Episode Quotes
Sister Allison MacKenzie: I'll owe you a favor?
Ray: Exactly.
Sister Allison MacKenzie: How very mysterious.
Ray: It's a curse I live with.

Dr. Jimmy Monroe: Are you okay, Ray?
Ray: Couldn't be better.
Dr. Jimmy Monroe: You didn't just drop by because you've seen the light.
Ray: I'm still looking for the matches.

Lee Osborne: What the hell are you doing here?
Ray: Well, trying to save souls.
Lee Osborne: I don't buy it. You're not the type.
Ray: I didn't know the good Lord had a type. What type are you?

Sister Allison MacKenzie: You're not religious, are you?
Ray: I am, in my own way. I've seen a lot of evil. Here, all over the world. The horror of war, injustice. If I have a religion, I guess my religion is my belief in the inherent good of all people... and having faith in that belief. Sometimes it takes all the strength that I have.

Sister Allison MacKenzie: You haven't told me anything about yourself.
Ray: There's nothing to tell.
Sister Allison MacKenzie: That's not fair. You're telling me you don't have a past?
Ray: The past is so long ago, I can't remember.

Ray: Let me ask you something, Kennedy. Do you really think that... how did you describe me "a clever killer like myself would put the quote "murder boots" in my closet? That doesn't sound very clever to me.
Det. Kennedy: How clever is it to kill six prostitutes?
Ray: I really don't think you get the point.
