Are you a family man, Detective?
Detective Van Der Zee
That's none of your business, Sy.
Sy Parrish
You're right, it's not. But I can see by your response and the ring on your finger that you are. That makes you a fortunate man. I can also tell by the way you've treated me so far that you're a good man, a good husband and father. A man who appreciates his good fortune. You're not the type of father who would cheat on his wife, hurt his family, abuse their trust. You would never neglect or abuse your children. Make horrible demands of your children. You would never ask... You would never ask your children to do things... things that children shouldn't do. You would never take disgusting, sick, degrading pictures of your children doing these things! You would never treat your children like animals. Will Yorkin had it all and he threw it away. He is not a good father.
