Butterfly Effect (2012)

Cotter Smith: Jay Barrett

Quotes 

• Jay Barrett : I'm late for a board meeting, Burns. Why the charm offensive?

  Al Burns : The gate guard at your site checks workers in and out. I'd like to see those records.

  Jay Barrett : Talk to Ron Pappas.

  Al Burns : He'll say no. Then I'll have to go to a judge.

  Jay Barrett : I can't help you.

  Al Burns : On the other hand, I could go to a judge with a different kind of request. To keep the site closed for more evidence gathering.

  Jay Barrett : It wouldn't work. The judge would laugh you out of court.

  Al Burns : Maybe. But it would take a day to hear the motion. In the meantime, the interest on your $200 million construction loan would tick up, what? You tell me, you're the businessman. $85,00? 100? Mr. Barrett, I'm trying to solve a murder. Work with me, please.

  Jay Barrett : I'll tell Pappas.

  Al Burns : Enjoy your board meeting.

• Al Burns : Here's what we've got, Mr. Barrett. We got a warehouse leased by one of your shell companies in Bayonne. Right now, it's full of construction materials stolen from your own construction site.

  Ron Pappas : You charging my client with anything?

  Al Burns : I'll get to that. And we found out your alibi is bogus. Based on this, we could build a case you killed Chris Feeney.

  Jay Barrett : Only I didn't, and you know it.

  Al Burns : Maybe. Here's what I think happened. You did have an alibi, but you couldn't use it because it involved a lady named Micheline at the St. Laurent. Now, I can't help you with the theft charge; that's for you and counsel to sort through. The matrimonial issue is another story.

  Jay Barrett : What are you proposing?

  Ron Pappas : Jay, let me handle this.

  Al Burns : It's very simple. I want full access to your records, everything. No more hiding behind process.

  Jay Barrett : And in return?

  Al Burns : And in return, I don't blow a big, gaping hole in your marriage.
