He resisted the cavity search.
I don't blame him.

[Discussing the discovery that the victim had a second sexual partner]
There was a second shooter.
[Upon learning that a suspect's father hired a hooker for his son's 16th birthday]
Geez, all I got for my birthday was a transistor radio.

It's not enough doing good. You have to be seen doing good.
[Eames watches Goren peel back a blotter and touch all the stains underneath.]
I'm just checking which ones are fresh.
They must love you in the produce section.
[Logan and Barek are called back to One Police Plaza for an emergency meeting with Captain Deakins and the attorney for the City of New York.]
AAttorney
The suit alleges civil rights violations including the use of excessive force, going back to 1993.
This is crap. These were all investigated and dismissed by the review board.
AAttorney
All except the last one. Greg Sanchez. He alleges you threatened him with a pool cue and tried to drag him to a bathroom.
Oh, yeah. Him. The fence. I never actually threatened him.
AAttorney
Mr. Sanchez named Detective Barek as a witness.
Nobody talked to me about it. If they had I would've said I saw a smart detective use the power of suggestion to get life-saving information from a known criminal.
Hey, thanks for saying that.
Don't thank me. That's what I saw.
Well, hey. Thanks for seeing what you saw.
[About the FBI] Those people couldn't stop an asthma attack.
For a man who admitted having sex with a 16-year-old murder victim, arrogance is not the best defense.
AAttorney
Do you recognize it, Detective Eames?
Yes. It's a letter I wrote to my superior officer five years ago.
AAttorney
Please summarize the contents.
It's a request for a new partner, but I withdrew my request.
AAttorney
Please read the highlighted passage.
"Detective Goren's erratic and antisocial behavior, his volatile and bizarre interrogation techniques, lead me to have seroius doubts about his judgment and his mental stability--" I want to explain.
AAttorney
Thank you. No more questions.
Redirect, your honor. Detective Eames, please explain why you withdrew your request.
I was used to working with more conventional detectives. Detective Goren's style is definitely unique and an acquired taste. Over time I came to see that his approach was based on a deep understanding of human behavior. I came to appreciate him as an ethical person, and an effective police officer.
Thank you. No further questions.
[Outside the courtroom.]
I'm sorry, Bobby. I should have told you.
I am an acquired taste. I'm lucky you withdrew your letter.
SSean
I don't know where I heard it. Maybe I read it. On the internet.
No, we googled and doodled it. It's not anywhere.
Justice is a jagged road.
[Outside the courtroom seeing Judge Harold Garrett escaping the press.]
Guess the Garretts will be sharing orange jumpsuits for Christmas.
[to Dr. Ansel] Not to mention, the only reason you're here is because your parents went back to the drawing board after your brother died. That's a race you can never win.
