Quotes:
Woody:
(in megaphone) Robert Tilly! This is your last
chance come out quietly and nobody will get hurt!
Jordan:
I’m beginning to think you learned how to handle
standoffs from watching Dragnet reruns
Woody:
Why are you acting like this?
Jordan:
How do you want me to act?
Woody:
Oh, I don’t know. Maybe like you remember you’re the
medical examiner, I’m the police officer, and you’re
here only as a profession courtesy.
Jordan:
Must’ve missed that memo.
Jordan:
Come on Bob. I can call you Bob, can’t I? I understand
that when you argue with someone you love it can be easy
to let it get out of hand. I know you didn’t mean it
happened. It just did.
Woody:
(points finger at the house and takes a step closer
to JORDAN) YOU went against every protocol out there
and not only put yourself in danger but MY men as well.
Jordan:
(toe to toe and in WOODY’S face) Well, excuse me
for ending this without any blood shed. I’ll try better
next time!
Woody:
Don’t expect me put a good word about you in there.
Jordan:
Afraid they might just give me a medal?
Woody:
Not if I have anything to say about it!
Jordan:
Fine!
Woody:
Fine!
Jordan:
Seven o’clock and don’t be late!
Woody:
(yelling after her) Just...just be ready!
Officer A:
(frightened) What happens at seven?
Woody:
(Growls) First date.
Nigel: I hear dispatch is giving it even odds. But
the lab is paying three to one on a no show.
Jordan:
When I said I wanted to go out a real date, I didn’t
think it would be this…involved.
Garret:
You have to admit it’s been a long time coming.
Jordan:
I think I’m going to be sick.
Woody:
You do realize most everyone we meet is dead.
Jordan:
Minor technicality.
Matt:
Just to be totally upfront here, I had ten bucks that
said there would be a dead body involved with you two
tonight. I just thought it would be him (points to
Woody) .
Jordan: What is it about powerful older men and cheerleaders?
Lily:
So, this is the pregnant guy?
Kate:
What’s with the bug?
Lily:
He ate it.
Kate:
Him?
Lily:
Along with cat, dog, goat, pigeon…
Kate:
Horse.
Lily:
Ah, huh.
Kate:
Where’s the fly?
Matt:
We didn’t find a gun permit in her name.
Kate:
And every firearm in this city is registered to the
person who carries it?
Woody:
What about you Jordan? Would you be able to see
yourself in a situation like that?
Jordan:
(snorts) That would mean seeing myself married
first.
Woody:
Is that such a hard jump?
Woody:
I have to admire him a little. All those women. He had
the art of juggling down to a science.
Jordan:
Even the best jugglers drop the ball every once in
awhile.
Woody:
Just so you know. I never developed the knack for
juggling.
Jordan:
Why do relationships have to be so difficult?
Garret:
You’re asking me?
Garret:
If there were any two people that had a chance at
happily ever after I believe it’s you two.
Jordan:
Happily ever after huh?
Garret:
Throw in a few easy to solve murders and staying away
from sharp objects when you fight over procedure and
yeah. I’d even lay money on it.
