Michelle: What happened to Mick was pretty terrible.
Danny: Yeah, I think death's pretty terrible, too.

 


 

Michelle: The truth about what?
Danny: About what a nice, pretty girl like you is doing studying in a place like this… and why are you hanging out with this crowd?

 


 

Michelle: Why are you telling me this?
Danny: Cause I don't want you to cringe every time I look at you.

 


 

Michelle: Is there anything I can do to make this up to you?
Danny: Yeah… you can help me find who killed my brother.

 


 

Michelle: Hi.
Danny: I thought we already did the hi thing.

 


 

Danny: That's very interesting, Michelle. Only thing is, I don't believe one word you're saying.



 

Michelle: You come in here, muscling around, badgering us with questions, scaring us to death. You told me you don't want me to cringe every time you look at me – why the hell shouldn't I!?

 


 

Michelle: For God's sake, your brother was dealing drugs in here. What he did was wrong!
Danny: You don't think murdering him was wrong?

 


 

Michelle: I come here to think.
Danny: What a coincidence, it's where my brother came to die.

 

 


 

Michelle: Stop following me! Stop staring at me like you look right through me!
Danny: Maybe I can.

 

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): You don't think that Jesse loves you enough to kill for you?


 


 

Danny (to Michelle): If Jesse really loved you, wouldn't he fight for you? Especially if you were in trouble? Wouldn't you want him to do anything that he could to keep from losing you?

 


 

Michelle: Jesse is not a murderer! He didn't even know what Mick did to me!!
Danny: What did he do to you? Come on, Michelle, what did he do? Did he come on to you? Did he ask you out? What did he do to you? Michelle, what did he do to you!? Tell me what he did.. Michelle…

 


 

Michelle: We were supposed to be reading these inkblots in Psychology class. And he kept looking at them and telling me that they both looked like two people making love – him and me.
Drew: That's great! How did you handle that?
Michelle: I told him what I thought I saw in the inkblots – him getting hauled off to jail for sexually harassing me.

 

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): Is this my favorite Psych partner?

 

 

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): Ho ho ho.

 

 


 

Danny: What am I doing?
Michelle: Stop following me. Stop taking the same classes I'm taking. Don't call, don't send me things, and stop trying to intimidate me!

 


 

 

Danny: I'm sorry that I crossed the line and that I offended you in class, ok? Come on, you've gotta know the difference between an apology and a threat.
Michelle: Yeah, well, things are never the way they seem with you.

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): What if I told you that I think my brother's death was an accident, and that there's nothing I can do about it, and I'm letting it go… and now, there's only us.

 


 

Danny: What do you think I'm pulling?
Michelle: Pretending to be attracted to me… pretending to let go of your brother's death, whatever. It's all just a game anyway, isn't it Danny?

 


 

Danny: What am I doing?
Michelle: You're always creeping up on me.
Danny: Well haven't you heard? I'm the Springfield Creeper.
Michelle: You're also not funny.

 


 

Danny: Can't accuse me of sneaking up behind you.
Michelle: Can accuse you of following me, though.

 

 


 

Danny: How else am I gonna give you your Christmas present?
Michelle: Ever hear of the U.S. mail?

 

 


 

Michelle: You have no rights giving me gifts.
Danny: No rights? I should take that up with the ACLU.

 

 


 

Michelle: This is a picture of me. Wait a minute, this is when I was alone in the park. How did you…
Danny: It's important you don't forget me.

 

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): Mornin' sexy.

 

 


 

Michelle: Shouldn't you be off somewhere digging for truffles?
Danny: Meaning?
Michelle: You're a pig!

 


 

Michelle: How dare you kiss me like that!
Danny: You know, I've never really had a complaint before.

 

 


 

Michelle (to Danny): Oh I get it, the family takes care of itself now, right? Is that what you're threatening me with? Please, Danny. I saw The Godfather, it doesn't scare me any more than you do.

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): Jesse didn't kill Mick, you did. And now there's only one way to finish this.

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): The game is over, Michelle. Please don't make this any harder for me than it already is.

 

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): I want you to tell me exactly what happened that night. I wanna hear it from you, out of your mouth, in your own words. I want you to tell me how you killed my brother!!!

 


 

Michelle (to Danny): He just grabbed me and wouldn't let go. God, he just looked at me like I was nothing! Like he could do whatever he wanted to and then throw me away! I was scared for my life, Danny! God, what was I supposed to do!?!?

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): You did a good job, you convinced me. You did, you convinced me. But unfortunately, unfortunately your confession isn't really in your best interest.

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): I know what kind of guy my brother was. I loved him, but he had a lot of problems… drinking, and drugs, and gambling. Listen, the way you told me what happened, it sounds right. It makes sense. I believe that you didn't mean to do it.

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): Don't ask me to understand! Don't ask me to tell you that it was ok, Michelle! He was my brother! He was my family! He was my family, and you killed him!

 


 

Michelle: Don't be stupid, Danny!
Danny: Don't worry Michelle, I'm never stupid. But if I don't take care of you, someone else will.

 


 

Michelle (to Danny): If you think that I'm going to beg you for my life, you're wrong. I wouldn't give you the satisfaction!

 


 

Danny: Turn around.
Michelle: If you're gonna kill me, you're gonna do it staring in my face!!

 


 

Danny: I knew my brother. I knew what he was capable of doing to people. And I believe you, I believe what you said, about it being either him or you that night on the beach. I do.
Michelle: Thank you, thank you Danny for not killing me. 

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): Once an order comes down from the top, it's gotta happen. And if it doesn't, then somebody's gotta answer for it.

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): I wonder. I wonder if you're worth risking my neck for…

 

 



 

Danny: Don't be scared.
Michelle: Don't be scared? Danny, less than 24 hours ago I thought you were gonna kill me. You shot a gun off and pushed me into a lake.

 

 


 

Danny: I told you, this is gonna be our one way out of this.
Michelle: Yeah, well I'm not sure your way was much better than being shot.

 

 


 

Michelle: It was self-defense, I told you that.
Danny: And I told you that nobody in this house gives a damn.

 

 


 

Michelle: They're not gonna believe you, they're going to know.
Danny: Michelle, they are gonna believe me, they have to. Your life depends on it.

 


 

Danny: Michelle, safety is never guaranteed. Not here, not in my world.

 



 

Danny (to Michelle): There are rules in this family and they're taken very seriously. If somebody hurts one of us, then we gotta hurt that person back. That's the way it is.

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): I'm not gonna let anything happen to you. Nothing is gonna happen to you, ok? But you gotta trust me with this.

 


 

Danny: You can't kill Michelle… you can't kill her, Mama.
Carmen: Give me one good reason.
Danny: Because she's my wife, Mama. Michelle and I are married.

 


 

Michelle (to Carmen): You wanna know about your precious Mick? Your precious son? The drug dealer? He was a blackmailer and a pig! Your son attacked me! He had his arm around my throat so tight I could barely breathe, he almost strangled me to death! I was kicking and I was screaming and it didn't make a difference because he was too strong! And he started dragging me off to his car to rape me or worse and the whole time he was cracking jokes!

 


 

Danny: You have got to make her know that this marriage is real. You've got to convince her.
Michelle: And if I don't?
Danny: I can't save your life a second time, Michelle.

 


 

Michelle (to Jesse): You can't help who you fall in love with, you just do.

 

 


 

Michelle (to Danny): Don't touch me! Don't ever think that you're gonna touch me again.

 


 

Michelle (to Danny): I married you for one reason and one reason only, to protect myself and my friends from your crazy family and that monster you call mother.

 

 


 

Michelle: A church wedding might make this marriage look real, but it never will be. I don't love you.
Danny: Right, you made that pretty clear. But don't forget, this marriage is the only reason that you're alive.
Michelle: If you call this living.

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): I know my mother. And if you don't start acting like the blushing bride I told her you are, you, your family, your friends, and your beloved Jesse are all gonna be in a lot of danger.

 


 

 

Danny (to Carmen): I'm not gonna let you take her away from me. Michelle is here because I want her here. She belongs with me.


 


 

Danny: I know the value of our family, you taught me that. But you're not going to intimidate her, and I will not let you scare her off. She is my wife and you're going to honor that, whether you like it or not.

 


 

Danny: You can leave if you want.
Michelle: You're only saying that because you know that I can't.

 

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): I put my neck on the line for you. It's because of me that you and your friends are still alive.

 


 

Danny: You're alive because of me. Don't forget that… don't ever.
Michelle: How am I supposed to forget about it when every single time that we talk you throw it up in my face?!

 


 

Danny (to Michelle): Now, you're gonna put on your happy face, ok? And we're gonna get outta here, right now. Come on.

 


 

Michelle: What is this? Flowers, candles, champagne…
Danny: Want some? I do.
Michelle: This is ridiculous. When did your mother have time to change this room into a bridal suite? Please tell me this was her idea of a joke.
Danny: You are my wife, Michelle.

 


 

Michelle: I don't know what you were thinking or hoping was going to happen tonight, but I wouldn't sleep with you if my life depended on it.
Danny: But it does.

 


 

Danny: Will you shut up, for a minute? Or haven't you got it yet Michelle? All of this is for you. Everything that I have done, I've done to keep you alive. I didn't say anything to my Mother just now because I will do whatever it takes… I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe.
Michelle: Oh my god.
Danny: It's not about my mother, and it's not about my brother anymore either. It's about you… and me.

 


 

 

Danny: We're connected, Michelle. Even when we're at each other's throats, there's something between us. You know I'm right.

 


 

Danny: Why don't you just try to relax, huh? And you just might realize I'm not so terrible after all.
Michelle: If someone starts to have feelings for their captor, it's a psychological disorder!

 


 

 

Michelle: Are you really so desperate to be with somebody that you would go to someone who doesn't even wanna be with you? It's not gonna happen, Danny. Never.

 


 

Michelle (to Danny): This is not the beginning of wedded bliss, or a great love story, or even a one-night stand. There's nothing between us. Nothing. There never will be.

 


 

Michelle: I didn't see any pajamas laid out for you.
Danny: Well that would be because I don't wear pajamas.
Michelle: Oh? What do you wear?
Danny: Nothing.
Michelle: Not tonight.
Danny: Touché.

 

 


 

Carmen: Coffee? Tea?
Michelle: Strychnine?

 

 


 

Michelle: Just so you know, Mrs. Santos, I can see through your little plan.
Carmen: Plan?
Michelle: To break me and Danny up, to scare me out of marrying him, so that you can avenge your son's death. You want to throw me a wedding? Be my guest. You want me to wear your wedding dress and walk down the aisle and greet the rest of the family, I can do that, I really can. You can go to the ends of the earth to protect your family and your friends, and you know what? So will I.
Carmen: Bravo. You really have some mouth on you.
Michelle: You haven't seen anything yet. Looks like you're stuck with me… mom.

 


 

Michelle: What are you doing?
Danny: I'm trying to sleep.
Michelle: On the floor?
Danny: Yeah, and I was doing a good job at it until you woke me up to tell me that nothing's going on.
Michelle: Why are you on the floor?
Danny: Because, last night, while we were both asleep, I accidentally touched you, and you freaked out, so I'm on the floor.
Michelle: Well you were supposed to stay on your side of the bed.
