L.A. Confidential (1997)

Gene Wolande: Forensic Chief

Quotes 

• Ray Pinker : Stomach of the week. Unemployed actor had frankfurter, french fries, alcohol, and sperm. Hell of a last supper, don't you think?

• Ray Pinker : Bud White - what brings *you* to the basement?

  Bud White : I got a couple Nite Owl questions.

  Ray Pinker : I don't know if you'd read the papers, but that case is closed.

  Bud White : Is there anything bothering you about it, Ray?

  Ray Pinker : Yeah, the fact that the pack-up boys haven't carted this shit out of here yet.

  [Bud sees all the boxes of case files, and starts to look through the crime scene photos] 

  Ray Pinker : I got three shotguns, taken from the suspects, that match the strike marks on the shells from the Nite Owl. What more do you want?

  Bud White : [suddenly spotting a detail in a photo]  There's blood on the wall here. I thought everybody but the cook got shot in the men's room?

  Ray Pinker : That is Stensland's blood.

  Bud White : Stensland?

  Ray Pinker : He took a blow to the head. Was probably unconscious when they dragged him in the john.

  Bud White : Did they hit anybody else?

  Ray Pinker : No. But he was a cop, he probably tried to "do something."

  Bud White : [remembering that Stensland said he had a date that night, he studies a photo showing a table with two settings, including a coffee mug smudged with lipstick]  Grilled cheese, black coffee... two of the victims were women, right?

  Ray Pinker : Yeah - Patti DeLuca, the night-shift waitress, and a Susan Lefferts.

  Bud White : Susan Lefferts...

  Ray Pinker : Yeah, what about her?

  [Bud runs out of the room] 

  Ray Pinker : You're welcome!
