That's very, uh, what's the word, Crews?
Enlightened.
TV show quotes
That's very, uh, what's the word, Crews?
Enlightened.
[voiceover] Revenge is a poison meant for others that we end up swallowing ourselves. Vengeance is a dark light that blinds all who seek it. The untroubled soul knows there is no justice in revenge. The untroubled soul knows that to seek vengeance is to seek destruction.
I think I might go into space.
Space?
Yeah, you can pay the Russians to take you up there now.
So after spending twelve years in a box down here you're gonna pay the Russians to put you in a box up there?
I think they mentioned something about jetpacks.
Detective Reese ... homicide.
Is someone dead?
A lot of people are dead, eventually everyone.
Car crash shortly after stopping here last night. A female passenger was shot.
That's terrible, who shot her?
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.
[talking about a car]
Does it have GPS?
You don't want that. The man track you like a dog with GPS.
Like a dog.
Yeah, yeah, you're right I don't want that, the man will track me with that.
Crews, you are the man.
Oh yes. Yeah, right, I am the man.
[After Crews gets into a knife fight with an escaping criminal]
I want you to give me your knife.
My knife, why?
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?
[About the husband of the murder victim]
We have to use his own strength against him.
His strength, what's his strength?
His weakness.
His weakness is his strength?
Exactly, it's like the one-handed clap.
Are you really Zen?
I'm Zen-ish.
[Crews pulls over his ex-wife and her husband]
What do you want, Charlie?
I want to be the unwobbling pivot at the center of an ever-revolving universe; I want to be still.
What do you want here Charlie?
[pulls a photograph of Rachel from his jacket pocket] I want to know where she is.
I just want you to drop Neil Cudahy.
[drawing very close to him] You don't have the right to ask that. Unless you want that right. Do you, Charlie? [Charlie just looks at her] I was looking for you and I didn't even know it. And now you're here and I can't have you.
You're married.
And if I weren't?
You have a husband.
And I think about you when I'm with him. I need you to be all the way in. And if you can't be all the way in, then I need you all the way out.
You know I can't do this.
What were you trying to get away from?
If I say, can I go?
No.
Can I get a drink?
No! But if you confess we won't charge you for murder one, or for assaulting Detective Crews.
Or for stealing Detective Reese's pen.
[Reese searches for her pen, while Easley stands up, reaches in his pants and takes out the pen, handing it over to Dt. Reese]
[Reese holds her pen in front of Crews while walking]
Here! Take it! Everything that goes down his pants, you're going to keep.
[Crews takes the pen, Reese smells her hands with disgust]
If I was a cowboy he'd be my goofy sidekick.
Kinda like how you're mine.
What's that smell?
That's humanity, baby.
[investigating a crime scene where a woman wearing angel wings was found dead]
It's a dead angel.
It's a dead woman with a pair of fake wings.
How do you know?
Well I know the wings are fake because I can see the harness right there.
Maybe it's a real angel with fake wings.
Why would a real angel have... no, no, I'm not doing this with you.
Just because the wings were fake doesn't mean she wasn't an angel.
Isn't there an off button?
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.
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.
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.
That wasn't close to hostile.
