The Closer quotes

Let's just cut to the chase here: what do you want?

Brenda

The same thing you want, Mr. Goldman; to find the people who killed JRock, who from what you just told Captain Raydor, are probably the same crew who killed Terrell Baylor.

You don't actually expect me to believe you care about that do you? If you arrest Terrell's killers you'll end up making my case against you!

Brenda

If you know the names of these people you better tell me who they are before they do to you what they did to JRock.

Oh, sorry. Your usual scare tactics wouldn't work with me even if I knew those names, which I don't. Now, if you'll pardon me, I'm sure you have other people you want to try intimidating, and I have work to do.

Brenda

Please. Look, wait a minute. If you're determined to leave here without helping me, at least let me offer you some protection.

Oh, would that be the same kind of protection you offered Terrell Baylor? Would you also like to offer me a lift home?

Brenda

At least I'll know where to start looking for you when you don't show up for work tomorrow.

I'm not afraid.

Brenda

Yes, you are.

Sanchez

Chief, Goldman is here, in this print shed, right now. Everything you say and everything that you do will get back to him. You need to follow up without us. When you're not sure you can trust, chief, don't trust anyone.

Brenda

But Julio, these people are my friends.

Sanchez

That's what JRock was thinking when he parked the car.

Chief --

Brenda

[walking away, so angry she's crying] Don't talk to me right now. I know you refused on the settlement. I know it's not your fault, but I just don't want to talk about it right now.

Don't talk, then listen: I know this didn't end the way we wanted, but considering the list of suspects he gave us there is the chance that Peter Goldman will be in danger the moment he leaves this building. So what do you want me to do about that?

Brenda

So, ask Goldman to reveal his leak in Major Crimes nicely, and if he refuses, well, order him protection whether he likes it or not.

That is the right and honorable thing to do.

Brenda

It's the Johnson Rule, Captain. [wipes away a tear] Thank you.

Pope

In the interest of maintaining a low profile of this investigation, it would be best that you and Captain Raydor work together and share on this case. In doing this, remember how the words "together" and "share" are traditionally defined.
