Random Facts:

Goofs:

Timeline mess up.  In the elevator at the end Lily asks where Jeffery found the flowers in January.  However we know the 'supposed' murder of Laura took place on the 8th of November which was six weeks ago at the time of the episode.  This means it still has to be December, not January.

Quotes:

Seely: Fourteen medical examiners in Boston and I get you.
Jordan: (sigh) Come on Seely, you know you want me so bad you want to cry.  What do we got?

Jordan: No body?
Seely: Uh-uh.  Plenty of blood though.
Jordan: No corpse, no sign of foul play.  Why are are we here?

Thomas: I'm supposed to identify this  (battered up body) as my dead friend Sammie?
Woody:  Look at the clothes.  Is that what Sammie was wearing when you shot him.

Jordan: What kind of person disappears from her regular life and nobody even knows that she's gone?
Bug: And what kind of person shots you and then runs off with your body?

Jordan: Well the cars been here at least since these leaves fell.
Seely: Very scientific.  And a three month windows not very helpful.

Jordan runs into J.D.
J.D.: Whoa.  One of us is in a big hurry.  What's yours?
Jordan: Oh...uh...observing an interview.  God what is yours?
J.D.: Chasing the whiff of corruption.  Not involving your friend Detective Hoyt.
Jordan: Well this time try to get your facts straight.
J.D.: I had my facts straight last time.  Why are we arguing about this?
Jordan: I just really hate your job.
J.D.: Cause it gets in the way of you protecting your friend?
Jordan: I...I...I'm late. (walks off)

Seely: Where were you on the night of November 8th?
William: County Jail.
Seely: Now why doesn't that surprise me?

Jordan: (in observation room) Oh Please.  They don't arrest unless there's sign of injury.
Seely: They don't arrest on a domestic beef unless there are visible injuries.
Jordan: Thank you.

William: You.  You almost got me convicted.
Jordan: Yeah, well I sure as hell tried.

Seely: There's no 'we' here.  You do your job and I do mine (to Jordan).

Jeffery: Uh...uh Dr. Cavanaugh.  Can I ask you a question?
Jordan: Sure.
Jeffery: It's about Miss. Lebowski.
Jordan: Lily?
Jeffery: Well...I...uh...I mean she's very...umm...well anyway what I mean is she seeing anyone or um...
Jordan: What?
Jeffery: Not the right time?
Jordan: Not the right person.

Rene: Well?
Garret: Leaning on us isn't going to make it go any faster Rene.

Woody: Is that what I think it is?
Nigel: Shh.  Someone's listening.
Woody: I don't give a damn.  You know what this means?  Whoever's on the other end of that heard the murder maybe even did the murder and they've got it on tape.

Woody: So why'd he take the phone?
Garret: Well she hit him with it so it's got his hair, skin, blood, something on it.
Woody: So it's someone who watches forensic files.  This isn't getting us anywhere.

Jordan: Why didn't Seely send us this stuff instead of telling us he was searching Laura Bennett's house?  We could have gone with him.
Bug: He didn't want us there.
Jordan: I so do not like that guy.
Bug: Nobody likes him.

Garret: Come on sit down.  Take it easy.  Are you sick?
Jeffery: Yeah but that's just a chronic thing...it's not that...is she uh?  Well you now her.  Am I her type?
Garret: Put your head down and just...just breath.  Nice, deep slow breaths.

Garret: Here drink this.
Jeffery: Oh I actually don't drink very much.
Garret: You can't even ask a woman out.  Drink up...I'm a doctor.

Jeffery: Miss Lebowski.
Lily: Jeffery
Jeffery: I was looking for you but you're not in your office and um...
Lily: Because I'm in here.
Jeffery: So you are.  Well...I brought you...narcis...narcissisms...I had them. (laughs)
Lily: Have you been drinking?
Jeffery: What?  Why would you say that?
Lily: Ugh...I wouldn't use words like what and why if you're trying to hide the smell of booze.
Jeffery: I...umm...have an appointment.

Garret: I thought you were trying to trace the tab.
Nigel: Well it's not instantaneous you know.  You have to locate the DCS on the land segment, then it has to be traced back through hundreds of miles of broadband wires of routers to figure out where the data came from...
Woody: You had to ask?

Rene: Half brother.  Different Fathers.  My people told me you were tracing our wire so I thought I should check in.

Garret: It's on the tape.  You got his wife killed Rene.
Rene: You sanctimonious bastard.

Rene: You want to rant or you want to help?

J.D.: Did the wife know about it?
Jordan: Oh I have no idea.  Talk about complicated relationships.
(J.D. gives Jordan a 'look')

Lily: Nice flowers.
Garret: Actually those are yours.  That um...ADA brought them.
Lily: What do you think of him?
Garret: I think he's very smooth.
Lily: (laughs) I thought I started to like him, but I think he came in drunk in the middle of the day.  I don't' know...
Garret: Lily, I gave him the drink.
Lily: Why?
Garret: Because he was practically passing out from fear...he...he wants to ask you out.
Lily: I know.

Jordan: I'm thinking cadaver dogs.
Seely: for which I need a warrant.  For which I need more than a hunch that Roger Caruthers is a hound.
Jordan: Would at least talk to the guy?
Seely: Jordan if you want to be a cop?  Take the test.

Nigel: I paid seven homeless people to go dumpster diving for me.
Garret: Who's money did you use?
Nigel: Yours.

Woody: He fell forward.  He shot him in the back didn't he?
Rene: Is that what happened Garret?
Garret: It's a 22.  Entrance and exit wounds are most likely indistinguishable.
Rene: Are you going where I think you're going?
Garret: It is my professional opinion that the bullet enter his chest, spun him around so that he fell on his face.
Rene: So all Bishop has to do is say that McCourt attacked him.
Garret: Which would make it a clear case of self defense.
Rene: I'm with you.  But Garret don't ever get self-righteous with me again.

Laura: Since I've been out at the cabin I figured out how to know when you're really loved. It's when you see yourself reflected, really reflected in the other persons eyes.  When you know it's the same for them.

Jordan: (kisses Bug) Thanks Bug! (rushes out)

At Elevators.
Lily: Matt.
Matt: Lily.
Jeffery: Miss Lebowski.
Lily: Are you guys here on a case?
Jeffery: Dr. Cavanaugh wanted to see me.
Seely: That'd include me too.
Jeffery: Some evidence on an old case.
Seely: They always say that.  They think they're so smart...
Jeffery's jumps into elevator.

Jeffery: I just wanted to tell you I don't drink.
Lily: Umm...Apparently you do.
Jeffery: Well special occasions Miss Lebowski.  Promotion or the holidays...
Lily: If you call me Miss Lebowski again I'm going to have to call you Mr. Brandau.  Is that how you want it?
Jeffery: God...
Lily: Thank you for the flowers.
Jeffery: You're welcome...do you want to...um...do you like flowers?
Lily: Where did you find paper whites in January?
Jeffery: Well I um...just...oh...um...maybe we could...
Lily: Jeffery.  Would you like to have dinner with me?  Now.

Jordan: Hey Garret.  I haven't seen you around much these days.
Garret: (pouring a glass) Want to have a taste?
Jordan: No thanks I'm out of here.  Aren't you on duty till ten?
Garret: You have a nice night.

Jordan: Can you do me a favor J.D.  Look into my eyes.  What do you see.
J.D.: Is there were I'm supposed to say limped pools so inviting I want to dive right in and drown?
Jordan: I'm serious.
J.D.: I see a pair of darkly beautiful eyes belonging to a woman who...who really wants half this bottle of wine. (pause) what did you want me to say?
Jordan: Oh it was just a question.
J.D.: No with you it's never just a question.  There's always something behind it, under it, and over it. (pause)  I failed a test, didn't I?
