Quotes:

Jordan: Is this the part where I’m supposed to apologize too?
Garret: Didn’t want to ask the impossible.

Garret: Take your mouth someplace else. That's an order.

Jordan: Is she tanked up or just throwing a tantrum?

Jordan: (Looking around the room, at all the attention the death is getting) What’s going on?
Woody: They think I did this too her.
Jordan: (worried) Well did you?
Woody: (honest) I don’t know.

Jordan: Look Garrett you know me, I lead with my mouth.

Jordan: Is this the part were I'm supposed to apologize too?
Garret: Wouldn't want to ask the impossible.
Jordan: No wait I can do it...just give me a couple of minutes to rehearse.

Rene: I understand that you and Detective Hoyt are close. I wouldn't want to think you’d be less than rigorous in pursuit of the truth.
Jordan: Right back at you.

Jordan: (re: Rene) I really don’t like her.
Garret: I’m on your side Jordan, but don’t get cute! Just cover your bases, okay.

Garret: (To Bug after Bug gets kicked by the kid) You ok?
Bug: No!
Garret: Ok. (Before walking off)

(Re: Nigel’s scanner)
Garret: What is it, and do you have authorization for the loan?
Nigel: It’s a hot new scanner, and you don’t want to know.

Garret: Mrs. Montgomery is on her way in with a friend and her lawyer. So I want you to watch your mouth!
Jordan: Of Course I’ll…
Garret: (cuts her off) Starting now. (She shuts up)

Jordan: I just hate when he had to play politics.
Nigel: It’s his job love! Some days he could use the support of his staff! And some days he’s the only thing standing between you and self-immolation.

Max: I guess you don’t remember playing there at the Montgomery mansion as a kid?
Jordan: I did?
Max: Till you asked your mother why the Montgomery's had slaves.
Jordan: (shakes her head) Oh.

Jordan: I remember when I was little, Grandma was a lot of fun. We used to play dress-up. We'd bake chocolate chip cookies with little faces on them.

Woody: Great. Great. So while Detective Hoyt hangs by a thread, Jordan Cavanaugh takes a booze break. That’s terrific.

Woody: I just want to know why she died Jordan, I want my gun back, I want my badge back....I also want world peace.
Jordan: Is this a Wisconsin thing, sucking guilt out of thin air?

(Upon being told that their office has a conflict of interest)
Jordan: WHAT Conflict of interest?
Garret: Your relationship with Detective Hoyt.
Jordan: A, We do not have a relationship! And B, Gosh I wonder where that oil slick in a suit got his information?

Jordan: I'll prove he's a lyin' sack of garbage.

Lily: Saying ‘I’m so sorry’ all day really takes it out of you.

Woody: She’s dead, I’m screwed Jordan.

Woody: She’s still dead.
Jordan: And you’re still screwed.
Woody: Thank you Jordan. Thank you for your support and nurturing.
Jordan: Look, you want milk & cookies? Call your Mom. You want to fight back?
I'm your man.
Woody: Okay boss.

Woody: Jordan. Thank you.
Jordan: Well I kind of owe you one…or six!

Nigel: Oh by the way, the Montgomery’s little girl was pickled in ecstasy, also cocaine.
Garret: Did it kill her?
Nigel: Alas no. So we must continue our quest.

Woody: Hi guys. I’d like some good news. The Montgomery’s are suing me.

Woody: I am drowning here! I’m just drowning.

(When Garret tells her that she can have Bug help her to find the kid)
Lily: Oh thank you Garret! I knew that you…
Garret: What? Had a heart in here somewhere?

Elaine: You and I will probably never pal around together, but I’m not the enemy.

Bug: Mr. Staines died of a heart attack. The kind you just keel over from. He probably didn’t even feel any pain.

Bug: Okay according to this Mr. Staines is a, Gorilla… (Bug shakes the little machine) Piece of junk.
Lily: Don’t blame the machine yet, I mean after all, there are gorilla’s in Boston.

Woody: Jordan, I was kinda hoping that maybe you could find your way inside, poke around a little bit.
Jordan: Uh huh yeah, and how do you suggest I do that?
Woody: Oh I don’t know. Umm you’re pretty good and breaking and entering! I’ve actually seen you do it a number of times.

Jordan: Your predicament is making you sarcastic. I like it.

Woody: Ask your grandmother to take you to the wake with her.
Jordan: I would rather have my eyelids pierced, than ask her for anything.
Woody: Oh I see. Okay so when it’s all about (waves his hands about) Jordan, you’re willing to blast your way through hell! But when it’s not about (waves his hands about again) Jordan, we’re all on our own? Is that it?
Jordan: Woody! That was just a joke!
Woody: Jordan I thank you for your help. (He walks away) (turns around) and just incase it went past you, that was sarcasm.

Jordan: (walks into the morgue) Hey Garret.
Garret: Where’ve you been?
Jordan: Burning bridges.
Garret: I’m gonna hope that’s a figure of speech.

Garret: Listen the district attorney’s on the war path.
Jordan: Walcott wants to follow the Montgomery’s around with a shovel and a bucket.
Garret: Something broke that girl’s rib Jordan! Some force shoved it into her liver! Walcott would be negligent if she didn’t investigate.
Jordan: Railroading is not investigating.

Jordan: I'm actually known for my ability to keep my mouth shut.

Lily: Garry Staines made him feel like he mattered. Like somebody cared. In the end that’s all any of us really wants right?

Jordan: You know I never thought it would happen, but think I cleared my debt! I really hate this beholden feeling, don't you.
Woody: Admit it, you were worried about me. Come on.
Jordan: I was…I was afraid that you would just move back to Wisconsin and become a cheese farmer. Yeah, fields of waving camembert...no one fun to talk to...
Woody: (stern) Say it.
Jordan: I'd miss you. You bring a certain charm to the occasion.

Woody: You should be ashamed of yourself Max. I know what you’re about to tell me. You’re about to tell me to back off. That Jordan is a handful of trouble and I should just keep on moving without stopping.
Max: Well I was actually going to tell you I was glad things worked out the way they did. But you might want to listen to the little voice inside your head.
