Mr. Chambers is lying, he killed the lady.::Billy Ruckman: You heard him, that was his student, and they were rehearsing the scene from one of his operas.::Kade: They weren't pretending, because she never got back up after he pushed her down.::Billy Ruckman: She never got up? Wait, how do you know this?::Kade: I saw them.::Billy Ruckman: When?::Kade: When you went to the bathroom.::Billy Ruckman: You saw what I saw? Why didn't you tell me sooner?::Kade: Every time I tried to tell you, you always tell me to shut up.::Billy Ruckman: I knew he was lying, I could feel it. Look, he's going to try and get rid of that body tonight, I just know it... it's 11, that means we have 7 hours until it's light. Are you tired?::Kade: No.::Billy Ruckman: Okay, you take watch for the first three hours, and I'll take the last four.

Eddie Balser: [to Billy] Don't worry, if he kills you, we'll nail his butt to the wall.

Billy Ruckman: [digging for the body] I hit something... hard.::Eddie Balser: Maybe it's her teeth.

Billy Ruckman: Every night Chambers starts practicing the piano at 9, he stops at 10, that'll give me exactly one hour to find her. J.J., you get on the porch roof and watch the front of Chambers' house, Jimmy, you stay in the kitchen and watch the back, Kade, you stay with Eddie, when Eddie gives you the signal, get to the phone and hit redial, I already have it set for 911.
