Quotes:

Jordan:  I’m just going to go and feng shui my office.  (Jordan leaves, whistling)
Nigel:  So what did they do, remove the meningenoma or give her a lobotomy?

Nigel:  I love weddings.
Kate:  Of course you do.
Nigel: It’s a celebration of life and love.  Two people surrounded by friends and family beginning life’s journey together.
Kate:  A journey likely to end in divorce.
Nigel:  Statistically, no longer true.  The rate’s been dropping.
Kate:  Uh huh!  Well a wedding wreaks emotional havoc on everyone involved.  Not to mention you’re gouged for flowers and food that would cost significantly less under any other circumstances.
Nigel:  You’re just a ray of sunshine!

Jordan:  She died saving someone else’s life.  Kind of restores your faith in humanity, huh?

Woody:  Looks like it would have been a beautiful wedding.

Elliot:  Well the last time I was here nobody gave me the time of day. 
Bug:  That’s because you were arrogant, and rude, and you smelled.
Jordan:  Bug, I see you’ve already met Elliot.
Bug:  Elliot!
Elliot:  I smell better today. 

Julie:  Sarah had this incredible light about her.  When we were kids, if there was a snowstorm I would just want to curl up and watch TV and Sarah would drag me into the freezing cold to make snow angels.

Jordan:  Your sister saw a complete stranger being attacked and she did something no-one else would do - she helped!  Because of what she did, two small children still have their mom.
Julie:  I wish that made it better.

Woody:  I get thinking someone’s not good enough for your daughter, but shooting him on the alter, with her there . . . what kind of father would do that?
Kate: Pfftt!
Woody:  What’s with you?
Kate:  Guess you don’t know anything about fathers and daughters.
Nigel:  She’s a bit sensitive about betrothal, her father ruined her first wedding (Kate gives him a ‘look’)  Well that’s what you said a couple of weeks ago.
Woody:  Your first wedding, as in there’s been two, three, seven.
Kate:  I’m not going to discuss this.
Woody:  Awww, our little Kate, the blushing bride.
Kate:  (Pulls a scalpel on Woody)  Are you aware that workplace accidents are responsible for more loss of limb than almost anything.

Kate:  I’m going with you.
Woody:  To the Precinct?
Kate:  People here do it all the time.
Mr Carson:  Is Natalie ok?
Kate:  Of course she’s no ok.  Her fiancé was murdered in front of her, by somebody who didn’t want this marriage to happen.
Woody:  (To Kate)  You wanna stay . . . shut it!

Elliot:  You’re not what I expected.
Jordan:  You thought I’d be taller?
Elliot: Eh no.  Cynical . . . angry . . . difficult  . . . pushy.
Jordan:  Well sorry to disappoint, but I’ve turned over a new leaf.

Bug:  I thought you went with Elliot to pick up Keats.
Jordan:  He’s the cop.  Doesn’t need to me to help him take down the bad guy.
Bug:  Never stopped you before.

Nigel:  Historical society is doing a re-enactment of the Battle of Bunker Hill next week.  Her Majesty’s Royal Grenadier Guards needs some replacements, so I signed us both up.
Bug:  You should have asked me first.
Nigel:  Well you said last year that . . .
Bug:  This year I’m busy.
Nigel:  Ok.

Woody:  No-one’s first wedding should be scraped because her father did not like the guy.
Kate:  I am no talking about this!

Woody:  So the six of you, you’re all friends?
Lisa:  Yes.
Woody: Oh like St Elmo’s Fire, Dawson’s Creek, Friends?
Lisa:  What are you talking about?
Woody:  Friends hang out together too long, one thing always happens, someone sleeps with someone they shouldn’t.

Elliot:  Jordan said you found something.
Bug:  Eyelash.
Elliot:  I’ll take cryptic clues for 200!

Elliot:  You were supposed to stay behind me. 
Jordan:  I’m not so good at following directions.

Garret:  I know you don’t want to talk.
Bug:  I don’t.
Garret:  We just want you back . . .just want you back.

Nigel:  Come on, what happened at your wedding?
Kate:  Why does everyone around here think they have a right to know everything about everything?
Nigel:  We care.

Jordan:  I just attacked a homeless man.  The guy had nothing to do with the case, I just snapped.  I haven’t even been back yet twelve hours and . . .  (pulls off her black onyx necklace) . . . who am I kidding, huh?
Bug:  I held my breath for as long as I could, but they kept dumping water, more and water over my face.  You start begging for the will not to breathe, not to take it in.  But it doesn’t matter how hard you try, or how strong you are, the lungs beg for oxygen but instead they take in fluid.  And you panic.  I have a foreign sounding name and I look like what the think a terrorist looks like, and suddenly I’m being punished.
Jordan:  We walk around thinking we’re in control of our lives.  We’re not.

Garret:  You know I see you come in here, trying to change everything about yourself.  Like there’s something wrong with you, like you’ve got something to atone for.
Jordan:  Well maybe I do.
Garret:  This meningenoma wasn’t some cosmic punishment for who you were Jordan.
Jordan:  How do you know?
Garret:  Because I know the old Jordan . . . I loved the old Jordan.

Kate:  I was engaged.  My father told me not to marry him . . . that he wasn’t faithful . . .  wouldn’t be faithful.  He kept harping on it.  The night before my wedding I finally confronted my fiancé, I just wanted reassurance to throw in my father’s face.  I learned that you don’t ask questions that you don’t want answered.
Nigel:  I’m sorry.
Kate:  If I hear that that story got out to anyone else, you’re going to be missing a kidney.

Garret:  Bug, what’s happening?
Bug:  You’ve got me scheduled to work this Saturday.
Garret:  What, you want it off?
Bug:  Yeah, a battle re-enactment.  I kinda promised Nigel.
Garret:  Yeah, sure.  Take whatever you need.  Welcome back!

Woody:  Listen, I kept meaning to come by yesterday.  It probably should have been the first thing I did.  I was worried about you coming back too soon and I did not want to be the one to burst your bubble.
Jordan:  Well it turns out I did that all by myself.  But on the bright side, you did miss my cookies.
Woody:  I’m glad you’re back Jordan.
Jordan:  Me too.
