Taggert/Hannah/AJ (cont.):
II. So AJ Tries Another Plan (7/5)
Taggert: "You know, I'd invite you to stay, but it's a private party."
A.J.: "Yeah, well, you know, I was hoping you were a no-show."
Taggert: "Never happen."
Taggert: "Is there anything left for me?"
Hannah: "Oh, of course. All of it. Do you want an explanation?"
Taggert: "No. I have what I want."
Hannah: "Me, too."
Dara:
"Don't tell me you're day trading."
A.J.: "No, it's more like a personal mission."
A.J.: "You see, I consider myself an innovator. Everybody wants to make a
killing in today's market. I want to get killed."
A.J.: "Does that mean you don't want to be my investment guru?"
Dara: "Your investment what?"
A.J.: "Grandfather earned it, I throw it all away. Sounds fair, don't you
think?"
Dara: "Um, some kids really do have bad families, and I see them every day."
A.J.: "Yeah."
Dara: "They're beaten up, they're neglected, they're thrown out with the trash.
I don't know what happened to you in that big house--and frankly, I really don't
care--but you have more than most people could even imagine. Why don't you go
out and help somebody or, you know, start up a business or something, do something
positive?"
A.J.: "Well, I'm having fun. That's positive."
Dara: "Well, Mac's calling in double shifts until you find him."
A.J.: "Dara doesn't like you, does she? Wonder why."
A.J.: "Ok. Don't you want to see if I can play the stock market as well as
I play pool?"
Hannah: "You're terrible at pool."
A.J.: "My point exactly. Pick a stock, any stock."
Hannah: "Why do you want to lose all your money, A.J.?"
A.J.: "Well, technically, it's grandfather's."
Hannah: "So if you don't want it, give it back."
A.J.: "Oh, you know what? Don't take this the wrong way. You just--you don't think
like a rich person."
Hannah: "Thank you."
A.J.: "You're welcome. No, you see, if I give this money back, grandfather wins.
But if I lose it in a completely irresponsible way for no good reason at all,
I win."
Hannah:
"You're buying 10,000 shares of stock you've never even heard of?"
A.J.: "Now all I have to do is hit enter."
Hannah: "No, stop."
A.J.: "Wait--you just want to hold my hand, don't you?"
Hannah: "If you hit that key, how much money are you going to lose?"
A.J.: "I don't know. We won't know until we try."
Hannah: "Come on, you can't buy that stock, A.J."
A.J.: "Yes, I can."
Hannah: "You're ruining your life."
A.J.: "Isn't it fun? Hmm?"
Hannah: "It's your money."
A.J.: "Well, hopefully not for long. Bombs away. There we go."
III. So in This Case, No Doesn't Mean No? (7/11)
A.J.: "Speaking of law enforcement, I have a question. You sleeping with Taggert?"
Hannah: "That's none of your business."
A.J.: "I'm just trying to gauge my chances, that's all. Because I'm thinking if
you and the lieutenant haven't gotten to that point yet, maybe you'll still go
out with me."
Hannah: "Why?"
A.J.: "You might find you enjoy me more than you've been willing to let on."
Hannah: "Reckless abandon may work in the stock market, but you're coming
up empty with me."
A.J.: "I must warn you, though--with the luck I'm having right now, I could
stay outside the yellow tape and still stumble on to the clue that solves the
case."
Hannah: "Look, if this is an offer to purchase more information, please don't."
A.J.: "No, no, no, no. Come on. Let's--I'll just drive you over there, and I'll
drop you off. What's the harm in that?"
Hannah: "Sorry, A.J. No way."
