Brenda Leigh Johnson quotes from The Closer

Brenda

For heaven's sake, Fritzy, if we all stop lying to each other, how will we ever get to the truth?

Brenda

Are you trying to encourage me or make me nervous?

Pope

I'm just trying to figure out why you're so damn confident you can get this woman to help you.

Brenda

When you handcuff Dean Kingsley and put him in the back seat of your car, you're going to have helicopters, news vans and millions of television viewers, all escorting you back here to Parker Center.

Brenda

So?

So, are you absolutely sure you can, by yourself, drive back here without getting lost?

Thank you. Thank you. I know that was very difficult for you, but thank you.

Brenda

What do you suppose Heather would have done if she figured out what Dean was up to?

I hope she would have taken him for everything he's worth.

Brenda

Fritz

I thought you had a driver.

Brenda

Oh, I did. But I got mad at him and now I'm late everywhere.

Fritz

Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said anything.

Brenda

No, no, no. You know what? It's fine. Really. Are you still not drinkin'? Because I could use a drink. [to server] Excuse me. Hi there. May I have a huge glass of merlot, please? Thank you.

I put everything in a green plastic bag and tossed it somewhere over on Mullholland Drive.

Brenda

Could you be a little more specific?

Brenda

What is that?
