Trish: You’re English.
Daniel: I am. London, currently. Where are you from?
Trish: Here and there and yonder. What about yourself?
Daniel: Didn’t we just do that?


 

Trish: [to Daniel] You have the kind of good manners that eventually get you killed.


 

Trish: [to Daniel] We have forty-five minutes till the bar closes, long enough to get swacked.


 

Daniel: What brought you here?
Trish: I came on a plane.
Daniel: I suppose I met all your motives.
Trish: I can tell you my motives. I wanted to know the exact dimensions of hell.


 

Daniel: Are you for sale?
Trish: I’m press.
Daniel: We’re all press.
Trish: Then we’re all for sale.


 

Daniel: I’m here with the Watts people. I say “with”, but I’m here alone.
Trish: The Watts people, the oil company?
Daniel: Yeah, on a charitable cause, you could say.
Trish: Please don’t go into detail.


 

Trish: Now that we know each other so well, care for some supper?
Daniel: I think it’s kind of late.

Daniel: Yes. A mist.


 

Trish: I want to be paid in dollars.
Daniel: Everybody wants dollars.


 

Trish: Don’t worry. You don’t have to start thinking how to ditch me. I’m not here for your dollars, I’m here for the air-conditioning. You’re thinking so hard how to ditch me that your head is smoking. What do you have to say about that?
Daniel: I was thinking about something quite a bit different.


 

Daniel: [to Trish] I commit adultery often. I never really miss anybody. I feel I’m in danger of throwing my life away.


 

Daniel: Shall we meet again?
Trish: Again and again. Anytime you have fifty US.

Trish: [to Daniel] I don’t usually fall asleep in somebody else’s bed. I like your style. Normally, in my dark heart, I look down on the impoverished lackeys of pig billionaires with their poor report string back.

Trish: I’m saying that I can get you a wonderful piece on a nature reserve in Costa Rica. You’ll wake up to the sound of howler monkeys, you’ll have a deluxe tent and a private bathroom, which is a real steal in the midst this pandemic.
American Magazine Editor: Yeah. Well, I’d love to be woken up by howler monkeys at 7:00 AM, but not by you, Trish. No offense.


 

Trish: Things aren’t as simple here as you want to think.
American Magazine Editor: Okay. How about this? Is this simple enough? F*** you.
Trish: I am employed by you.
American Magazine Editor: You have never, ever, been employed by me. Not never, not never, ever.


 

Trish: What are you trying to say?
American Magazine Editor: I’m trying to say something along the lines of what I just said, which is, we don’t need your stories about missing persons or murder. I can watch that on CNN, okay? Just, why don’t you just admit to yourself you’re not a journalist? Alright? And stop calling me.


 

American Magazine Editor: Do you have my number?
Trish: Yep.
American Magazine Editor: Good. Lose it, okay? Bye-bye, senorita.


 

Trish: Just wait until American tanks come and crush your hopeless country.


 

Daniel: I had a reason for ignoring you.
Trish: It’s okay, whatever my true feelings.
Daniel: Well, I’m sorry.
Trish: Consorting with unescorted women is no disgrace, Daniel.
Daniel: No, it wasn’t that. I was concerned for your reputation.


 

Trish: Who’s that friend of yours?
Daniel: He has a project to grow rice with rainwater. What I do interests him.
Trish: He’s a Costa Rican cop.


 

Trish: Are you familiar with the American expression “you’ve got your a** in a sling”?
Daniel: I’m familiar with most of your expressions. I’m familiar with a lot of things. If you don’t mind me saying so, I’m familiar with the way that whores try desperately to act as if they feel superior to those of us who pay them, when actually, you feel quite inferior. Actually, I think you feel ashamed.


 

Daniel: Why don’t you look at me when I’m talking to you?
Trish: Because there’s nothing to see.
Daniel: Well, if there’s nothing to see, then why don’t you look at me? If I’m no one.


 

Daniel: You’re drunk.
Trish: Would I be sitting here if I were the littlest bit sober? No. No.

Trish: I need to buy some shampoo.
Daniel: You didn’t like the one you stole from me?


 

Trish: Why would they risk losing all of this power now that they have it?
Daniel: Because there are people here who still have principles.
Trish: Oh. Like what? What principles?
Daniel: Democracy. Equality.
Trish: Starbucks.
Daniel: I don’t know why I bother.
Trish: Me neither.


 

Daniel: Where’s all the money from?
Trish: That’s not your kind of question. Are you a little tense?
Daniel: Should I be tense?


 

Trish: Watch out for dog doo doo and kitty plop.
Daniel: You’re amazing, you know that? Nothing stops you. Not rain, not car chases, not dog s**t.

Trish: This room was originally hired by the hour. So, come through the door, you pay, nobody sees your face, nobody gets your name.
Daniel: For a life like that.

Costa Rican Cop: [to Trish] Do you know how many people are playing in your f***ing game? A lot of people are involved.


 

Trish: I thought you’d gone.
Daniel: I’m still here.
Trish: I thought I got rid of you.


 

Trish: Who is that Costa Rican? What’s he doing here? What’s happening?
Daniel: I don’t know. I don’t know who he is. I don’t know if he’s operating by himself. I don’t know who he’s in touch with.
Trish: Okay, well, you’re the one that’s supposed to face him, and I’m the one that’s getting my windows peeked into.


 

Trish: Do you have any contacts?
Daniel: I don’t have any contacts. Do you?
Trish: Yeah. I have a half-senile VC ministro at the inter turismo who can’t get hard, and a subtenente that can. And they both just got done cutting me loose because of you.

Trish: Who are you consulting for down here? Who on Earth would want to do business in this country?
CIA Man: Well, it’s not this country, specifically. You know, Central America as whole is kind of like a gambler’s paradise. You know, everybody is giving the odds a shake, whichever game they feel like playing.


 

Trish: [referring to Daniel] What do you mean about my friend?
CIA Man: Well, he’s one of the characters. Haven’t you noticed? He’s taking advantage of the local elections and meddling with the balance of power that was so difficult to achieve.


 

CIA Man: How do you know who he is, who he says he is? How do you know he isn’t… Okay. I get it, and understand how exotic everything feels. Everything is ten volts higher. Okay? And if I saw somebody like you, I wouldn’t ask for references. So, you didn’t ask for references. Big deal. It’s a mistake, but it’s not a crime.
Trish: Just another absurd f***head.


 

CIA Man: I don’t care what you think of me. I’m just here to offer you the best deal that I could make across two borders. It’s real and it’s straight. I don’t understand what kind of deal you think is being offered to you.
Trish: I think you’re offering to screw me.
CIA Man: Well, that is definitely the one thing that I am not offering to do.


 

Trish: I know you’re mad at me, but are you mad at me to the point of murder?
Daniel: You’re a North American female, prostitute drifter with a press card that’s been revoked, and you drink like a f***ing Apache. You’re going to get us both f***ing killed!


 

Daniel: [to Trish] You don’t have a passport, do you? And this whole bloody mess was so you could turn me in.


 

CIA Man: [to Trish] I would’ve thought you’d been out of the country by now. I thought we had some sort of a connection before, that maybe you understood. I guess it’s possible I was a little bit too subtle, but I’ll be more direct. Your British friend interests me, and I want to include background on him.


 

CIA Man: I just need a signature on it, and that signature has to be yours.
Trish: I’m not signing anything. Don’t you know what an a**hole you are?
CIA Man: Don’t you know what a delusional a**hole he is?


 

Daniel: [to Trish] It’s not too late for you to stay if you want.


 

Border Soldier: Your man from the CIA saved you from death.
Daniel: The CIA? It’s obvious, I suppose. You know, you work for despicable people.


 

Trish: [to the cop and CIA man] You’re very much like a team.
Costa Rican Cop: We’re an unbeatable team.


 

Costa Rican Cop: [to Trish] I don’t like people like you. I don’t like giving you money.


 

Subteniente: I came to return your passport. I am forced to say I am sad today. I’m forced to say I will miss you. Good luck, Senorita Johnson.
Trish: In a way, you were good to me.
