Jim 'Fitz' Fitzgerald : I found him, I caught him, I put him in jail. You know what? I got my life back together. I'm just gonna stay right here. Tell Ted I'm busy.
Don Ackerman : Listen, we have enough evidence to convict Ted Kaczynski ten times over, but if this goes to trial, he's gonna make it a media circus. Then we would be giving the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, the biggest microphone in America, and his message is dangerous. We need him to plead guilty.

[laughing]
Stan Cole : Jesus. You kill those yourself?
Jim 'Fitz' Fitzgerald : What are you doing in my house, Cole?
Stan Cole : Well, I don't want to be here, believe me. But the boss needs you.
Don Ackerman : We need you to get into a room with Kaczynski, interrogate him, break him down, get him to plead guilty. We need someone who can speak the Unabomber's language; someone, uh, that he connects with. Besides, Ted asked for you.

Don Ackerman : You are part of a world-class orchestra here. Lots of instruments, lots of virtuosos, and out of all of these players, I'm pointing to you, and I'm saying now is the time for your solo. Stand up, play your heart out so the whole world can hear you. But you got to play with the sheet music that I'm giving you. Because you may be a once-in-a-century talent, but if you can't harmonize with the rest of the orchestra, I'm gonna have to send you home.
