John Pierce Quotes in The Final Cut (1996)

Sgt. Kathleen Hardy: Well, it appears that you just can't stay out of my bedroom.

John Pierce: [watching TV news of a bomb disarm with Col. Forsyth] There's your bomber.

Sgt. Kathleen Hardy: Forsyth. You?re crazy. Why would he build a bomb to disarm it? What? To be a hero.

John Pierce: [knowing he's not convincing Hardy] Why do you do this job, Hardy?

Sgt. Kathleen Hardy: I don't know... you?re gonna tell me, right?

John Pierce: Because you like it. We?re all a little twisted here... You love it but that fuck craves it.

John Pierce: [Talking to Weldon about how to find the bomber] Just keep checking those UDT lists.

Capt. Weldon Mamet: Were checking... and do you know whose name keeps coming up... you

John Pierce: [starting to see where he is going with this comment] I guess that means i'm qualified.

Capt. Weldon Mamet: Sometimes i just don't know where the fuck your coming from.

John Pierce: Are you arresting me?

Capt. Weldon Mamet: [annoyed] If you give me a reason...

John Pierce: [calmily and cleverly trying to push him] Fuck you Weldon...
