What if it's a trick on a grand scale, like an epic trick? Huh?
That's really paranoid, Munch.
Thank you.

Frank, how are the flowers coming?
What?
Flowers, flowers.
The lilies have landed.
GGrandma
Isn't it a lovely wedding?
Yes, it is. I'm Megan Russert and this is John Munch.
GGrandma
Munch? Oh, you're the one who took too many drugs and damaged his brain. I'm so sorry.
[Munch looks away in horror and Russert stifles her hysterical giggling]
Okay, here's the deal; I'm gonna take Mary home right now, and then I'm gonna find Lewis. And when I find him, I'm gonna kill him. I'm a very clever detective, and I will kill him in such a way, I will not be caught; he will simply disappear, and like all sphincters before him...he will not be missed.
How could anybody be too old for 101 Dalmatians? It's universal; It's like Homer: a great journey of the heart disguised as an adventure story.
With dogs.
Can I come?
Come where?
See the baby.
You've seen the baby.
I know, but I love babies.
Then have one of your own.
Hey Frank, remember when I said that I've never been invited to your house. I wanna come to your house, Frank.
No, not tonight.
I'll call your wife. Your wife will let me come over. Your wife likes me.
God knows why.
I'll meet you in the garage.
Oh, happy day.
Yeah, see when I saw that, I knew she would love it.
She's two weeks old, Bayliss. She doesn't know what she loves.
Sure, she does. Hey, Olivia, you like uncle Timmy, don't you? Yeah?
Uncle Timmy?
What?
Talking to babies in that goo-goo voice, like they're understanding. I hate that. I hate it.
Geez, Frank. What must you think when you look into this crib and see that face?
I see - Mary and me, struggling with two salaries to make sure Olivia goes to college. I see - me going ballistic because she comes in after curfew. I see - a guy, just like you, coming to my front door, saying I'm gonna marry your daughter.
C'mon Meldrick. Stay on the boat tonight.
I love you man, but I'm not in love with you.
I am good Murder Police aren't I, Gee?
Yes, of course.
I'm standing here thinkin' about Frank, about everything I've learned from him, the past four years.
His technique in the box?
Yeah, but it's more than that. You know, I've finally got to a place where I understand how he thinks. See, when I find a suspect, I like to get in their brain, and figure out why they would wanna take another person's life. Why? But Frank, well, Frank, all he sees is a dead body. Doesn't matter to him who they were, what they did. He strips away their personality, he makes them all equal in death, because if they have been murdered, they must be avenged. Forward, without any hesitation, without any moral dilemma, his mind's so clear on that Gee, his mind. I just don't know if I'm gonna be as good a detective as I am without Frank.

You know, Al, it's a good thing Russert runs off. Between her and Pembleton, it's like an episode of Nash Bridges around here.
[to Gaffney] Lewis in a dress? This interests you?
[Holding coffee pot] Who-who finished the last of the...uh...bagel?
Bagel?
Bagel. Bagel. BAY-GUL! Hot. Brown. Liquid? Bagel.
Oh, sure. Bagel.
You mean "coffee," Frank.
Th-that's what I said, isn't it?
Right, uh, the bagel.
[yelling] Who finished the last of the bagel, huh?
[quietly] Kellerman.
[to Kellerman] You-you-you make the next pot, huh?
It's okay. I know. I talk funny. I walk funny. I'm a little bit slow. But I still know this job. Me and you. We can find this guy.
Frank, go home.
You don't think I'm good enough to be your partner, do you?
That's not true.
I'm the same man. I'm the same man. You don't think I'm the same man, do you? You think I'm never gonna be the same? You kiss my ass.
We're gonna find Gerry Uba, and I'm not gonna stop until I put this case down.
I forgot about this side of you.
What side?
The obsessive side.
