Random Facts:
Jordan talks about the rosary her mother gave
her for her confirmation. Her mother couldn't have given Jordan that rosary.
Her mother died when Jordan was 10. You can't get confirmed in th
e Catholic
church until you’re in 8th grade at the earliest...these days the church has
been pushing it back till 11th grade (especially in MA it's becoming common
practice to be confirmed in 11th grade). So her mother wouldn't have been
alive when Jordan received the rosary.
She could have given
Jordan the rosary for her first Holy Communion which would have been when Jordan
was 8. She would have been around for that.
The group works out of the
offices of 4900 Beacon Street, Boston. There is a Beacon Street in Boston but
there is no building 4900.
Garret quotes Emily
Dickinson: "Hold dear to your parents, for it is a scary
and confusing world without them."

Quotes:
Jordan: I had this guys brain in my hand so I
couldn’t very well punch him.
Jordan: Then of
course there’s all the crap I see in my line of work.
People killed by drunk drivers, psycho’s who murder
innocent people for no reason, injustice. Ya that pisses
me off pretty good. Or how about a 10 year old girl who
has to hear from her 4th grade teacher at recess that
her mom was murdered. *cell rings* WHAT?
Garret: It’s nice
to see you still dress for success.
Jordan: I wanted to make a good first impression.
Garret: You didn’t 5 years ago, why should now be
any different.
Garret: Did you
loose something Bug?
Bug: My larvae. Thousands of them. Amazonia
butterflies. They were in 2 cases this…this… this big
Garret: Gee I’m so sorry, wish I could help.
Jordan: obviously something’s haven’t changed.
Garret: We might have to start writing his name
in his underwear.
Garret: Do you
smell something funny?
Jordan: Garret it’s a morgue. It’s supposed to
smell bad.
Garret: Thank you!
Jordan: You seem a
little stressed.
Garret: You have no idea. My nerves are shot.
I’ve got an ulcer, high blood pressure, insomnia,
constipation…
Jordan: I get the picture.
Garret: 5 jobs in 4
years, that’s impressive.
Jordan: you know me, short attention span.
Garret: (reading
Jordan’s CV) Obsessive desire to solve crime. (Jordan
starts to laugh) You think that’s funny Nancy Drew.
Inability to perform duties without causing bodily harm.
Jordan: I am not
angry damnit!! And who the hell is Evelyn. *To Max*
Jordan: Every body
tells a story.
Garret: (on the
phone with the cemetery) Because I can’t think of 3
words to describe my mother. Look it’s just a headstone…
what do you usually put?
Jordan: Good
morning Bug!
Bug: uh….What’s so good about it?
Bug: There’s 10$ in
it for anyone who finds my larvae. They are about to
hatch so
please don’t make me beg.
Trey: You know we
should probably go out and grab diner sometime, get to
know
each other.
Jordan: What you mean sharing a 10 X 10 office
space isn’t close enough for ya?
Trey: Good point!
Garret: (practicing
his speech for career day) I’m here today to talk to you
about a career in the exciting field of medical
examination. Sock puppet on his hand: You suck!
Jordan: You know
me, I always did have a thing for cops.
Max: What happen to LA?
…Oh Jordan jeez…you can not go through life poking everybody but God in the eye.
Jordan: You did.
Max: Yeah…look where it go
me.
Det.
Collins: So I was wondering, do you every date
outside of your…
Jordan: Species?
Det. Collins: Yeah.
Jordan: Charlie,
which drawer is Mulroy in?
Charlie: Sorry, he’s gone already
Jordan: Define gone?
Jordan: (rolling up
Mulroy’s sleeves at his wake) I wanted to see if he was
wearing the ring I gave him for our anniversary.
Man: you’re not Mrs. Mulroy (Jordan starts to
sob) I’m sorry
Jordan: (walks back to Det.Collins) He didn’t
kill her.
Garret: I’m
sorry... listen, you don’t wanna do what I do for a
living.
Garret: You want my
career advice… because here it is. Don’t follow in your
father’s footsteps. Don’t follow in anyone’s footsteps.
Don’t become a doctor cause your mother wants you to
become a doctor or cause your father never once said he
loved you in his whole entire life.
Det. Collins: Your
not a cop Jordan. You’re going to cost us this whole
damn case. Why don’t you stick to your job and let me do
mine. Do you understand?
Jordan: I’m sure
you’re a really nice guy. I mean your very attractive
and all. You probably graduated top 10% of your class.
Trey: 5, top 5%
Jordan: The fact is, I can’t go out with anybody
I work with. Believe me, nothing good comes out of it.
Trey: Oh man, that’s embarrassing. You thought I
was asking you out? Truth is you’ve got nothing to worry
about. I don’t date white women.
Det. Collins: You
really are your father’s daughter.
Jordan: I get all
worked up about things. I care too much about my case
and it gets me in trouble. That’s why my life is a
disaster half of the time. I’ve got no editor in my
brain.
Jordan: Truth is, I
don’t care if I die. That’s my whole problem. That’s
what the shrink told me when I was 15.
Garret: I don’t
know why.. but I needed you back here.
