Quotes:

Bug: I’m going to get back to work before I lose my faith in humanity.

Kate: Good you’re here.  I’m backed up on two autopsies.  And BPD is sending over another body.  Could you take it?
Jordan: Uhh…
Kate: Writing the new forensic chapter for the police manual is so difficult you can’t do anything else? (look from Jordan)  How much are the rest of us going to have to pick up your slack?
Jordan: Assignments aren’t my call.  Take it up with Garret.
Kate: I already did.  Guess it pays to be teachers pet.

Garret: I can’t put this morgue at risk because you’re bored.
Jordan: You think this is about me being bored?
Garret: I think this is about you being scared to death to do what you have to do.

Woody: How?
Bug: There’s a purple ecchymosis on the side of his neck.
Woody: A purple what?

Kate: Is that the John Doe they found on Beels?
Nigel: Beels street it is.  Abandoned building.  Construction workers found him in—
Kate: (cuts him off) I don’t need the whole almanac.

Nigel: Some people embrace their work. They even smile every now and again.
Kate: I smile.  At home. 

Kate: (to Nigel) I hate to break it to you, but there is no Santa Claus.  This body is a lunatic who put on a costume and jumped down a chimney.  It happens every Christmas.
Nigel: I beg to differ.  Yes Virginia.  There is a Santa Claus.
Kate: And he’s dead.

Nigel: (comes in a turns off Kate’s music) Don’t you have any Christmas music? (starts humming we wish you a Merry Christmas).
Kate: Stop.
(Nigel keeps singing)
Kate: Okay.  STOP.

Nigel: Can’t you even entertain the possibility?
Kate: Why?
Nigel: Don’t you believe in anything?

Kate: …but by the time he fell in I doubt Santa knew if he was on the roof or riding on Rudolph.  Can we move on little elf?

Woody: If the Ghost Whisper has any more flashes of where the kids are let me know.

Kate: You x-rayed the present?
Nigel: It’s impossible to tell what it is.
Kate: Open it.
Nigel: It’s a gift from Santa.  It’s for someone else.
Kate: You seriously need help.

Emy: Dr. Switzer.
Kate: What is it?
Emy: The Easter Bunny is in the lobby.

Jordan: Just because she has faith, doesn't mean she's wrong.

Nigel: She’s going to be alright.  Isn’t she?

Garret: How many fingers?
Jordan: Friday.
Garret: That’s very funny.

Garret: You know you scared the hell out of me.  You scared the hell out of all of us.
Jordan: So the cats out of the bag.

Jordan: I swear if people start tiptoeing around me…I’m going to kill someone.
Garret: Is that what you’re really worried about?
Jordan: No I’m worried about the kids.  I’m worried about the teacher.
Garret: Okay.  You let me handle that.  It’s time for you to think about yourself for once.  I’m going to walk out of here and close that door.  If I catch you setting one foot outside this office I just might kill somebody.
(Jordan smiles, Garret kisses her forehead.)

Nigel: How is she?
Garret: Hostile and argumentative.
Bug: Thank God.
Woody: How long have you known?
Garret: A couple weeks.
Bug: You know we thought it was you.  Researching meningiomas.  You should have told us.
Garret: She should have told you.
Woody: What does it mean?  What happens to her?

Woody: Could she die?
Nigel: I got to get some air.

Gwen: (to Nigel) Are you okay?
Nigel: Yeah…yeah I’m fine.

Gwen: Why are you said?
Nigel: Someone I love is sick.
Gwen: Are they going to be okay?
Nigel: I hope so.

Woody: (knocks on Jordan’s door)  Jordan?  I know you’re resting but… (opens door and Jordan’s up working)

Woody: Jordan. (interrupting her)  You had a seizure.
Jordan: Yeah, I’m fine.
Woody: Are you?
Jordan: Yeah, um… I’m sorry I scared you.  Sorry I didn’t even tell you.  Sorry I’m not just rolling over and playing dead so everyone can just fill themselves with pity.
Bug: (knocks on door) I hate to interrupt but…you’re up.
Jordan: Is that going to be a problem for you as well?

Jordan: (Garret walks in) Don’t be mad.
Garret: I’m not mad.  We both know trying to put a leash on you is futile.  It’s not who you are.
Jordan: Thank you.
Garret: You can’t work here anymore Jordan.
Jordan: Are you firing me?
Garret: Call it what you want but I won’t watch you kill yourself.

Woody: We’re all afraid of dying.
Jordan: Dying.  Dying’s a piece of cake.  This surgery (pause).  This things wrapped around my carotid artery Woody.  Doctor scrapes little to hard, to deep (pause) I’m a vegetable.  I can’t…can’t be that.  I don’t want to be that. (Jordan walks away.)

Woody: We need to find Grace Kohlman.
Garret: We’re all doing everything we can.
Woody: Jordan needs us to find her.  Alive.
Garret: Well I’m not God.
Woody: Jordan’s giving up.
Garret: Want a miracle?
Woody: What if there was one.  What if the mother’s right?

Jordan: Thank you (to Woody, for helping her find Grace).
Woody: You’re the one who had faith.

Garret: Listen I never wanted…
Jordan: I scheduled it for Thursday.  Endoscopic trans-nasal surgery.  Sounds like fun huh?
Garret: I’ll be there.
Jordan: I know you will.
