(looking at the body of their vic, who was sawed in half) Do I even need to state the cause of death?
(hands Danny a lighter) You want to do the honors?
Are you lighting your arm on fire in the name of science?

(takes the lighter) Sold, but if you go up in flames, I get your office?

[after Rupert has said that he loved the victim]
Yeah, and nothing says "I love you back" like an order of protection.
