Megan Russert quotes from Homicide: Life on the Street

Russert

Sometimes, the best way to lead is to follow.

Russert

What are you doing back here, Tim?

Bayliss

I think the real question is, why would I ever leave here? Because unlike Frank, I love my job. I love it here, I love it here so much, that I think I'll just stay here forever.

Russert

So, Mary's pregnant?

Bayliss

Oh, no. I didn't say that.

Russert

Frank is your partner and I'm a detective and you're a bad liar.

Russert

What amount of stress could make anybody just go out and start shooting at people?

Bayliss

See that's the thing, he's not feeling any stress.

Russert

How can you tell?

Bayliss

Being a marksman is all about precision.

Russert

So you prefer quantity to quality.

Munch

All junkies do.

Lewis

Hey, look. It's Mr. Sunshine!

Pembleton

Oh, no, no, no. I'm tired of being the only one around here who gives a damn. You're looking at the new Frank Pembleton. Budding Republican and practicing selfish bastard. Savior of no one but himself. Shot of Gold Natty Bo. This is the new me!

Russert

One day you're gonna run for office and rue those words.

Munch

What if it's a trick on a grand scale, like an epic trick? Huh?

Russert

That's really paranoid, Munch.

Munch

Thank you.

Russert

Frank, how are the flowers coming?

Pembleton

What?

Russert

Flowers, flowers.

Pembleton

The lilies have landed.

Isn't it a lovely wedding?

Russert

Yes, it is. I'm Megan Russert and this is John Munch.

Munch? Oh, you're the one who took too many drugs and damaged his brain. I'm so sorry.
