Quotes:

Woody: I refuse to be an accessory Jordan,
Jordan: I won’t do it ok?
Woody: You do it every time we ride in an elevator together.
Jordan: Not every time. Ya know, a nice warm caffeinated beverage might talk me out of it.
Woody: This is a double caramel latte with extra caramel.
(Guy walks in, Woody hands Jordan the coffee)
Jordan: Blood was coming from every where man, I mean it was spurting from his eyes, his ear, the floor was covered!
(door opens, guy is horrified)
Jordan: Isn’t this your floor?
Woody: I gave you my coffee Jordan.
Jordan: I said it MIGHT talk me out of it.

Seely: You know if you’re free later tonight. I can promise more where this came from.
Lily: You know…detective. Every time I think there’s something going on under that jerky veneer of yours you go and do something totally insensitive.
Seely: (disbelief and confusion) That was insensitive?

Woody: What about this guy? You know him?
Guy: No?
Woody: Really? He’s a fellow pervert. I would have thought you guys ran in the same circle.

Woody: Now since our shooter’s still at large I‘m gonna leave a cop by the door. Not that I really care if you live or died. I don’t. I just want you to be around for the boardwalk. It is oh so humiliating for a pillar of the community such as yourself.

Jordan: (about Seely) What is with the Mr. Do-gooder routine?
Lily: Ahh…hhh (big sigh)

Nigel: (lowers voice looks around…guiltily) Okay…I’m gonna access the county assessor’s office.
Bug: (surprise) You can do that?

Jordan: (key unlocks door) Sometimes God is on our side.
Nigel: (sigh follows Jordan even after she doesn’t listen to his caution) Oh bloody hell.

Woody: Jordan whatever you do, do not go in the house.
Jordan: I wouldn't dream of it.
Woody: Damn it Jordan.

Jordan: No you look. No witnesses. I pull this trigger and I will get off on self defense while you—you lowlife piece of garbage—will take your reserved seat in hell.
Brother: I wouldn’t do that if I were you.
Jordan: Oh yeah? Well you’re not me.
Woody arrive, shot rings out.
Woody: Jordan? (guy on ground ducking, alive)
Jordan: (satisfied look) I thought I saw a rat.

Seely: Hey. So do I get two points for finding the girls parents?
Lily: Yes. Two points for you detective.
Seely: How about another two points for not giving you those personal effects.
Lily: (half laugh-smile) How about another two if you drive Flora and me to the airport?
Seely: Wow! Six points. Does that earn me a date?
Lily: (laugh) After the last 24 hours I could use a coffee and someone to talk to.
Seely: Umm…well I’ll by you the cup of coffee.
Lily: (smiles) Oh my God. (follows after him).
