Brenda Leigh Johnson quotes from The Closer

Brenda

So, you both worked for the Pruitts?

Yes.

Brenda

And were you working at the Pruitts' house two evenings ago?

[Looking at his partner, not really understanding English] Yes.

Brenda

And did you climb Mt. Everest in your undershorts?

Yes

Sanchez

Maybe this would go a little quicker if I handled it, Chief.

Brenda

Ya think?

Sanchez

[Imitating a heavy accent] Jes.

Brenda

Did he just say avocado?

Buzz

No. Abogado.

Brenda

What does that mean?

Buzz

Attorney.

If you insist on coming back here without our permission, I intend to report you to your superiors for harassment.

Brenda

You might have to take a number.

Gabriel

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Brenda

I don't know. What are you thinking?

Gabriel

I'm thinking that no one could have gotten from here to Pruitt's house and back in under an hour. I mean there were shows at the Greek and Hollywood Bowl. It would have been bumper to bumper for miles. Is that what you were thinking?

Brenda

No. I was thinking about the subway.

Gabriel

Oh, yeah. We got a subway.

Brenda

Lt. Provenza...

Provenza

Flynn and I are going to go back to Sandy.

Brenda

Why, exactly?

Flynn

Tie up loose ends.

Provenza

Girl's loose ends need tying.

Brenda

Lieutenant Flynn, your resignation surprised me most of all. The whole time I've been here, you've never said one complimentary thing about or to me.

Flynn

Chief, you have really great legs.

Gabriel

Well, I'd say the wife has a pretty airtight alibi.

Brenda

You know who needs airtight alibis? Murderers.

So, he's really dead?

Brenda

Yes, I'm so sorry.

Will this affect property values?

Brenda

[After catching Provenza mocking her accent and task delegation] Lt. Provenza, I need this hurried through [using extra-heavy accent] SID, in about two shakes of a lamb's tail. [shaking wet toupee at him] Thank you so very much. Let's keep it taped off, ladies and gentlemen, because until we understand things better...[turns and looks at Provenza]

Provenza

Uh, [adding heavy southern accent] this is a crime scene, y'all.

Fritz

I made waffles.

Brenda

I have a waffle iron?

Fritz

Mm hmm.

Brenda
