Quotes:

Jordan: Sure it’s a crime scene? Looks like she just fell down and broke her crown.
Seely: It’s a crime scene till I say it’s not. Can you give me a time of death estimate?
Jordan: Well lavidity is set so it was more than eight hours ago. No maggots so it was less than three days.
Seely: That’s very amusing. Any chance you can be more specific.

Seely: Maybe you could leave detective work to a detective.
Jordan: And maybe you can leave time, cause and manner of death to a coroner.

Devan: Do you just know all this stuff? Or do you have to look it up?
Nigel: I know everything.
Devan: Ummm…

Jordan: Are you giving me a tutorial? Do you think I need one?
Garret: No. And No!
Jordan: Trouble in paradise then?

Nigel: If I were you I’d track Dr. McGuire down first, give her the option of going with you.
Woody: What if I don’t want to?
Nigel: She’ll hurt you.
(Woody laughs)
Nigel: More importantly, she’ll hurt me.

Woody (to Devan): You’re a doctor, you want to be a cop I’ll get you an application.

Nigel: My fault. I uh, I thought you pulled me off to assist her on the case.
Garret: I sent you with her because she’s wet behind the ears, that doesn’t mean you’re her nanny for life.

Garret: This is the best mood I’ve seen you in lately.
Rene: I had Harold Goddard arrested a half hour ago for the murder of his wife.
Garret: Is that what it takes? You want to arrest me?
Rene: I have hand cuffs.

Garret: I think you want an ironclad definition of what this relationship is.
Rene: Oh, I already have that. Quicksand.

Nigel: Can I ask you something?
Lily: Sure.
Nigel: What is the best way to deal with someone who doesn’t grasp that others peoples need may not precisely match hers?
Lily: Dr. Magruire.
Nigel: Yeah.

Jordan: Does it get you off the hook with General Walcott?
Garret: Excuse me?

Woody: In my sleep honey.
Devan: Excuse me sweetie!
Woody: Get in the car. Get in the car, drive away and don’t look back.
Devan: Hey! Hey wait a second.
Woody: You’re a Doctor. You want to be a cop I’ll get you an application.

Jordan: If you would of let me do my job you wouldn’t be in this mess.
Garret: I’m not in a mess. But if you don’t find somebody else to pester you will be.

Nigel: It’ll take forever.
Lily: No really, how long?
Nigel: Have you taken over Jordan’s function of badgering people till the cave?
Lily: I’m in the apprentice program. How am I doing?

Seely: Tryin’ to get out of the hole you and the DA dug for yourselves?
Garret: No, just wondering if there’s anything new.
Seely: Can’t you people stay on your own side of the fence?
Garret: I assume that means your case has stalled out.
Seely: When I get the evidence to convict Harold Goddard you can read about it in the newspaper. Or, hear about it in the bedroom.
Garret: Excuse me. You say that again kid you’re going to need somebody else’s teeth to chew with.
Seely: I’ll stay out of your love life if you stay out of my cases.

Nigel: I won’t tell anyone you’re pushy, if you don’t tell them I’m a pushover.

(Jordan throws dummy down the stairs at Garret)
Jordan: What, are you scared of a test dummy? (Laughs)
Garret: Is it possible that you could just once do what I tell ya to do?
Jordan: You want to carp or you want to help?
Garret: Both

Rene: I want to find a way to make this work.
Garret: Me too.
Rene: Maybe we need some time to think about it.
Garret: If that’s what you want.
Rene: If that’s what I want? Am I talking to myself? (Rene storms out of the room)
