Jimmy Markum: Admit what you did.
Michael Boyle: Dad, you just said the F Word.
Jimmy: We bury our sins here, Dave. We wash them clean.
Celeste Boyle: Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael.
Jimmy Markum: Is that my daughter in there?
Jimmy: How long?
Whitey Powers: How long what?
Jimmy: How long till you catch my daughter's killer? I need to know.
Jimmy: You do death alone, but I coulda helped her with the dyin' part.
Jimmy Markum: And it's really starting to piss me off, Dave! She's my own little daughter, and I can't even cry for her.
Dave Boyle: Jimmy, you're crying now.
Jimmy: I remember, I was more afraid of my little daughter than I ever was of being in prison.
Dave Boyle: Maybe some day you forget what it's like to be human and maybe then, it's ok.
Annabeth Markum: Celeste called looking for you. She was worried something might happen. She told me about Dave. Told me what she told you. What kind of wive says those things about her husband? And why'd she run to you?
Jimmy Markum: Why did not you call?
Annabeth Markum: Because it's like I told the girls. Their daddy is a king. And a king knows what to do and does it.
Sean Devine: Sometimes I think, I think all three of us got in that car.
Whitey Powers: The moment I laid eyes on him, I could tell he'd done time. They never lose it, you know. That tension, it settles up around their shoulders.
Sean Devine: He just lost his daughter, maybe that's what's settled in his shoulders.
Whitey Powers: No, that's in his stomach. The tension in his shoulders, that's prison.

Even though, sean knows that this will impossible because Jimmy thinks about every detail, meaning he probably didn't leave any evidence.
