Quotes:

(talking about Jordan)
Elaine: Garret I’m serious. She is impossible to work with.
Garret: Here’s a tip. It’s easier if you don’t listen when she talks.

Walcott: You’ve had the damn body for 4 days. How many test do you need?
Garret: As many as it takes to get it right.
Walcott: You should put that on a bumper sticker.
Garret: Actually it’s tattooed on my ass. You want to see it?

Garret: Look it wasn’t my intention to embarrassed Rene Walcott.
Nigel: So I guess it’s just one of life’s happy coincidences then.

Garret: Yeah. You and me teaming up was a bad idea.
Walcott: Finally. Common ground.

Walcott: I was wrong about you Macy.
Garret: You mean I’m not arrogant, stubborn and self-righteous.
Walcott: All that and more. You’re also damn good at your job.

Jordan:  . . .  right and I've got a circus of clowns juggling in my butt.
Elaine:  Well that would explain a lot.

Elaine:  You have got to do something about Dr Cavanaugh.
Garret:  Actually I don't, that's the beauty of being the boss.

Emmy:  She wants to speak to you direct.
Garret:  We all want things we can't have Emmy . . . I wanted to be taller.
Walcott:  I can only assume that's a euphemism.

Garret:  Jordan, we're all on the same team here.
Jordan:  Yeah, but no-one should get away with murder.

(Bug and Lily sitting in City Hall)
Bug: You’re entitled to a lawyer Lily!
Lily: I haven’t done anything wrong.
Bug: Obviously you’re less than familiar with our criminal justice system.

(Jordan joins them)
Jordan: I was worried. I just came by to see you there was anything I could do.
Lily: (bitter) You’ve done enough already.
Bug: Jordan this probably isn’t the best time.
Jordan: Look I’m sorry. I believe Beth Pomerantz killed her husband. It’s my job to prove it!
Lily: And you don’t care whose throat you have to cut in the process!
Jordan: What are you talking about?
Lily: Oh please! You were so convinced Beth Pomerantz confessed to me that you called in the DA to do your dirty work!
Jordan: I would never do something like that!
Lily: The truth is you would do anything to solve a case. I just never thought you would stoop to this! (Jordan looks taken aback)

Garret:  After the Tate murder, did anyone try to link the cases?
Walcott:  No, no Macy.  Everyone has been sitting on their hands waiting for Quincy 2000 to break the case wide open.
Garret:  You should really consider anger management.  It helps people.

Lily:  I love what I do Elaine.  I believe in it.  Everyone needs a place they can go to feel safe.
Elaine:  No-one will think any less of you if you tell the judge what you know.
Lily:  Non-one but me.

Walcott:  My dad's a third generation lawyer.  You know what he said when I got into law school?  He warned me that female lawyers were unfeminine.
Garret:  He obviously hasn't seen you with your hair down.

Jordan:  I've got a question I want to ask you, and please don't take this the wrong way.  What the hell are you doing here?
Elaine:  How could I take that the wrong way? 
Jordan:  Answer the question.
Elaine:  I'm a medical examiner, this is where the bodies are.
Jordan:  Feels like you're more interested in where the bodies are buried.
Elaine:  I don't know what you mean.
Jordan:  Well from the moment you got here you've treated this place like a country you've just invaded.
Elaine:  Is it possible that you're maybe just a little bit paranoid?
Jordan:  Actually I wondered that, but I mean the slick way you went after Macy.  Wow, a good M.E. never leaves fingerprints right?
Elaine:  Where's this going?
Jordan:  You called your pals in the D.A.'s office, had Lily subpoenaed.
Elaine:  Whether I did or didn't, the case is closed.  Just like you wanted.  As much as it pains you Jordan, we're not so different you and I.
Jordan:  Oh this outta be good!
Elaine:  We both go after exactly what we want and we usually get it.  The only difference is, I don't always go charging through the front door.
Jordan:  Well I prefer the direct approach, especially with the people here.  I watch their backs and they watch mine.  They're my family.  You wanna be part of this place . . . try coming in the front door.

Lily:  Knock, knock!
Jordan:  Hey . . . wow is there some kind of jailbreak?
Lily:  I thought about it, but then the other prisoners found out I didn't have my own shank so . . .
Jordan:  Ah, yeah!  It's tough being the new girl in the cell block.
Lily:  Beth Palmerants turned herself in last night.
Jordan:  You don't say.
Lily:  Yeah I went to see her.  She said you two had a very interesting conversation in the crypt.
Jordan:  The thing is Lily, as a doctor, any conversation I have with a patient is strictly confidential.
Lily:  I . . . I should never have accused you of ratting me out to the D.A.
Jordan:  Oh forget it.
Lily:  No, all that stuff I said about you solving cases at any cost . . .
Jordan:  No, I know you didn't mean it.
Lily:  No, I meant that part.
Jordan:  Oh!
Lily:  But I forgot the most important thing.  We're friends and I trust you with all my heart.   

(Rene walks into Garret’s office)
Rene: Chief M.E. drinking on the job?!
Garret: Sue me!
Rene: Actually, I could!
Garret: Or you could join me!
Rene: Got any vodka?
Garret: Scotch.
Rene: Single?
Garret: Blended.
Rene: What the hell. After a day like this I’d drink lighter fluid!

Rene: I was wrong about you Macy.
Garret: You mean I’m not arrogant, stubborn and self-righteous?
Rene: All that and more! You’re also damn good at your job!
