Jordan: No.
Lu: Maybe we should talk…clear the air.
Jordan: You thought I was a killer, and now you know I’m not.  I get that all the time.

Lu: We got one possible Dave.  Wanna take odds on how many Dave’s there are in this city?

Jordan: Swytzer?
Dr. Switzer: Switzer.
Jordan: Switzer, sorry.  See, when you come to a new place it’s good to make an effort to learn the culture.
Dr. Switzer: Excuse me?
Jordan: Pushy is not your best option here.
Dr. Switzer: Why because you’ve cornered the market?

(Woody hovering over Bug in the lab)
Woody: Tick tock.
Bug: A watched pot never boils.
Woody: Oh yes it does.
Bug: You’ve watched the pot boil?

Jordan (to Dave): You know what I think?  I think that you are a twisted freak.  And one way or another we are going to nail you.

Jordan: Please tell me that you’re not taking this attitude because of what happened with your wedding.
Brandau: What happened at my wedding, or the lack there of has nothing to do with this.

(Ivers is in talking with Macy and the rest are looking on)
Nigel: I don’t trust him.
Bug: You think he’s gonna wanna talk to all of us, cause I sweat under pressure.

Jordan: Nig, I uh, need you to hack into somebody’s computer over the internet.
Nigel: Haven’t you heard, we’re being investigated by the attorney generals office.
Jordan: So.
Lily: So more specifically, you’re being investigated.
Jordan: For what?
Nigel: The Eli Grahm case.
Bug: That thing with the lobsters.
Lily: Anything to do with Pollack

Garret: I assume you heard.
Jordan: Something about investigating alleged improprieties and me.
Garret: Lose the ‘I don’t give a crap’ attitude Jordan, Ivers is the real deal. So until he’s outta here.
Jordan: I get it
Garret: I’m serious Jordan, you gotta lay low.
Jordan: As low as they go.

Nigel: Having dinner with Ivers?
Bug: No, with Lily.
Nigel: Just the two of you?  As in about bloody time.

Woody (to one of the drivers): She was a human being.
Driver: I thought it was a bird.
Woody: You see feathers?

Lu: Jordan.  How’d you get this?
Jordan: We’ve got to find this kid.  I bet my right arm that Dave molested him.
Lu: You’re not going to tell me, are you?
Jordan: Ask me one more time and I will.

Dave: (shouting) Jordan Cavanaugh.  Where the hell is she?
(enters office)
Dave: What is the matter with you people?
Jordan: You can’t just come in here…
Dave: There’s a monster on the street and you’re harassing me.
Lu: Sir, you need to leave.
Dave: He deserves a real investigation and other kids shouldn’t be at risk.
Garret: Hey!  Hey, knock it off.  I said stop.  What the hell’s going on?
Dave: She broke into my house.
Lu: That’s not possible.  Jordan’s been with me all day.

Garret: Then nail him by the book.
Jordan: By the book?  What book is that?

Bug: About tonight.
Lily: No pressure Bug.  It’s just dinner.
Bug: Just dinner. I mean…do you know how long I have waited for this dinner?

Kate: Look I don’t know what else to do.  I’ve asked you.  I’ve put in a requisition.  I’m trying to get my work done and your phone is ringing off the hook.
(Lily shrugs, as if saying ‘what do you want me to do’)
Kate: You’re dry cleaner called.  They can’t find your brown sweater.  The wedding photographer said, and I quote, there is no way you’re getting your deposit back.  And you should really consider switching doctors.  No offense but yours is a borderline idiot.
Lily: What are you talking about?
Kate: He shouldn’t leave personal messages on voice mail.  Check your tape.
Lily: What is your problem?  Just tell me what he said.
Kate: You’re not anemic. (pause) You’re pregnant.

Limo Driver: Aw man.  How many times do I have to see that god damn thing?
Woody: Until I find out how you did not hear a woman getting murdered in the back of your limo and being tossed out on the express way like a bag of trash.

Nigel: Maybe you should go through these…
Lily: What are you deaf?  I said dump it. (Pause) Coming in here like she owns the place.  Clear out your office.  Get all your messages forward.  And oh, by the way…
Nigel: This isn’t about the office is it?
Lily: I’m pregnant.
Nigel: As in uh…with child?
Lily: You can not say anything.  I haven’t told anyone.
Nigel: It’s Jeffery’s?
(Lily nods)

Lily: What?  Now what? (Kate enters office)
Kate: Excuse me?
Nigel: Okay.  I’ll deal with this. (walks over to Kate) I don’t know who you are, or how you did things in New York, but there’s something you need to know.  Around here we treat each other with respect.  We work together.  We look out for each other.  We’re family. So I don’t know why you’re here.  Or what conspiracy you and Ivers got going on, but I’ll tell you this.  You keep harassing Miss. Lebowski and I will make your life here a living Hell.

Nigel: Hey Bug…this dinner you’re going on tonight…
Bug: No you can’t come.

Nigel: I just don’t want your expectations too high.
Bug: What are you talking about?
Nigel: Relationships can be complicated.  Rife with unexpected twist and turns caused by two people merging together.  Not to mention baggage from the exs.

Kate: Since you didn’t stick around after your drive by hissy fit.  Here’s something you should know.  I’m here to do a job.  Not to make friends.  I have friends.  I have family.  Back at home where they belong.  So asides from the fact that your mere existence makes my life a living hell, as you so charmingly put it.  I’m really not concerned about you.  You on the other hand…  Might want to be concerned about me.

Ivers: Mr. Townsend.  I’ve just been reading your blog.  It’s very impressive.  Do…you… have some…time for me?  Now not a good time? (makes face at the dead body parts on table, quickly leaves room).

Judge Dixon: Are we done?
Jordan: Your Honor.  I’m Jordan Cavanaugh from the ME’s office.  If I could just say something.
Dave: Stay out of this! (to judge) Can you keep her out of this?
Judge Dixon: Sit down Mr. Gilbert.  Dr. Cavanaugh it is not appropriate for you to address—
(Jordan cuts him off)
Jordan: We believe that Dave Gilbert has done this before in other cities, in other communities centers.
Judge Dixon: You have proof of this?
Jordan: No one will go on record.  Our detective has spoken with many—
Judge Dixon: I need something.
Jordan: It’s just a search warrant.
Judge Dixon: Some basis.
Jordan: So you want him to molest other children.  Is that it?
Judge Dixon: You watch your tone.
Jordan: (screaming) Give us a warrant. Give us the damn warrant!  My God, what is the worst that could happen?  What?  We find proof that Dave Gilbert is a pedophile?  And whether or not that proof is ever thrown out in court.  Whether or not Dave Gilbert is ever convicted of child molestation.  As least the world would know what he did to Stewart Manning.  What this guy does to little kids.  The world will know it and Dave Gilbert will never be allowed near another Community Center, near another kid, near another little boy ever again. 
Judge Dixon: When I issue a warrant Dr. Cavanaugh I need something to base it on.  (Jordan goes to speak)  Not a word.  Not another word.  And you wipe that smirk off your face Mr. Gilbert.  What you brought me here today is a cart load of hearsay, circumstantial evidence, but I’m going to rule that in all it’s entirety that it’s sufficient for me to exercise judicial digression.

Judge Dixon: You’ll look bad.  I’ll look bad.  But if you’re willing to take one for the team, so am I.

Woody: I promised him that he could see her and now I’ve got to tell him that he can’t.  How am I going to do that?
Bug: You don’t have to.
(looks in window sees husband with wife)
Woody: All the kings men.

Jordan: We did good.
Lu: Yeah.

Bug: So we need to discuss something.  Tonight I want to be absolutely clear it is a date and I am paying for dinner.  So I don’t want you worrying about prices.  Anything you want you order it.  I’m buying.  I want tonight to be absolutely perfect.
Lily: I’m pregnant.
(Look from Bug, elevator door close.)

Garret: Hey.  I heard you stayed real quite in court.
Jordan: I’ve done worse.
Ivers: Dr. Cavanaugh.
Jordan: My turn in the hot seat?
Ivers: It’s not going to take very long.  So let me tell you what I’m doing. 
Jordan: No, let me tell you why I sometimes color outside the lines.  The people we see here.  They’re people whose family love them and someone needs to speak for them to give them peace.  That’s what I do.
Ivers: I think there’s been a misunderstanding.  I’m not here about you Dr. Cavanaugh.
(looks through window toward Garret.)
Jordan: Garret.
