Quotes:

(Jordan and Woody are out dancing)
Jordan: I got to get home. I'm on call!
Woody: Yeah, so am I! Jordan, Jordan...you got to relax, okay. You never go out, you're like one of the biggest losers I know. (Does the looser sign to Jordan) So just loosen up a little bit alright.
Jordan: You're right. I should!

Woody: That was like a kiss I give my aunt.
Jordan: You French kiss your aunt?!

Woody: It shouldn't take a man this long to get to 1st base Jordan.
Jordan: I don't know Woody. I'm, I'm not really into baseball analogies, they remind me of my dad and then I got him in my head and then that doesn't really work for me...

(Re: burnt dead guy)
Jordan: He's so...
Bug: Burnt?
Jordan: Dead.

Woody: What happened to your hand?
Jordan: (holds up left hand with bandage on it) This?
Woody: Yeah that.
Jordan: Cut it.
Woody: Must have hurt pretty bad.
Jordan: Yeah, I'm sure it did.

(After finding a dead body in a metal barrel)
Woody: This night getting weird enough for you yet?

Woody: Jordan, you mad at me?
Jordan: Me? No. Course not.
Woody: How come you’re not looking at me? Look Jordan I think you're being pretty 10th grade about this. I made a move on you last night and I'm sorry about that. So you can stop acting weird now.

(Jordan is photocopying her report, Lily walks up behind her)
Lily: Jordan. (Jordan turns around and attacks Lily with a pencil) Was it something I said?
Jordan: I'm sorry. You, you just startled me.
Lily: Yeah I guess I did.
Jordan: Wow that would have hurt huh? (Makes psycho type stabbing movements with the pencil)

Clarissa Harrison: My father spent 10 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. And I spent 10 years without a father.
Jordan: (emotional) 10 years without a father, or a mother...I'm sorry, I think I have something in my contact right now. (Lily and Garrett just stare at her in confusion)

Lily: Is it me or is something seriously wrong with Jordan?
Bug: Now there's a loaded question.
Lily: She almost stabbed me with a pen. I'm worried. Her prolonged exposure to death and violence has got to have accumulative affect.
Bug: Look, like the changing seasons so is Jordan's moods. She'll snap out of it, she always does.

Jordan: I have so much energy.
Garret: Yeah I can tell. Read your autopsy report. 12 pages to tell us she was hit in the back of the head with an unidentifiable object?

(Not listening to Garret telling her to go home and get some sleep)
Jordan: You know that shirt is the perfect color for you, nice dark blue tie...

Jordan: And if I recall, I wasn't the one to loose my cool on the witness stand.
Garret: I felt he was being railroaded. I have a right to get emotional sometimes.

Dr Howard Stiles: I can be persistent you know, in a bureaucratic kind of way.
Jordan: Yeah and I can be impossible to find.

Woody: It's not like I'm tracking her comings and goings, but come on Dr Macy. She's on the case, she's off the case. I'm just saying.
Garret: It's complicated. You know truth is we disagreed about the case 10 years a go. I mean, mothers killed, fathers a suspect, there’s a daughter involved. You do the math.

(Jordan has all this technology set up in her apartment)
Woody: You had a clearance at your local spy shop?

Woody: What the hell happened here Jordan?
Jordan: Isn't it obvious? I was robbed.
Woody: You alright? When?
Jordan: I'm fine. It was, I was at work. I don't know what happened.
Woody: What'd they get?
Jordan: I don't know. I can't find anything missing. But I am telling you, I'm going to get this sucker. He picked the wrong girl to mess with. I mean come on, you got to admit it, of all the apartments in Boston to break into, oh baby this guy is dead meat.

Woody: You know Jordan, maybe I should call CSU unit over here. They could probably pick up a few things..
Jordan: Take a look around the place man. I've got about a zillion dollars worth of gadgets here, some of them I don't even know what they do. Does it look like I need a CSU unit?

Jordan: Well you know me, I'm all about the mental health.
(After Jordan starts yelling at Woody in the police station)
Woody: Jordan to have to calm down. Ok. Try some chamomile, switch to decaf.

Bug: You mock me. But deep down I know you love me...In a plutonic kind of way. I mean it's alright, I'm a self actualized man.
Garret: You're about to become an unemployed man.

Garret: Bug genius is an overused word, but in your case.
(Garret leaves the room)
Bug: In my case what? What?

(Jordan gets mad at Lily for calling Stiles on her)
Jordan: You know what it's like having everyone stare at you? I come to work because I have to. Because if I didn't, I wouldn't know where else to go. And you think it doesn't hurt to know what you guys all say about me? Well screw you all. You know what? You can just all go to...god I'm...I think I should, ah I think I should stop talking now.
(Lily hugs Jordan)
Lily: You are surrounded by so many people who love you. All you have to do is ask. It's ok to ask.

(Woody goes to knock on the door and hesitates)
Woody: You realize by doing this we're probably ruining this poor bastard’s life?
(Garret knocks on the door)

Jordan: I just felt so powerless. I always promised myself I would never feel that way again.
Stiles: And when was the time you did feel that way?
Jordan: The day that I came home and found my mother dead on the dining room floor.

Jordan: What are you saying, that I made it all up, that it's all in my head?
Stiles: Well maybe you need to think you left the door open, to feel powerless again.
Jordan: Why the hell would I do that?
Stiles: To blame yourself for what actually was just a random event.
Jordan: It wasn't random. The guy stole my mother's locket. It has to mean something.
Stiles: How old are you now?
Jordan: What the hell does that have to do with anything?
Stiles: No, think about it. How old are you now?
Jordan: I'm the same age my mother was when she died.
Stiles: Well that’s interesting, isn't it?

Stiles: I mean for the last 24 years, you've been hiding in a locked room. You want to leave a door open? Leave it open to let yourself out!

Jordan: I came back here to make some apologies, but I guess everyone’s gone home for the night.
Garret: They'll be here tomorrow. They always are.
Jordan: I know. I like that.
Garret: You know this job Jordan, this place, it's not everything. But we're the next best thing to a family. I hope you know that.
Jordan: (puts her head on Garret's shoulder) I do. I do.

Woody: The guy tried to jimmy it open. I'm sorry to tell you I peeked inside, was curious. Go on open it.
Jordan: No. That's alright I don't need to.
Woody: Come on, open it up. (Jordan opens it) You were cute.
Jordan: Yeah I was huh. Thank you Woody. I know I've been a little cuckoo lately.
Woody: That’s ok. I'm used to it. (They both stare at each other) What?
Jordan: Nothing. No. I just thought maybe you'd like to come in.
Woody: I think I am in.
Jordan: No I mean, you know, would you like to STAY in, for a while?
Woody: Jordan, I think we should take things slow.
Jordan: Fair enough.
Woody: It's not to say we can't, as the kids say 'hook up' every now and then.
Jordan: In your dreams.
