• [John and Jade's conversation is interrupted by police cars converging on the Palace of Fine Arts, Jade backs away from John] 

  Jade Angelou : Is this about you? You broke out of prison again, didn't you?

  [John gropes for a response] 

  Jade Angelou : Why did you come to me?

  Stanley Goodspeed : [appears, showing his badge]  FBI, ma'am. Your father's working with us. He's helping us to resolve a dangerous situation.

  Jade Angelou : He is?

  Stanley Goodspeed : Yes, ma'am. Well, gee whiz, John, I guess we'd better get going, don't you?

  John Mason : Whatever you say, Stanley.

  [He clasps hands with Jade, then leaves with Stanley] 

  John Mason : Thank you for that. You could have handled it differently.

  Stanley Goodspeed : What do you say we cut the chit-chat, a-hole? You almost got me killed twice! And my jaw hurts like hell.

  John Mason : ...Good.

• John Mason : [while walking in the Palace of Fine Arts]  your mother, well... she was very special.

  Jade Angelou : Yes, she was. But I don't think that we should romanticize what happened between you and her. Meeting in a bar after a Led Zeppelin concert, ya know? And I was the result.

  John Mason : Well, I'd like to think it would have led somewhere if only...

  Jade Angelou : If only what? Six federal marshals hadn't kicked down her door and dragged you back to prison?

• Jade Angelou : So they let you out?

  John Mason : Yeah.

  Jade Angelou : That's good. What did you do?

  John Mason : Jade, I don't have a great deal of time here, but I'll be coming back and uh maybe we can...

  Jade Angelou : What? We can what?

  John Mason : You know, you're almost the only evidence that I exist.

  Jade Angelou : But I don't know you.

  John Mason : That's what I want to change eh. I've rehearsed this speech a thousand times on the chance that we would meet. Here we are and I'm lost.

  Jade Angelou : Well I don't know how I'm supposed to be feeling either.

  John Mason : Jade, I'm not an evil man. If you can believe that, then its a start.

  Jade Angelou : Okay...
