This film contains some of Paul Kersey's best off the cuff lying
"My name's Leo"
"Don't I know you from the...Sunset police station?"
"Boise (?)"
"Check his safe deposit box; you'll find a lot of cash in it!"
"My name's Leo"
"Don't I know you from the...Sunset police station?"
"Boise (?)"
"Check his safe deposit box; you'll find a lot of cash in it!"
Indeed! there's even another example:
Posing as a fish-plant worker (Paraphrasing)...
Mitch Pileggi: "What are you doing here? What section are you supposed to be in?"
Kersey: "I dunno. Just hired!" *pulls uzi out of his lunch box*
LOL, oh yeah! And you also reminded me of this gem

His lies are more convincing than his truths. Like when the detectives show up at his architecture business after that goofy bastard in the ripped up shirt at the amusement park gave up those last 3 license plate numbers. They ask a series of questions on his whereabouts on a particular day and time and whether he's divorced, and his responses are dispassionate and needlessly vague, and for the latter giving way more information than was asked - "My wife and daughter are dead".
sharethats what I love about kersey, he never says more than he needs to and seems to know exactly what to say on the spot to usually cover his a$$.
I think the only one person he had an initial tough time was with fraker from death wish 3 who was onto kersey from the beginning and was a tough cookie himself.
