“To Serve with Love” quotes from The Closer

Brenda

Lieutenants Flynn and Provenza, here, now.

Provenza

Chief, now I know you're a little upset, but --

Brenda

There are no buts, lieutenant! I am suspending you both for the next seventy-two hours.

Flynn

On what grounds?

Brenda

On the grounds that you procured outside employment without authorization, used LAPD equipment to conduct a warrantless search, enlisted a civilian in your illicit activities. Need I go on?

Provenza

No, that's a pretty complete list.

Brenda

And since Major Crimes has agreed to leave the pursuit of Mr. Hirschbaum to the FBI, I would be appalled if you, as private citizens, tried to serve him again by tracking a number that might point to his current whereabouts. [hands Provenza a piece of paper with a number on it] Tell Buzz that he and his "catfish" device are suspended as well.

Flynn

I say we just cut our losses and get out of here.

Provenza

We can't afford to cut our losses! We are in the middle of a very deep hole, which is now filling with water. We need the money to break even!

Provenza

[trying to get Buzz to go along with their illicit actions] And we'll give you a third of our take! Two hundred dollars!

Provenza

So, even if Buzz's insurance covers part of the repairs, if his deductible is a thousand dollars, we're still three thousand in the hole.

Buzz

What?!

Provenza

You know what this means!

Buzz

Yeah. I'm rich.

Provenza

No! You're going to split this three ways!

Buzz

Sure! You can each have a third. Two hundred dollars.
