Quotes 

• Mary Shannon : [to Epps as he's trying to romance her in her car]  Kinda hard for me to take you seriously with that tin foil bird in your lap.

• Mary Shannon : [her Mom shows up uninvited to Mary's new house]  I'll bet if I don't show up for a week, she'll run out of food and booze, and leave.

• Mary Shannon : Here's the deal, Eps. I can only imagine what kind of B-rated movie fantasy you've conjured up about how this was going to play out, but to save you from future humiliation you should know a couple of things. One: wasting my time is a *big* mistake. Two: arrogant assholes who think they can get in my pants using lame, romantic clichés make me wanna puke. Now pay your bill, and lets go.

• Mary Shannon : It's kinda hard for me to take you seriously with that tin-foil bird in your lap.

• Mary Shannon : [Dershowitz refused to let Mary escort her witness into Police Headquarters]  Why are you doing this?

  Detective Robert Dershowitz : Because I don't like cop-killers, and right now, I'm not too wild about you either.

• Mary Shannon : [approaches the detective she got into a fight with]  Wow, looks like someone kicked the crap out of you.

  Detective Roxanne Lewis : [pause]  You hit like a girl.

  Mary Shannon : Thanks... you too.

• Detective Robert Dershowitz : Let's not start accusing people until we have the proper evidence

  Mary Shannon : Wow. Talk about the cop calling the kettle black.

  [Remembers Dershowitz is a black man] 

  Mary Shannon : That's funny. That never sounded racist until now. My bad.

• Mary Shannon : Got three bedrooms. Check this out. One is my bedroom. One is my ofice and the other is I have no idea. How great is that? I have got an entire room with no defined purpose. I can fill it with Corn Flakes if I wanted.

  Marshall Mann : I'm not sure this neighborhood is zoned for Corn Flakes but an intriguing notion none the less.

  Mary Shannon : Okay then. Sand. I can fill it with sand. Better yet, bullets. You can never have too many bullets. THta's my bullet room. I have a bullet room.

  Marshall Mann : Well, as long as it's something practical.

• Mary Shannon : [voice over]  Perhaps the most difficult choices to make are the ones that deny us those things our heart wants most because as it's been said, "Without reason nor prudence, the heart wants what the heart wants and more often than not, it will not be denied."
