Random Facts:

This is Part 1 of a crossover episode with Las Vegas.

At the end of the episode, pictures of the Las Vegas strip that were filmed from a helicopter are shown in a montage. Although the pictures are of the real Las Vegas Blvd., they do not fit with the show. That is because in the Las Vegas/Crossing Jordan world, the "Montecito" is located across the street from the "Mandalay Bay." In the montage, there was a vacant lot across the street.

The song that Woody danced to in the Vegas half of this crossover was "Pata Pata" by Miriam Makeba.

Quotes:

Bug: You’re awfully perky this morning.
Jordan: Garret’s back.  A sweet Indian summer has settled over the city.  It’s one of those mornings you wake up knowing it’s going to be a great day.
Bug: Not for everybody. (looks add body he’s wheeling in) Apparently.
Jordan: Point taken.

Nigel: Oh carpet salesman of the year 1989.
Bug: Is there anything sadder than being carpet sales man of the year.
Nigel: How about still carrying the card in your wallet sixteen years later.

Bug: That’s it.  I’m definitely getting tinted contact lenses today!
Lily: You guys are so cynical.  Just because a lady has a nice figure doesn’t make her immune to falling in love.

Jordan: I tell you what if it ends vehicular I got him.  If it ends gun shot he’s all yours.
Garret: I’ll take him.  I could use a long drive.

Woody: (ignoring Jordan) Bug what do we got.
Bug: Um…jumper, morgue, fire.

Jordan: So this is the deal now.  We’re going to pretend we don’t know each other.
Woody: What us?
Jordan: Yeah.
Woody: Jordan.  I don’t know what kind of problems you have.  But I seriously suggest you get over them and move on with your life. 

Garret: Relax.  If no one fired there won’t be any holes in him.

Jordan: One phone call and you just hop on a plane?
Danny: Nice jammies.
Jordan: Yeah, ducks thanks.

Danny: It’s very nice.  Not what I expected, but nice.
Jordan: You didn’t come all this way just to check out my ducks.

Danny: You guys got a detective assigned to the case.
Jordan: (pause) Uh…yeah.  We sure do.

Woody: What are you doing in Boston?  Oh no no no no.  This is not about this jumper from Vegas.
Danny: Yeah.  Looks like we’re working together again my friend.
Woody: No.  Not together.  Me police you unpolice.  Thanks for the offer but I go this one.
Danny: Whoa.  I thought we’d cleared up this territorial crap last year.

Jordan: Yeah he stopped by last night.
Nigel: Stopped by?  As in just in the neighborhood kind of thing?

Woody: Whatcha got in there Jordan.
Jordan: Uh…not much (opens back of van and limbs fall out) Except for the bodies.

Woody: What do they all have in common?
Nigel: Their names rhythm? (looks) I’m just saying…
Bug: Yeah that’s it genius.  The next victim should be named Cal.

Woody: Who’s side are you on here?
Jordan: No it’s not about sides.

Bug: Oh children children.  Is there one thing we can all agree on. Anyone?  (Jordan raises hand) Yes the lady in the back.

Danny: When you said go for a drive I was thinking margaritas, a live band…I don’t know maybe throwing a mattress in the old Camino.
Jordan: Hold that thought.

Danny: Wait here.
Jordan: No.
Danny: What do you mean no?
Jordan: Why should I wait cause you’re the boy and I’m the girl.
Danny: Because I’m the boy and I said to wait.  Now wait right here please.
Jordan: Are you kidding?

Garret: He made a choice.  He didn’t stay a doctor cause that’s what his parents wanted of him.  He chose his own destiny.
Lily: You mean lawyer.
Garret: Lawyer, that’s what I said.
Lily: You said doctor.

Agent: Secret service freeze. Hands in the air.
Danny: (whisper) Nice.
Jordan: (whisper) Thanks.
