Sam Leary Quotes in The Punisher (1989)

Sam Leary: How long do you think someone can live after you've cut out their heart?

Frank Castle: A long... time.

Sam Leary: [as she and Berkowitz are combing the sewers for the Punisher's lair] ... So how come you never gave up on Frank Castle, like everybody else did?

Jake: Because I know what it's like to be given up on.

Sam Leary: Who gave up on YOU?

Jake: Everyone and myself. You know how most cops like to go out for a drink after work? Well, I kept moving on up... to the drink BEFORE work, the drink DURING work, and finally the drink INSTEAD OF work. It got to be a real problem; nobody wanted to deal with it, least of all me. Before I knew it, I was down to cleaning empty shells off the firing range. Then along came Frank Castle, ex-Marine commando with a shiny new police badge, and a request to learn from the man who wrote the book on busting bad guys: me. He helped me get my act together, and the rest is history.

Jake: [Leary accessing the computer at Berkowitz's office] What do you think you are gonna do with that? Play Ms. Pac-Man or something?

Sam Leary: Hopefully, find Castle.

Jake: No shit!

Sam Leary: No shit!
