Description:

A trip to the Total-Mart turns tragic as Jordan and Nigel pronounce the friendly store greeter dead of a massive heart attack - only to have this seemingly routine case take a bizarre turn when a phony lawyer tries to kidnap the corpse. Meanwhile, a zealous and possibly ambitious Elaine investigates one of Garret’s old cases, believing the original autopsy to be sub par, thus forcing her supervisor to take a stroll down memory lane in the hopes of defending his work.

Jordan: We're here. Count down to ecstasy.
Nigel: Oh you are naughty. You taking me someplace seeding and awful? Lowdown Motown. Hey did you bring any feathers? I'm quite fond of having my...
Jordan: Just take it off Nig.
Nigel: I just love it when you tell me what to do.

Nigel: You know that moment right before I took off the blindfold, I was so happy. Awful thing to strip a man of his illusions.

Jordan: I wanted to get my dad a gift.
Nigel: And this concerns me how precisely?
Jordan: I've found him something, but I need a 2nd opinion. You know a manly perspective. Well desperate times call for desperate measures.

Nigel: But if it was natural causes, why would someone try to pinch the corpse?
Jordan: Couldn't have put it better myself. Though I'd have steered clear of the word 'pinch'.

Greeter: I’ll give you the key to happiness.
Jordan: Oh. I’ve looked all over for that. Who knew I’d find it here at Total Mart.

Greeter: Don’t let the hardship of the past rob the joy of the present
Jordan: Not a bad tip. Unfortunately for me it’s about 20 years too late.
Greeter: It’s never too late.

Jordan: Come on 007, where's you sense of adventure?

Max: Am I killer or victim?
Jordan: Neither, you're more like an expert witness.
Max: That’s not how we play the game.
Jordan: Well maybe we should change the rules.

Jordan: He betrayed his family, his own kid doesn't know the truth.
Max: Maybe it should stay that way.
Jordan: It isn't going to.

Nigel: Hacking into this is a federal crime you know.
Jordan: Let’s just put it on my tab shall we.

Garret: Proof Jordan. Now put up or shut up.

Mystery Guy: You should have let this one go.
Jordan: I don’t know how. It’s one of my tragic flaws.

Garret: Sometimes the person on the table becomes more to you than just a body. Maybe you know what I'm talking about. If you don't then you're not fit to have my job.

Elaine: Has it ever occurred to you that someone higher up the line has it in for Dr Macy?
Jordan: So what? You're just the hatchet man?
Elaine: You can afford to be righteous. You're lucky".
Jordan: I can afford it. It still costs me.
