[Lewis and Falsone approach a group of kids consorting near a corner drug peddler.]
So remember kids: don't just say "no" to drugs, say "no, thank you"!

New rule. If we have a suspect in custody, it's murder. And if the suspect is unknown, it's the worst case of suicide I've ever seen. Huh? That's my new rule. I think it's going to make us all very happy.
She gonna be in my face; I'm gonna be in her face. Every step of the way.
Meldrick, in her face is one thing; breaking it's another.
Enough with the metaphors.
If not metaphors, what are we left with? We have a riddle, surrounded by a mystery, wrapped inside an enigma, and stuffed inside a body bag.
[At the scene of a priest's murder]
Heaven can wait. Homicide can't.
You know, the thing about Baltimore is we're an easy-going town. You murder one Catholic priest, you've gotten our attention. But hey, you murder two, we take it personally.
My cat did it, my dog did it, the devil made me do it.
Then check. If the devil is behind this, I want his ass in the box.
Blind faith is the crutch of fools.
The important point is that we win certain cases because our brains are repositories for intelligence and their brains are day-old banana pudding.
Stupid killers are a gift from God.

That's what the hospice movement is all about. Giving the patient a say in how they die.
With dignity.
TDr. Turner
You sound skeptical.
I've seen a lot of death; haven't seen much dignity.
Hey partner, ready to roll?
Actually, I gotta run to the dentist; I cracked a filling.
Which part do you hate the worst? The rubber dam they put in your mouth to open it, or the sound of the drill?
I think the worst part is when I scream like a little girl.
Invite Dr. Turner in for a casual conversation and treat her with kid gloves.
And if she declines?
A woman decline an invitation from you, Frank?
TDr. Turner
What would you charge me with, if you could?
How about playing God?
TDr. Turner
God doesn't make house calls; you and I do.
I don't play God.
TDr. Turner
Well, that's what you do everyday. You decide who's innocent and who's guilty. You say - you - I'm gonna get you. But you - I'm gonna let you go.
I avenge the dead.
TDr. Turner
Is that why I'm here? Because you think you need to speak for my patients?
Somebody's got to.
TDr. Turner
Who the hell are you? You didn't hold their hands when they were screaming and hollering all night long. You didn't mop up any mucus or their diarrhea or their vomit. You didn't clean the pus out of anybody's sores, or throw your body across theirs to keep them in the bed when they were thrashing around in their death throes, with bile and blood gushing from every orifice. You didn't comfort their families who will never ever get over their loss. Detective, how dare you presume to speak for my patients?! They didn't need you then, and they sure as hell don't need you now.
I come from a place where people think the moon landing was fake and pro wrestling is real.
