Alexandra Eames quotes from Law & Order: Criminal Intent

Eames

He said when the time comes, he'll hook you up with a temporary partner.

Goren

Oh, no. I didn't even think of that. Well, what did you say?

Eames

I pity the fool.

Whether you like it or not, my work has entered your subconscious.

Eames

Mm. And I thought it was last night's potstickers.

Goren

Our shooter didn't write that letter.

Eames

Great, another nut in the mix.

Eames

And I thought that dog was ripe.

Goren

Yeah, it's very, uh-- uh, assertive.

Eames

Yeah.

Goren

Sheep's milk. It's, uh, "rochetta."

Eames

You can tell that just from the smell?

Goren

Label.

Bishop

$220 at a shot, sometimes $440, sometimes twice a night.

Eames

Are these late night withdrawals?

Eames

Cash machines at strip bars charge you a 10% premium. A $200 lap dance will cost you $220.

Goren

You see what you miss not working Vice?

Bishop

If it's okay, I'd like to come with you.

Eames

Sure. You can carry me up the stairs.

Shirt's chambray, size large.

Eames

Well, that fits Eddie Malloy.

Fits me, too.

Eames

Yeah, but you're not dating a widow with $40 million.

I would have thought the police knew better than to put stock in an anonymous letter. I assume that since you didn't bother to inform Mrs. Whitney of the exhumation, that this letter also names her as a suspect.

Eames

Like you said, we know better than to put stock in anonymous letters.

What the hell are you imagining? I'm interested in her acting. I signed her own as a student four weeks ago.

Goren

[Copying a mime taking place in the other room] Do you have a lot of students in their 60s?

No.

Goren

50s, 40s--

Eames

I'm guessing 25 is the cutoff for actresses. 26 if they're pretty.

Eames

Money's just been flying out of her pocket. Dance lessons, voice coaches--

Goren

She's servicing a long-suppressed ambition.

To star in the uptown Y's production of Mame?

Eames

Here's the check for the First Responders benefit, front and back.

[Reading over her shoulder] Five hundred bucks. Who's Terry?

Eames

My date.

Eames

Well, what was I supposed to do while I was pregnant? Sit home and knit?

[As she is being arrested] You can't do this to me. This can't be happening to me.

Eames

Sorry. Looks like you forgot your ruby slippers.

Eames

[Turns away] I'm going to get the bomb guys.

Goren

[Reaches in to grab a tag off the briefcase.] There's an ID tag on the briefcase.

Goren

[Reading] It's B&C Copier Systems. Ernie Dominguez. [He turns it to show Eames.]

Eames

It's so nice to be back.

Eames

Three ties-- clip-ons.

Goren

In case they get caught in the rollers of the copier. He's careful.

Eames

He should've worn a clip-on bomb.

Goren

[eating one of the pills] It's vitamin C.

Carver

I watched you very carefully, detective, but I missed you slipping them into his pocket.

Eames

Maybe because you watched the wrong detective? [Goren and Eames leave Carver to ponder that.]
