Lena: It's been nearly two weeks, Sal. My arm won't fall off if I carry a few drinks.
Riley: Good to see you back.
Lena: Merci.
Sal: You get a chance to talk with Sanderson like you wanted?
Riley: Yes, thank you, he was very helpful. ... Pity about everyone else.

Sal: Eh well, I'm sure things will start lookin' up once you've talked to 'em.
Riley: They don't like stalkers, they hate lawyers, and they punch people in the face for a living.
Sal: ... so just leave the bottle, is what you're saying.
Riley: Please.
