Quotes:

Jordan: I want the truth. That’s all.
Detective Winslow: Fine be prepared to live with it.

Garret: I feel like I’m losing her Jordan. If you have any words of wisdom I’m all ears.

Garret: She brought home a D in chemistry the other day. Hey what if I got her a chemistry set?
Jordan: You could also send her to military academy.
Garret: Hey my dad got me a chemistry set when I was her age. Look how I turned out?!?
Jordan: Yeah…..Wow!

Jordan: Listen not that burn victims aren’t fascinating cases, but c’mon, I got 2 decomps last week and now this!?!
Yakura: There are no bad cases, only bad coroners.
Jordan: You read that on a coffee mug somewhere?
Yakura: What can I tell you, Monday’s are a bitch.
Jordan: They sure are.

Lily: Oh my god it’s Uncle HaHa.
Trey: he’s your uncle?
Bug: Well at least that gets the ID out of the way.
Lily: Channel 52. Uncle HaHa’s happy hour. It was one of my earliest influences.
Bug: Now why doesn’t that surprise me?
Lily: how did he die?
Bug: That’s what I’m about to find out.
Trey: No wait… he’s my case.
Nigel: Now why don’t you both share. Surely there’s enough Uncle HaHa for everyone.
Trey: Fine!
Bug: Fine!
Lily: Before you cut him, can I just have…(the 3 guys step back. Lily stands above uncle HaHa. She starts to cry. She squeeze’s his nose and runs off crying)

Jordan: (to Eddie) Friend… you don’t know the meaning of the word.

Lily: I’m just feeling a little mortal.
Garret: Yeah well this place can do it to you.
Lily: My clown died.
Garret: I’m sorry?

Garret: Let me ask you a question. What did you want for your birthday when you were 17?
Lily: Boobs

Garret: When you were her age do you think you would have appreciated a chemistry set?
Lily: Sure, I could have made my own drugs instead of buying them from my brothers friends…. I’m kidding… You know the only way your going to figure this out is if you open your mind and let your daughter in.
Garret: That’s very Zen Lily.
Lily: Eastern thought has been very beneficial to me in this time of mourning.
Garret: Over the clown?

Eddie: Jordan I know this is hard to accept. Your friend was an arsonist. He set a fire, he died in it. Case closed.
Jordan: How convenient for you?

Garret: It’s my daughter’s birthday. It’s her favorite.
Nigel: (smelling the box) Rosie’s Bakery….inlands square…. Chocolate orgasm.
Garret: I’m not even gonna ask how you did that.
Nigel: We should all be so lucky to have a little chocolate orgasm on our birthday eh!
Garret: Well until she’s 18 it’s a fudge cake
Nigel: How old is she now?
Garret: 17 today.
Nigel: Really?
Garret: You just keep your hands off my cake.

Garret: Well what did you want for your 17th?
Nigel: Leopard skin trousers and unlimited sexual favors.
Garret: And what did you get?
Nigel: Besides those?
Garret: From your parents Nigel!
Nigel: Me dad drove me to the navy recruitment .
Garret: Sounds like not a moment too soon.
Nigel: Well I have to admit, whether he knew it or not he made a man out of me.
Lily: Dr. Macy…. Dr. Saunders and Dr. Vijayaraghavensatyanaryanamurthy are at lunch
Nigel: Who?
Garret: Bug.

Garret: That’s auntie HaHa. (looking at the attractive wife of the clown)
Lily: Yup.
Garret: I’m in the wrong line of work.

Bug: Let’s find out why the laughter died. (to Trey while doing Uncle HaHa’s autopsy)

Eddie: Way to go Jordan.
Jordan: Like I was supposed to know that you and Blackie Conroy are having a tea party. I mean what the hell was he doing in there anyways?

Lily: (when told the clown hadn’t had a check up in 35 years) Well who needs a checkup when you have that much love in your life.

Garret: There’s something called tradition.
Abby: Oh like I’m supposed to get all misty over the memories. Sitting there eating greasy Peking duck listening to you and mom fight world war 3.
Garret: Well fortunately for you it’s just me this year. This has nothing to do with your mother and I.
Abby: That’s not what my shrink says. And you know what? She also told me.. she told me that I don’t have to blame myself anymore for everything falling apart cause it turns out it wasn’t my fault at all… it was yours.
Garret: You done? You listen to me. You’re going to Yang Chows whether you like it or not. You’re going to sit your 17 year old ass down in that chair and we’re going to celebrate your birthday the same as we always do. Is that clear?

Evelyn: You’re free to come in, but not with those. (Jordan is holding police reports)
Jordan: look I know you don’t like to upset him and I respect that.
Evelyn: Really? I haven’t really noticed an awful lot of respect from you.

Jordan: (talking to Jimmy) I didn’t have to blow you off like that. I guess I’ve always been pretty bad with goodbyes. I guess hoping on a bus seemed a lot easier you know.

Eddie: There are times when you care about somebody, you got to do what’s best for them. Even if they don’t know it. (to Jordan)

Garret: I feel like I’m loosing her Jordan. If you have any words of wisdom, I’m all ears.
Jordan: unfortunately, loosing people is a subject I kind of know a lot. about…..Don’t let go….. no matter what.

Jordan: Aww it’s beautiful. (about the cake Garret bought for Abby)
Garret: Yeah it is isn’t it?
Jordan: Go ahead…. Make a wish.
Garret: Not in the mood.
Jordan: Then I’ll put in a good word for you.
Garret: Thanks.
