Random Facts:

10-16-20 Draft: Title was originally Reach Out and Touch Someone

- The quote "Hate the sin, love the sinner" comes from Mahatma Gandhi (Indian ascetic & nationalist leader (1869-1948)).  A page I found interesting--argues the fact that this isn't preached in bible.

Goofs:

- In the email (that Nigel reads) to Garret from Dr. Sanchez, Garret's name is misspelled. 

Music:

Quotes:

Jordan: Yeah I’m weighing the options.
Garret: You’re down to one.
Jordan: My life.  My brain.  My decision.

Bug: Uh…um…uh…the probation kids are here.  Assault, assault, burglary, and assault.
Garret: Kate’s turn.
Bug: She’s not coming in.
Garret: Then you’re up.
Bug: I…I…I don’t do well with juvenile delinquents.

Jordan: Woody.
Woody: Thanks for speeding right over.
Jordan: Sorry.  I spaced on which entrance, then I had to drive all the way around.
Woody: You’re getting senile.  You should write stuff down. 

Garret: Show some respect.
Charlie: Man, who put you in charge?
Garret: God.

(Garret shows the kids two men who killed each other)
Garret: Does anyone see a lesson here?
Charlie: Yeah, if you’re going to shot somebody make sure they don’t have any damn brothers.

Nigel: Aren’t you supposed to be shuffling little felons?
Bug: Relieve of duty.

Garret: After trace, comes autopsy.
Charlie: Is that where they chop up the bodies?

Garret: Is this supposed to be funny?
Charlie: Yeah.
Garret: Well I’m not laughing.
Charlie: Yeah, you look like you ain’t laugh your entire life.

(Watching Garret)
Bug: He seems a little cranky.
Nigel: Irritability is one of the symptoms of meningioma.

Marissa: Go away.
Sister: We're here for you.  We don't approve, but you know... Hate the sin, love the sinner.

Nigel: That swab we took from the victims arm.  It’s still sealed.  It hasn’t been processed.
Jordan: But I matched it to Marissa Owens.
Nigel: How many samples did you make from Marissa’s blood?
Jordan: Four.
Nigel: Two are gone.  You tested her blood against herself.  How could you make a mistake like that? (Jordan going fuzzy).  They arrested her based on your findings.  Were you distracted?>  Was it Dr. Macy?  Is that it?
Jordan: What?
Nigel: Come on.  Bug and I know about his meningenoma, okay.
Jordan: What are you talking about?  Look we have to rerun this test.

Woody: You tested her sample against her sample?
Jordan: I don’t know why…
Woody: I arrested Marissa Owens based on your screw up.  I put her through hell as if she wasn’t there already.
(Woody cuts Jordan off)
Woody: Now she’s got a case for wrongful arrest and you compromised this entire investigation.
Jordan: I’m sorry.
Woody: Sorry?
Jordan: Can we stay focused on the baby?

Jordan: Where are you going?
Woody: I’m going to release Marissa.  Apologize and hope she doesn’t hit us with a big honking lawsuit.

Charlie: Show me the way.
Garret: That’s beyond my power.

(Jordan’s phone rings)
Jordan: Woody.
Woody: We found Carla Owens’s car in the bottom of a ravine near Maine and Brookline.
Jordan: Any sign of the baby.
Woody: No, but there is a lot of blood inside.  Just take Maine all the way past the Y and look for cruisers.
Jordan: Okay.
Woody: You writing all this down?  We don’t have time for you to get lost.
Jordan: Yeah. I’ll be there in a half hour.  And Woody…
Woody: Yeah?
Jordan: Thanks for calling me.
Woody: You weren’t my first choice.  Nobody else was available.

Bug: What are we supposed to do?  If Jordan blew you off about Dr. Macy then it’s meant to be a secret.
Nigel: I don’t care.

Nigel: We need to talk to you about Dr. Macy.
Jordan: No.  Not now Nige.
Nigel: Yes now.
Bug: Look is he going to have the surgery or is he going to do the knife?
Jordan: I don’t know where you guys got the idea that Garret’s sick, but he’s fine.
Nigel: Why do you keep covering for him?
Jordan: (shouting) He’s fine.  So just back off, okay?

Garret: Life isn’t fair.
Charlie: It sucks.
Garret: Except for when it doesn’t.
Charlie: When’s that?
Garret: When you decide it doesn’t.

Woody: Can you tell what it is?
Nigel: Paper.
Woody: I know that.  I mean what is it?
Nigel:  Well there’s a couple of isolated letters…unless you want to buy a vowel it’s too saturated with blood.

Charlie: Are you going to sign my sheet or not?
(Garret signs sheet)
Charlie: Still don’t like you.
Garret: I know.

Nigel: How are you feeling?
Garret: Fine.
Bug: You sure?
Garret: Okay, one of you is going to tell me what’s going on.
 

Garret: And how exactly did you see my emails.
(pause, then Nigel changes subject)
Nigel: consult huh?
Garret: Yes, freaks.
(Nigel tries to give Macy a hug.)
Garret: No. No hugs.
Nigel: No problem.
Garret: And stay the hell out of my email.

Sister: Abomination.
Woody: Judge not least ye be judged.
Jordan: condemn not least ye be condemned.
(Look from Woody.)
Jordan: What?  I went to Sunday school.  I must have missed the day they said it was okay to kill and kidnap.

Jordan: I better get back to the morgue.
Woody: Um...hey.  I’m sorry I didn’t let up on you before.  I was frustrated.
Jordan: Hey I screwed up.  I would have chewed your head off if you’d done that to Marissa.

Woody: You know you can talk to me right?
Jordan: Yeah. Well…I’m good.

Garret: I’m taking you out of the rotation.
Jordan: What?
Garret: No autopsy.  No crime scene.  No lab work.
Jordan: Is this your way of blackmailing me into surgery?
Garret: Listen.  You won’t let me help you.  I can’t do anything about that.  But I can’t cover for you anymore.
Jordan: Garret.
Garret: You have to deal with this.
