Clive Babineaux quotes from IZombie

Clive Babineaux

Nick's our guy. His ankle monitor puts him at the time and place of the murder. We'll use it to track him down and arrest him.

Liv Moore

Why can't they all be this easy?

Ravi Chakrabarti

[Ravi puts his thumbs up] Hooray for dumb criminals.

Liv Moore

How do you not have any food in your car?

Clive Babineaux

Because you already ate two granola bars and my emergency almonds.

Clive Babineaux

Breakfast taco truck was out of Migas, so I got you a vegetarian.

Dale Bozzio

Sweet. What'd you get?

Clive Babineaux

Chorizo on bacon.

Clive Babineaux

How did that get there?

Dale Bozzio

For what it's worth, I think you'd make a hell of an FBI agent. Seattle PD doesn't appreciate you. You clear cases like Frank Drebin, but they treat you like Nordberg.

Ravi Chakrabarti

'It's a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.' That's Don Corleone.

Clive Babineaux

No, it wasn't. And it was Clemenza who said that line, anyway.

Clive Babineaux

Everything okay?

Liv Moore

Why? Did I do something wrong?

Clive Babineaux

Not exactly, you're the opposite of distracted. Your efficiency is kinda scaring me.

Liv Moore

Idle brains are the devil's workshop.

Clive Babineaux

I think it's 'hands.'

Liv Moore

What did I say?

Clive Babineaux

We know Bailey threatened to expose your academic fraud. That gives you motive.

[Brody looks to Liv] Oh, you think I killed her. Yeah, no. No, I did not. I did not kill her. Bro, come on. It's me. The only thing I've murdered is ass.

Clive Babineaux

That's come up a lot. Brains. Missing brains. Brains in people's freezers. Here's my theory. There's some kind of weird brain cult out there. They killed some of your kids, you went after them.

[Brant Stone chuckles before looking over to Major] Okay, can we just get Jules Verne in here? Because I'm only licensed to practice law in this dimension. What the hell is he talking about? Don't answer that.

Clive Babineaux

Maybe a witness will come forward. I hear the tip line has been filling up.

Dale Bozzio

The tip line crazies? Oh, God...

Clive Babineaux

Dale, I... It's hard to explain.

Dale Bozzio

You've got to know you just blew up both of our cases. Your career... You can kiss any hope of getting into the FBI goodbye. Just, why?

Clive Babineaux

New evidence came to light. You know the feeling. He's not the guy. I just... Know it.

Dale Bozzio

[Bozzio tears up] That's the best I'm going to get? You're throwing everything away, your case, your career. Me. Just because? That's all you have? I don't understand. And it looks like I probably never will. [Clive remains silent] Goodbye, Clive.

Clive Babineaux

I'm here as a courtesy, Liv. Because we're friends, and things are about to get complicated.

Liv Moore

More complicated than they are now?

Clive Babineaux

My case against Major is solid. We have his DNA at the scene, we have the witness who sold him the guns, we have plausible motive. You are his only alibi. You haven't been deposed yet, but when this gets going, you are going to get hammered hard. It's going to be rough. So what I came here to say is this, think it over. Then think it over again. If there's anything you left out, anything else you want to say, now's the time to come clean.

Liv Moore

Clive, I told you, he was with me.

Clive Babineaux

I'm not here to discuss it. I just wanted to advise you to think about it. As a friend. Goodnight, Liv.

Liv Moore

Clive, I'm a zombie, too. I got scratched at the Lake Washington boat party massacre. And I turned. Like Major. I keep myself from turning all the way with brains from the morgue. That's where my visions come from, I feel out victim's personalities, I experience their memories. And I'm telling you this now, because Major has been locked up without brains, and he's going to turn. And if he turns, he'll infect everyone in that jail, it will spread out of control. You need to let him out. If you don't, by some time tomorrow, we can be looking at the beginning of the end of the world.

Clive Babineaux

I'm sorry, Liv, but... I don't believe you. I mean, I can't. I mean... You want me... [Liv walks into Clive's kitchen] Liv... Liv, Liv, what are you doing?

Liv Moore

[when Liv stabs herself in the chest with a butcher's knife] Do you believe me now?

Liv Moore

Major is a zombie.

Clive Babineaux

Metaphorically?

Liv Moore

Literally.

Clive Babineaux

Uh, poor Rob Thomas.

Liv Moore

This is how a skull breaks.
