Quotes:

Detective:  Looks like he got high and thought he could fly.

Detective: I’m reluctant to share.  I have this vague recollection of you being a trouble maker.
Jordan: Share.  Or I get real slow, real fast.               

Detective: Hey look I can’t afford to have you making this personal.
Jordan: One thing you might want to remember…with me.  It’s always personal.

Lily: I want to work here because I’m good at my job.  Not because you like my…baked goods.

Jordan: Yeah, easier said that done.  How do you get to a guy who can’t even be gotten to?

Garret: It appears your peace loving weevils have devoured each other.
Bug: Someone put a female in the tank.  They’re man eaters.  I’ve been sabotaged.

Detective: Well how sure are you?
Jordan: That she did it—very.  That I can prove it—that’s a little more difficult.

Detective Frasier: Oh it’s comin’ back to me. Jordan Cavanaugh, of the fighting Cavanaugh’s.
Jordan: Yeah well, I keep tryin’ to get out of the ring but they keep pulling me back in.

(Max using a sledge hammer to knock down a wall in the bar)
Jordan: Yo macho man.

Jordan: But you open in three days. What are ya gonna do?
Max: What’s this you? You’re helpin’ out.
Jordan: Oh great, bar wenching in the only liquorless Irish pub on the planet. Hey maybe we could hold AA meetings here.

Jordan: So, I hear someone’s going to get fired.
Nigel: Cavalier, party of one.
Jordan: Oh come on, it’s not going to be any of us. (Grabs Taro card) Is this guy hanging?)
Bug (gesturing that the card is bad luck): oooh
Jordan: Ok fine, it’s not going to be any of you guys. But don’t worry about me. I mean, I keep a bag packed for just such occasions.

Nigel (talking about Jordan): I’m going to miss her.

Jordan: I’m not even done with trace yet, what’s the rush. You got something?
Detective Frasier: Yeah, but I’m reluctant to share. I have this vague recollection of you being a big trouble maker.
Jordan: Share, or I get real slow real fast.

Detective Frasier: Hey look, I can’t afford to have you makin’ this thing personal.
Jordan: One thing you might want to remember…uh, with me it’s always personal.

Bug: I thought we agreed that I’d be the last one to leave tonight…I need the brownie points.

Detective Frasier: What the hell is this?
Jordan: Laser range finder
Detective Frasier: Sort of remembered you as a low tech gal
Jordan: That was before I got new toys.

Jordan: Whoa, three cases a beer. You know the first couple a nights might be a little slow.

Jordan:…so leave my Dad alone or I bury the truth so deep it’ll never see the light of day.
Blackie: You would never lie. Especially in court, I know you better than that.
Jordan: When someone messes with my Dad suddenly my ethics go right out the window.
Blackie: You’re bluffing.
Jordan: Try me.

Garret: If my leaving can save all your jobs then I’ve done my job.

Jordan: Never gonna happen. Besides, they’re probably going to fire me since I’m the only one who didn’t even show up for the evaluation, so hey problem solved.
Lily (shouting): Oh, just come off of it Jordan. We all know that this place and this job mean as much to you as they do to us so stop acting like you don’t care.
(The room is quiet with everyone looking at each other)
Lily: I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to snap at you, I just….
Jordan: No, you’re right. Like it or not we’re a family. So, now we got to figure out how to keep this family together.

Garret: Nigel you agreed to give up…
Nigel: Please, don’t say it out loud. Makes my stomach churn to think of it., but yeah.
Bug: And we can get the larva incubator next year. I’ve discovered that Trey’s old gym socks are a perfect substitute.
Trey: A endless supply for which I’m ready to donate to the cause.
Jordan: And who needs vacation days, you know, when every here is like a day at the beach.

Nigel (to Max): Trust me I think I can help you out on that. I know plenty of heavy drinkers.
Bug: Oh, there’s a shock.

Bug: Can you really afford to lose another brain cell?
Nigel: Don’t you worry my friend. Not only is my intelligence not imperialized by alcohol, but I actually get smarter with every sip.
(Bug rolls his eyes)
Nigel: It’s true, it’s true. By the time I’m piss drunk my IQ reaches genius level.

Jordan: I would like to purpose a toast. Ok, number one to my Dad.
Max: Thank you
Jordan: Ok, to all of us, thank you for coming. And also number one, to family.
(Everyone raises classes and cheers)
