Dani Reese quotes from Life

Charlie Crews

I think I might go into space.

Dani Reese

Space?

Crews

Yeah, you can pay the Russians to take you up there now.

Reese

So after spending twelve years in a box down here you're gonna pay the Russians to put you in a box up there?

Crews

I think they mentioned something about jetpacks.

Reese

Detective Reese ... homicide.

Is someone dead?

Crews

A lot of people are dead, eventually everyone.

Reese

Car crash shortly after stopping here last night. A female passenger was shot.

That's terrible, who shot her?

Crews

Someone with a gun. Look, I admire a question answered with a question, I do, because there is no answer only questions. But I'd like you to try really hard to give us an answer anyway.

Charlie Crews

Does it have GPS?

You don't want that. The man track you like a dog with GPS.

Like a dog.

Crews

Yeah, yeah, you're right I don't want that, the man will track me with that.

Reese

Crews, you are the man.

Crews

Oh yes. Yeah, right, I am the man.

Dani Reese

I want you to give me your knife.

Charlie Crews

My knife, why?

Reese

Because I want to swear a blood oath with you and I need something to cut my pinkie. Give me you knife or I burn you with IAD for not using your service weapon when you should have. [Crews is reluctant] I need to know my partner is a cop and not a con. [Crews gives her the knife] Anything else you carrying from the old days? Sharpened toothbrush, lightbulb full of bleach?

Charlie Crews

We have to use his own strength against him.

Dani Reese

His strength, what's his strength?

Crews

His weakness.

Reese

His weakness is his strength?

Crews

Exactly, it's like the one-handed clap.

Reese

Are you really Zen?

Crews

I'm Zen-ish.

Crews

What were you trying to get away from?

If I say, can I go?

Reese

No.

Can I get a drink?

Reese

No! But if you confess we won't charge you for murder one, or for assaulting Detective Crews.

Crews

Or for stealing Detective Reese's pen.

Crews

If I was a cowboy he'd be my goofy sidekick.

Reese

Kinda like how you're mine.

Charlie Crews

It's a dead angel.

Dani Reese

It's a dead woman with a pair of fake wings.

Crews

How do you know?

Reese

Well I know the wings are fake because I can see the harness right there.

Crews

Maybe it's a real angel with fake wings.

Reese

Why would a real angel have... no, no, I'm not doing this with you.

Charlie Crews

Just because the wings were fake doesn't mean she wasn't an angel.

Dani Reese

Isn't there an off button?

Crews

I know she wasn't an angel, on-a-cloud-with-a-harp-angel, but maybe she was angel in the way we all might be angels.

Reese

We all might be angels? Crews, let me tell you something, you know there may be a few things that I don't know about myself but I'm sure I'm not an angel.

Crews

See that is exactly the kind of humble thing an angel might say. [Places an angel statuette on the dashboard; Reese grabs it and throws it away] That was very hostile.

Reese

That wasn't close to hostile.

Dani Reese

No ID on her or left in the room.

Charlie Crews

It's like she fell out of the sky.

Reese

She fell out of a window.

Crews

It's like she was no one.

Reese

No one is no one.

Crews

Now you sound like me.

Reese

[startled] Take that back.

Crews

Would it be so bad?

Reese

Do you really have any tattoos?

Crews

You wanna see 'em?

Reese

Absolutely not.

Crews

I knew a prostitute at Pelican Bay whose name was Angel.

Reese

They have women at Pelican Bay?

Crews

Well, she wasn't a woman woman, and just to make it clear, I didn't know her. Him. Didn't know her/him. But she did make a nice carrot cake.

Charlie Crews

Every moment you spend wishing you were someplace else is a moment you can't get back.

Dani Reese

What about every moment I wish you were someplace else?

Crews

She's twenty-two years old. Aren't they all on MySpace, YourSpace, Facebook, Faceplace?

Reese

How do you know about that?

Crews

Everybody knows about that. Don't you want a whole bunch of new friends? Don't you want them to know where you are all the time?

It's not about keeping immigrants out of that neighborhood, it's about drugs and money. What have we learned?

[in unison] It's always about drugs and money.
