Carmine Giovinazzo: Danny Messer

Quotes 

• Danny Messer : How's our gypsy cab driver, doc? You bring him back to life so he can just tell us who killed him?

  Dr. Sheldon Hawkes : I haven't attended that seminar yet. But... his fingernails are doing an awful lot of talking.

  Aiden Burn : Is that blood?

  Dr. Sheldon Hawkes : Yeah. This guy put up one hell of a fight.

• Danny Messer : I'm gonna go out here on a limb, Mr. Arnold, and say the kind of people you do business with - you know, the "What's in your portfolio?" kind of people - they don't take gypsy cabs, either, but your card ended up in one last night. So where were you last night? Come on! What, you want me to subpoena your credit card statements? I can call your wife if you want me to.

  Gavin Arnold : Okay. Okay. I went to, uh, Lifestyles last night after work.

  Danny Messer : Lifestyles?

  Gavin Arnold : It's a strip club over on West 47th. I slipped my card to, uh, one of the strippers.

  Danny Messer : Yeah, I'm sure you were just sharing stock tips with her, right? What's her name?

  Gavin Arnold : Savannah. But, you know... I don't think it was her real name.

  Danny Messer : [sarcastically]  Naww... you think?

• Antonio Reyes : [finding Danny outside his apartment building]  What, did you come here to insult my family some more?

  Danny Messer : No, kid. I came to apologize to you. I'm sorry. Look, kid, you know what, when I was a kid, my father and I got into the wrong gypsy cab. I got beat up, my father got beat up. I was ten years old. Still eats at me to this day.

  Antonio Reyes : That's not my father.

  Danny Messer : I know that now. And I wanted to tell you that your father was a good man, Tony. He was killed trying to save a woman from being raped, and not many guys would do that and he did, all right? There's a lot of honor in that.

• Danny Messer : [to stripper whom he wants to question]  Gonna need a word. In private. And I don't mean the Champagne Room.
