Quotes:

Woody: And all this time I thought Jordan Cavanaugh wasn’t the flowers-and-chocolate kind of girl.

Woody: I’ll find out what else the bartender knows.  It looks pretty open and shut.
Jordan: That would be a change. 

Garret: Jordan’s a good M.E., Kate.
Kate: I know that.  She just doesn’t….
Garret: Follow the rulebook?
Kate: Does she even know it exists?

Bug: Maddie likes the colors and sounds.
Kate: Of the morning news?
Lily: She cries when the kids’ shows are on.

Kate: Yeah, well, I– I– um– babies don’t like me.
Nigel: Is it mutual?
Kate: Entirely.

Bug: Lily!  This is not your fault.  Not at all.  It’s– it’s bad luck.
Lily: Bad luck?  Bad luck?  Getting a splinter is bad luck.  Giving your baby tainted food is – is…. 

Tiffy: I never even got close to the guy, not in that alley.  And you can’t prove anything else.
Woody: (glances up at the two-way and grins) You’d be surprised what we can prove around here.
Jordan: (to the glass and herself) Oh, this one’s gonna be fun.

Woody: Well, Ricky, all I can say is you’re about to learn a whole new meaning to ‘community service.’

Garret: Hell of a first day back.  I think I might take tomorrow off.

Priest: I think it is tragic when people let those they love slip from them.  Do you agree?

Jordan: I don’t want to make that mistake.  What happened to us…up there.  I want it to – to mean something. 

Jordan: No!  As in someone makes reservations at a – a decent restaurant and picks the other someone up. 
Woody: (dimples showing, moving closer to her) And maybe that first someone brings the second someone flowers?
Jordan: Maybe. And chocolates.
Woody: And the first someone does little things like opening doors for the second someone, paying for the meal… getting a goodnight kiss at the door?
Jordan: Maybe.
Woody: (sliding close enough to her to put his arms around her) So… where’d you make the reservations?  And, just FYI, I like carnations.
