Angie Gennaro Quotes in Gone Baby Gone (2007)

Capt. Jack Doyle: Do you have any children, Miss Gennaro?

Angie Gennaro: No, sir.

Capt. Jack Doyle: My only child was murdered. She was twelve. Did you hear about it? What you probably didn't hear, and what I hope you never have to deal with, Miss Gennaro, is what that feels like. What I have to deal with. Knowing that my little girl likely died crying out for me to come and save her. And I never did. My little girl died afraid and alone in a shallow ditch bank by the side of the road, not ten minutes from my house. I know what it feels like to lose a child. Now damn it, you force my hand and then you question the way I handle it.

Detective Remy Bressant: No one's questioning you, sir.

Capt. Jack Doyle: I honor my child with this division. So that no parent has to go through what I've known. This child. That's all I care about. I'm gonna bring her home.

Steve Penteroudakis: [while at a bar] Yeah, listen, I been fucking everywhere putting up posters, man, you know? Every project hallway, all over City Point, everywhere, you know? I mean, it's a real tragedy. She used to come in here, sit up at the bar and shit. You know, she was like our mascot.

Angie Gennaro: Helene brought Amanda in here?

Steve Penteroudakis: No, mostly in the afternoons. I mean, it's not place for a child at night.

Angie Gennaro: We have a good life, right?

Patrick Kenzie: Is that a trick question?

Angie Gennaro: I don't wanna find their little kid in a dumpster.

Patrick Kenzie: Maybe she's not in a dumpster, babe.

Angie Gennaro: I don't wanna find a little kid after they've been abused for three days.

Patrick Kenzie: Hon, nobody does.

Capt. Jack Doyle: You ever investigated an abduction before?

Patrick Kenzie: I think Mrs. McCready was hoping we could help with the neighborhood aspect of this investigation, the people, you know.

Capt. Jack Doyle: How old are you?

Patrick Kenzie: I'm thirty-one.

Angie Gennaro: He just looks young.

Capt. Jack Doyle: A four year old child is on the street. It's seventy-six hours and counting. And the prospects for where she might be are beginning to look grim, you understand? Half of all the children in these cases are killed, flat out. If we don't catch the abductor by day one, only about ten percent are ever solved. This is day three. He may look young, but if he wants to work this case, he better not act it.

Patrick Kenzie: Well, he's been hired by a woman who's the victim of a crime, and by law he's entitled as her representative to be cooperated by the Boston Police Department. So he expects to be.

Capt. Jack Doyle: And so he will be.

Angie Gennaro: Did you ever sell to Helene?

Bubba Rogowski: There's reasons why there ain't three inches of plexiglass between us right now. That's because I don't fuck with skeezers like Helene. Or coconuts like Cheese. You should know better by now. I'm the king of this motherfucking jungle.

Angie Gennaro: This is horrible.

Patrick Kenzie: Not for Channel 9.

Angie Gennaro: So you're bringing the FBI into this?

Detective Remy Bressant: That's the worst thing we could do.

Angie Gennaro: Why is that?

Detective Remy Bressant: Because I don't want to see Cheese kill Amanda after he opens a bag full of newspapers.

Angie Gennaro: It's kidnapping.

Detective Remy Bressant: I don't see a note. Do you see a note?

Nick Poole: Nope. No note.

Detective Remy Bressant: We're investigating a missing children's case here. Kidnapping has nothing to do with it. The fastest way to get Amanda home is go to Cheese, swap the money for her, and walk away. Plain and simple.

Helene McCready: [to Patrick] Do you know Cheese?

Patrick Kenzie: I knew his brother better - Jude. He was a sweet kid. Cheese went another way.

Helene McCready: He wouldn't hurt her, right?

Nick Poole: [sarcastically] Ask Ray.

Patrick Kenzie: All right, listen. All he cares about is his money. If he gets it back, he's not going to hurt her. Maybe.

Detective Remy Bressant: Just keep your mouths shut, okay? We'll get her back. It'll be fine.

Helene McCready: You're going to talk to him?

Detective Remy Bressant: Yeah, that's the idea.

Helene McCready: Well tell him I'm sorry, all right? I mean, he knows me. Just tell him I apologize.

Nick Poole: [sarcastically] Yeah, I'm sure that'll fix everything.

Detective Remy Bressant: Corwin Earle. Serial molester, recently work-release. Went AWOL around the time Amanda disappeared.

Nick Poole: Known associates - Leon Trett and his handsome wife, Roberta. The Tretts were released six and eight months ago, respectively. They have drug habits. We don't know where they are, but we think Corwin's with them. Jailhouse snitch claims that Corwin confided in him and told him when he got out, he was gonna move in with his family. Apparently, the three of them have some kind of Addams Family deal going on.

Detective Remy Bressant: Corwin's plan is to keep a kid in the house to have sex with.

Patrick Kenzie: Well, that sounds promising.

Detective Remy Bressant: Not for Amanda, it doesn't.

Angie Gennaro: Do you think this is who has Amanda?

Nick Poole: Well, there's a lot of holes in our theory. I mean, Corwin likes little boys, you know? He likes them seven or eight or nine.

Angie Gennaro: They told me what happened. I'm proud of you. That man killed a child. He had no right to live.

Patrick Kenzie: You're proud of me?

Angie Gennaro: Of course I am. You did what you had to do.
