John Stillman quotes from Cold Case

Cops didn't do that in the old days, not when you came on the force.

Stillman

Department has changed a lot.

Have you changed, Lieutenant?

Stillman

Scotty hates country.

Jeffries

That's just wrong. I'll loan you come CDs.

Stillman

"She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy."

Jeffries

"Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off."

Scotty

Can hardly wait.

Lilly

Bound? You're saying the guy was pushed?

Stillman

He was a registered sex offender.

Scotty

(sarcastically) Oh, that's a darn shame.

Stillman

Yeah, who do you want to be with when the world ends?

Vera

I want to be with the guy who knows it's a hoax.

Lilly

Family's probably still hoping for a safe return.

Stillman

Don't they always?

Vera

Could have had a nosebleed playing piano.

Stillman

Deaf kid playing the piano, Nick?

Vera

Spot of blood ain't conclusive, Boss.

Stillman

[Gestures to man] James. [James turns out the lights showing large amounts of blood in the room.] Conclusive enough for you?

Vera

That ain't a nosebleed.

Valens

Even back at Reeves High, stealing from the teacher's lounge.

That wasn't me.

Stillman

Prison, parole, prison again. Maybe crime isn't your thing.

Kat

You meet Will's girlfriend yet?

Stillman

No, but I heard her all the way down the hall.

Kat

Delightful woman.

Stillman

You get anything from her?

Kat

Hope so, or he's about to pitch an old lady out the window.

Kat

Saw the latest jackpot, just went up to 33 million.

Will

Nick sucked you in on that pool?

Kat

Well, 33 will pay for a lot of old Blue Note vinyl. What about you boss?

Stillman

Got a better chance of winning American Idol.

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

Thank you for coming in, Mr. Murillo.

It's Colonel Murillo. I think I've earned that.

Stillman

You can have a seat.

Lilly

You have a problem with Cadet Butler enrolling at PMI, Colonel?

What's this all about? [Looks at Stillman] Lieutenant?

Stillman

I believe the detective asked you a question.

What I have a problem with is irrelevant in view of what the courts have decided, now isn't it?

Lilly

It isn't when you allow a student to be assaulted on campus.

That's a bit presumptuous. Am I on the stand here?

Lilly

You knew Kate was attacked; you should have stopped it from going further.

I knew no such thing.

Lilly

We have a cadet who witnessed it. Told you what he saw.

What Cadet Keith Henderson told me was hearsay: I chose to go directly to the horse's mouth.

Lilly

So that's it? You just let her go?

What the hell would you have me do? The Honor Code is the backbone of the Institute. If she says it didn't happen, it didn't.

Lilly

She was trying to suck it up. To fit in with the male cadets.

Well, then. She made her choice, didn't she?

Stillman

Telegram sent from the ship to Darcy's boyfriend in Fishtown, Henry Speck: "I can't."

Jeffries

Can't what? Swim...

Just can't help yourself, John. Gotta find new ways to piss me off.

Stillman

Keeps me busy during the slow times.
