Brenda Leigh Johnson quotes from The Closer

Brenda

So why don't you just ask me about it? I know what you're thinking.

Fritz

Ok, I did read the article about your ethics investigation.

Brenda

And you were wondering what all the hoopla was about.

Fritz

Well, it's none of my business, really, but, uh, yeah.

Provenza

[Eavesdropping with Buzz over Brenda's wire] Ok. Here we go. Spill your guts.

Brenda

It was my crazy ex-husband...

Buzz

Lieutenant, this is making me really uncomfortable.

Provenza

Buzz, don't make me pull out my gun.

Um, I was just wondering... Is there a reward for reporting a murder?

Brenda

Yes. [Takes the boy's hand and breaks into a smile] Thank you so much for serving the community.

[Sticks a gun in Gage's side] You feel that in your gut?

Are you loaded?

Brenda

Get off me or you're going to find out!

Low functioning autistics have no language skills; they cannot survive independently by themselvles. Keith is not like that. According to his school records, he's very intelligent but he does have issues : he's unemotional, frequently says inappropriate things, he's literal-minded, he gets fixated on minor details, he gets agitated when his routine is altered and he's extremely uncooperative when anything or anyone gets in the way of him doing what he wants.

Flynn

Does he have a Georgia accent?

[Holding out a meowing pillowcase] The cat's sick.

Gabriel

You brought your cat to a crime scene?

Brenda

It's not my cat, it just lives with me and eats at my house.

Provenza

[Handing out latex gloves] You might want to double up on your protective gear since this is a homocide.

Brenda

You seem to be having trouble with your pronunciation this evening.

Brenda

They can even register as domestic partners, have the same rights as married people.

Provenza

Serves 'em right, too. Why shouldn't they suffer just like everybody else?
