I appreciated this dialogue
Sep. 7th, 2008 08:04 pmBrenner: So what happened to that guy you were seeing on the side?
Sunhill: I was engaged to that guy, I was seeing you on the side.
<...>
Brenner: So, did you ever marry that major whats-his-name with a gun?
Sunhill: I did.
Brenner: Well, I am extremely happy for you, Sarah, and I wish you both the best life has to offer.
Sunhill: I filed for divorce.
Brenner: Good.
Sunhill: What about you? I hope Brussells wasn't the last time you had a woman...
Brenner: Oh God...
Sunhill: You know, I always thought that you chose to avoid a confrontation with my fiancee like I wasn't worth the trouble.
Brenner: The man threatened to kill me. I chose discretion, it's a better part of valor.
Sunhill: Weren't you decorated for valor?
Brenner: Oh please.
Sunhill: Sometimes you...well, just gotta fight for what you want. That is, if you want it.
Brenner: I received a Bronze Star for valor for charging up a hill. That isn't a particular need or want. And besides, I don't remember getting any encouragement from you.
Sunhill: Well, maybe I wanted you not to accept my decision to break it off, maybe I wanted you to take me away.
Brenner (very aggravated): So we're talking about telepathy here, not real communication. You know, let's just talk about it next week.
Sunhill: Fine. (sips her drink). Just one more thing...
Brenner (pissed off): Is it next week already?!
Sunhill: You are such a damn' sharp detective, Paul, but you sure can't read yourself and you sure as hell dont' know a thing about women.
Brenner (chuckles): You know, you are very cute when I am mad at you. However, if you'll excuse me, I'll take my anger out on someone else...(leaves)
You gotta see "The General's Daughter" with Travolta and Stowe to fully appreciate this scene though :)
