Nick Vera quotes from Cold Case

Vera

Rita was on the cover of almost thirty pin-up magazines.

Kat

[motioning towards magazines] Those from here?

Vera

[looking around at everyone] Research.

Vera

Croatia for a vacation, huh?

Will

It's a beautiful country.

Vera

What, Beirut was booked?

Vera

Looked for Republican Hotel employees. The maid who cleaned the room the next, all dead.

Will

Found another T. C. Bromley off Google. One-hit-wonder Arthur... from 1882.

Vera

That makes our doer what, 130?

Vera

Pretty girl. Looked great in a leotard. Did you see that special she did on aerobics?

Lilly

You in to aerobics, Nick?

Vera

What's it to ya?

Stillman

Don't let me catch you in a leotard.

Lilly

Whoa, whoa.

Vera

A little privacy!

Will

It's a specialized system. Not some push and play you get at the mall!

Vera

You're not going to let this go are ya?

Will

Lil, explain to Nick when you're a guest in someone's home, you treat it like a castle.

Lilly

Trouble in paradise?

Vera

I accidentally put a beer down on one of King Arthur's speakers here, for which I've apologized, multiple times!

Will

First of all, it's a tube amp, not a speaker. And you not only used it as a coaster, you moved it!

Vera

Maybe two inches.

Will

Yeah, sent the acoustics straight to hell and warped my Benny Carter vinyl.

Lilly

Two words for you guys: couple's counselling.

And I don't appreciate you ambushing my clinic time.

Vera

How about I pretend I'm your proctologist and shove my foot up your ass?

Vera

Yeah, and it's freaking depressing. Somebody crying about losing their girl, their house. I don't need to hear it, I'm living it.

Will

You got no culture.

Vera

If I admit it, will you turn it off?

Kat

Sounds good, sign me up.

Vera

Can you catch?

Kat

Hell yeah, I can catch.

Vera

You throw like a girl?

Kat

You guess like a white guy?

Vera

Oz into recycling?

Kat

Nope. But an old CI of mine is. Goes by Clifford.

Vera

As in big red dog?

Kat

As in white boy with dreads.

Lilly

Pennsylvania Military Institute, all male for 162 years.

Will

Well, mid-90s Justice Department forced almost every state military academy to admit qualified female applicants. Even Valley Forge and The Citadel are coed now.

Vera

PMI was only of the last holdouts till 4 years ago. Can't believe this is still an issue.

Lilly

Male institutions dragging their feet to admit women? Yeah, glad that's behind us.

Vera

Next thing you know, they'll start letting them be detectives.

Jeffries

Philly soul was the next step from Motown. Takes me back man, cruising in the drop-top, Billy Paul on the A-track.

Vera

Never heard of him.

Jeffries

Come on man. How about The Intruders? Delfonics?

Vera

Nope.

Jeffries

Alright, you've gotta at least know Love Train.

Vera

Yeah, song from the beer commercial.

Jeffries

Sonny was a rock star. Women, money, cars. He got mixed up in any trouble, PPD gave him a pass just like Iverson and Barkley.

Vera

Come on! Jockeys? Those knee knockers get the ladies?

Rush

Hmm, still a man on a horse. Confident, athlete... Winning combo.

Jeffries

I'm saying this town loves a winner.

Vera

Somebody shoot me.

1200 pound horse shattered my pelvis in '92. If you've got something to say, say it.

Vera

I hope the horse was OK.

You know what it's like to weigh 110 pounds?

Vera

Not since fifth grade.
