TV show quotes
You guys may want to put down your little wedding cake samples before I show you my presentation. Pretty graphic.
No, we're fine, doc. In fact, this is a really good test to see which one of these the Chief might choose for her reception.
Yeah, if you still like it while you're watching somebody who blew their brains out, this is the cake for your wedding.
[to Brenda, re: her angry father]In the five seconds I have to prepare you for what you're about to face, my suggestion is: don't argue, don't defend, just say "I'm sorry."
Cause of death?
Due to circumstances beyond my control, you'll have to tell me.
Maybe he choked to death on four triple burgers, extra cheese, six orders of fries and a Diet Coke.
This receipt was made on Friday night. Oceanside?
That's just north of San Diego. Looks like he paid with a credit card.
Sergeant Gabriel, you thinking what I'm thinking?
"Why the Diet Coke"?
We cut back where we can.
Mr. Stroh, I'm just curious. You defended Chris from molesting a 13 year old family member and you got the charges dismissed. And now, it looks like the same guy has murdered someone. How do you feel about that?
Well, first of all, doesn't look like Chris murdered this young lady to me. And if you're asking about his previous case, obviously the state couldn't prove its allegations. So if you have a problem with the legal system...
No, no, no...I don't think the sergeant was talking about specifics, but about how you as a human being justify defending child molesters.
All right. Most criminals, they do their time, and when they get out of prison, they go about their lives anonymously. Sex offenders are registered until the day they die. They're branded, like animals. Now, if the state is going to punish them more harshly than other criminals, then it also assumes a special burden to prove their continuing threat to society. My job: to make sure the state demonstrates that threat. So, Sergeant, if your... charmingly phrased accusation really does have something to do with how defending suspected sex offenders makes me feel, the answer is: It gives purpose to my life.
Didn't I tell you, honey? Claire's decided she's a psychic.
Oh, really? Oh. I did not know that.
Actually, it's not a decision, it's a gift. I've had it since I was a child. [to Fritz] Remember that time I saved your life? I warned you not to step out of the treehouse?
Yeah, because you pulled the ladder away.
Look, I don't wanna fight! Anyway, I prefer the word "intuitionist". People hear the word psychic and they think "wack job"!
Claire may be a bit touched, but she seems perfectly harmless. She might enjoy coming to my work and seeing...
What? No! No, no, no, no! I wouldn't let her anywhere near a murder case! Do you remember when the FBI sent 30 agents to drain that lake in Virginia looking for anthrax? That was her!!
What makes a good marriage? I think patience.
Patience. And separate bathrooms.
Up until now, you guys had avoided all the big mistakes people make in a relationship: getting married, buying a house and having kids. I look at this wedding today as a big red flag.
Hi. I just wanted to say that I have really enjoyed working with both of you, truly. And this really couldn't be happening to two nicer people. Congratulations, you guys.
Hey, you guys. Enjoy Italy. You've earned it. And make sure you "sleep in" a lot your first week out. Heh heh heh.
I don't know much about successful relationships, but you seem to have one. And I'm happy to have been a part of your lives.
I just wanted to say that its really nice to have been invited to the reception, and I hope this little tribute is something you will like, and keep and remember.
My wife died six years ago and I've never taken off her ring. Always love each other. Always.
Well, I'm...happy for you. Both. May each year bring you closer together.
So...just say something nice?
That's what I did.
Okay, let me think...
So Chief Johnson, is it true that the young girl was still clutching her doll when you found her?
Here's what I can confirm as being in the vicinity of the young girl: blood and brain matter.
Whether it was the driver or someone else, the kidnapper would have gotten rid of the car pretty quickly.
Probably somewhere near the airport. Lt. Provenza! I really need that car, and you seem to be awfully frisky this afternoon.
Well, yes I am! And Chief, this is perfect weather to organize a grid search for a town car. And I could really go for a nice long walk around LAX. It'd be good for me!
Ok, do we have a breathalyzer up here?
There's over 5 million dollars here, and the kidnappers only want a little over a million! Now if Summers was behind this, don't you think he'd want to take it all?
Maybe he wanted to leave something behind for his wife.
You haven't met her.
I remember Raydor back when she was a sergeant; filed a complaint against my old partner, George Andrews, said he was misogynistic. We had to look it up! Got both of us four months of sensitivity training.
Well, that was a complete waste of time.
[sees Provenza tear through some red tape around a crime scene] Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing!
We're headed to the newsstand to pick up a paper, read about the two FEID guys who got fired because they disregarded orders from the Pope.
Listen, I'm not going to --
Tone. Tone, tone. That's not any way to talk to a lieutenant or a deputy chief for that matter. Sir, if you do anything to interfere with my murder investigation I'll see to it that you spend the next month on unpaid leave. Is that understood?
I hate to ask ya'll this since I know it's against your nature, but do you think you could distract Eric's parents and his lawyer, sort of irritate them down the hall.
[makes grand gesture in front of Lt. Flynn] After you!
For heaven's sake, Fritzy, if we all stop lying to each other, how will we ever get to the truth?
I applied for this federal grant to upgrade our surveillance system and I think I got it but I need help translating this letter.
What language is it in?
Government.
