We got some whackadoo running around throwing acid in people's faces?
Not acid...lye.
All right. Well, I'll start with the nuts in this city and work my way up.
[Sees Scagnetti walk in with a pink bag] Oh, Detective Prada. That's a nice bag, matches your shoes perfectly.
[sarcastically] You're a funny guy, Messer.
You on break?
I'm just taking five minutes to eat. That's okay, isn't it?
Eating is frowned upon, Hawkes. [Hawkes moves to put everything away] Hey, I'm kidding. Relax.
It never ceases to amaze me how men of higher education can commit such...stupid crimes.
[about a little girl's teddy bear] So did Franklin help out or did he lawyer up?
[looking at three trees lined up and noticing one is bent over] Guess which tree needs Viagra.
[Mac has shown Aiden an unsealed evidence packet]
There are three things that I'll protect at any cost: the honor of this country, the safety of this city, and the integrity of this lab. As scientists, we have a great deal of power, the ability to assign guilt or innocence. But when we analyze a crime scene, we collect pieces of evidence, we make a promise to the people of this city. A promise to handle that evidence with respect, integrity, and good faith. When you broke the seal, you broke that promise.
I didn't do it. I didn't plant the evidence. I wanted to. Man, I wanted to, but I couldn't go through with it. I knew I couldn't live with that.
Is it that you couldn't live with it, or you couldn't compromise the integrity of this office?
You know how much this place means to me, Mac. But that son of a bitch raped Regina twice, and he's gonna get away with it twice?
And if the credibility of our findings is suspect, how many more do you think will walk? Ten? Twenty? A hundred? Truth is, Aiden, I can't have someone like that working in this lab. You're fired.
[handing over her badge] Truth is I can't do this anymore, Mac. I mean, I got to be honest with you. If somethin' like this ever happened again, I don't think I'd trust myself. And I'm sorry I let you down. Just do me a favor, huh? Catch this guy for Regina.
I will. This folder... will be right here on my desk till we get him.
I didn't know Evelyn, but I have to give her credit for one thing. For not being able to see, she was able to see right through you.
I don't cuddle.
This whole thing was an insurance scam.
Did you know rumor has it that Jennifer Lopez's ass is insured for one billion dollars?
Excuse me?
Five hundred million per cheek. They're her trade instruments, like a soccer player's legs or a model's face...
Or a surgeon's hands.
