Random Facts:

- In this episode Lu and Woody are 'playing' a word association game.  The gist of the game is a word is chosen and you must then name the first word that pops into you head that you associate with that word...you can keep going linking each word.  Often, the game's goal is to compare the first and final word, to see if they relate, or to see how different they are, or also to see how many words are repeated.  There is a PSYCHOLOGY aspect to the game as well.  It is believed by some that this game can reveal something of a person's subconscious mind, though there are many who are skeptical of how effective such a technique could be in psychology.

Goofs:

- In the scene where Jordan brings Kayla to see her father, the sheet is pulled up to Dawson's chin.  The camera moves away and when if focuses back on Dawson the sheet is now down to his chest, it moves away a third time and this time the sheet is back up to his chin.

Woody: Come on, give me another one.
Lu: You know, most people just like to cuddle.
Woody: I like to cuddle… My gut said white, should of gone with the gut.
Lu: You’re going to drive yourself crazy, you know that Woody. Not everything has to be so complicated (cell phone rings).
Woody: Excuse me… This is Hoyt… hey Jordan, how ya doing?

Woody: I’m guessing our small time fence was branching out into gun dealing. Somebody was buying, somebody was selling, but something definitely went wrong.

Jordan: She’s pretty shaken up, maybe I should talk to her, see if I can…
Woody: I got it covered.
Jordan: Yeah, but she’s seen me around, maybe she’ll trust me.
Woody: Come on Jordan, it’s me, what’s up?
Jordan: Look, she’s on her own, her mom’s dead too.
Woody: Ok, I understand now, you’re her and she’s you, I get it.
Jordan: Please, I just want to make sure this guy doesn’t try again.
Woody: We will.
Lu: Hey, where is she?
Woody: Lu’s going to talk, she’s had a lot of experience with kids.

Nigel: That’s a really expensive leather he’s wearing.

Lily: It’s Robert Peyton, Peyton Industries, steel, coal, banking, the Mayflower comes to mind.
Nigel: And not the Madame.
Garret: Which one’s he?
Lily: The son. Always in trouble with the police, notorious womanizer, had drug and alcohol problems.
Nigel: Yeah, heir to the throne, colossal under achiever, black sheep of the family.

Lu: … Look, Kayla, I know you’re scared, it’s natural, anyone would be.
Jordan: I don’t think she’s scared.
Woody: Er, Jordan…
Jordan: What? She looks like she can take care of herself, looks like she has been doing it for a long time, probably pretty good at it too, right? I guess you think you don’t really need our help, and that’s fine, but what about your dad? He deserves a little justice, don’t you think?

Jordan: They’re going to have to put you into protective custody.
Kayla: Am I in trouble?
Lu: No, we just need to make sure you’re safe, that’s all.

Mr. Peyton: …I don’t know if you have any children doctor, but if you do, I doubt you would want them to be defined by their mistakes.

Mrs. Jones: Dr. Macy, what kind of place are you running here?
Garret: I’m sorry?
Mrs. Jones: Thinking my family’s grief could be fixed with a bribe, if the Peyton’s are willing to pay me for my silence, then they must have something to hide. You tell them from me where they can stick their money.

Jordan: Why did you lie to us? The guy who shot your dad, he wasn’t white, he was black… Hey, I’m talking to you. Why did you lie to us?
Kayla: Because I wanted to, alright.
Lu: Jordan, maybe you should…
Jordan: We’re trying to protect you here.
Kayla: You are doing a great job.

Jordan: It wasn’t the cops who brought a murderer into your house, it was your father.
Kayla: Shut up about my dad, you don’t know anything about him.
Jordan: I know your father neglected you, I know he was running guns, that much I do know.
Lu: Jordan!
Jordan: No, we’re trying to help you.
Lu: Jordan!

Lu: What the hell are you doing?
Jordan: Someone is trying to kill her, she needs to understand how serious the situation is
Lu: She’s been traumatized, her father was just murdered right in front of her.
Jordan: And I don’t want her ending up like her dad.
Lu: Look, Jordan, it’s pretty hard to look at that kid and not be reminded of someone. She isn’t you
Jordan: Lu, with all due respect, I’m not one of your patients. And regardless of who this kid reminds me of, she doesn’t seem to get what’s going on here. I’m just trying to help her
Lu: For the record, this is Boston PD’s job, not yours.

Woody: Hey, what are you doing here?
Jordan: Hey, just getting into trouble.
Woody: So, I’ve got a visitor waiting at my desk… you’re not going to ask me who it is?
Jordan: Fine, who is it?

Woody: When was the last time you saw him?
Girlfriend: I don’t know, yesterday.
Woody: Which is it? I don’t know or yesterday?
Girlfriend: Yesterday. He stopped by for an hour or so, we… and then he left.

Woody: It looks like some kind of rash.
Bug: That’s exactly what it is, and allergic reaction. I scrapped skin cells from Dawson’s arm and tested them against common allergens found in food and vegetation .
Woody: Find anything?
Bug: Magnolio Fata Planti.
Woody: Excuse me?
Bug: Better known as the Iris Gigantus Arulia.
Woody: By who?
Bug: The botanical society of America. He came into contact with them within the past two weeks.
Woody: The botanists?

Jordan: I come in peace.
Lu: How did you we were here?
Jordan: Woody!

Jordan: …Sometimes I tend to see things as a little black and white…

Lu: You know, you don’t have to stick around here if you don’t want, I got it covered.
Jordan: Nah, no problem, I got no where else to be, so…
Lu: Saturday night, I thought it might be your date night.
Jordan: Yeah, well, like they say, it takes two to tango.
Lu: What about you and that reporter, Pollack?
Jordan: Going, going, gone.
Lu: I’m sorry.
Jordan: Oh, it’s my fault, I got involved with an old friend. It’s kind of complicated, I let things go to far, typical me.
Lu: It takes two.
Jordan: Yeah, but I couldn’t lie like a normal person.

Woody: You ok?
Lu: I’m a cop Woody.
Woody: I know, I’m just saying, I was worried, you were there, the kid’s there, Jordan’s there.
Lu: I’m fine, we’re all fine.

Jordan: They are not going to let him get anywhere near you again, I swear.
Kayla: Yeah? And then what?
Jordan: You’re a tough kid Kayla, you can handle it.
Kayla: How do you know?
Jordan: Because, I’ve been there. I lost my mom when I was ten, somebody killed her.
Kayla: Who?
Jordan: Don’t know, never found him, but not a day goes by I don’t think about it. Look, you’ve gotta decide right now, whatever they throw at you, you are not going to let them beat you. You can get through it. And I am going to help you, I promise.

Garret: Lily. What the hell do you think you are doing?
Lily: Meaning what?
Garret: I just got a call from Joseph Peyton, did you try to get Claire Peyton to approach Linda Jones’s mother?
Lily: It’s a funny story.
Garret: Wrong, it’s not funny at all.

Garret: It’s my job to keep this place afloat. They’ve got a court order, we violate it, we’re looking at a law suit, investigations, and the unemployment line for both of us. Have I made myself clear?
Lily: Yeah.

Lily: Have you found something?
Nigel: Robert Peyton’s chromosomes.
Lily: Where they missing?

Garret: This better be good, I was on my way home.
Lily: It is.
Garret: What the hell is that supposed to be?
Nigel: Peyton family tree.
Lily: Nigel has traced their lineage back almost 500 years.
Garret: That’s a good use of morgue time.
Nigel: Turns out they were only in Boston for the last 200, before that they were southerners.
Lily: Slave owners.
Garret: So?
Nigel: So according to family records a child was born to plantation owner Reginald Peyton in the spring of 1843, but there’s no record of his wife ever giving birth.
Lily: But there’s rumor of an adopted baby raised by the family.
Garret: And how do you know that?
Nigel: Historical documents, local correspondence, it’s all online nowadays, its fabulous gossip, family feuds.
Garret: Is there a point to all this?

Lily: You have to admit that she’s got to a right to know.
Garret: I have to?
Lily: Well, you don’t have to, but it would help.

Woody: So, his murder is not that bigger deal?
Fed: Let’s just say I have bigger fish to fry.
Woody: Like what?... Ok, so this is how it’s going to go, every agency out for itself, that worked real well for you in 9/11.

Fed: I get it, good cop, bad cop.
Woody: Here’s the thing, we’ve got a murder to solve, you want us to start asking questions, setting of alarms, fine with us. These guys, the ones you are looking at, they get the heads up, all your hard work goes down the drain, not to mention how your boss is going to react, it’ll be our pleasure.

Lu: At least he doesn’t have her.
Jordan: Yet.

Woody: We’ll kick it in, flush him out.
Lu: Upper and lower units secure, I’ve got two uniforms in the front, four in the alley
Woody: What if he goes up?
Lu: Nobody goes up.
Woody: Some people go up.
Lu: It’s a dead end.
Woody: Nobody said this guy was a genius.
Lu: I got it covered.
Woody: What the hell is eating you?
Lu: Nothing, lets go.

Woody: If you were her, where would you go?

Jordan: …This is one of those times when you’ve gotta decide that whatever they throw at you, you can handle it…

Woody: Hey.
Lu: Hey.
Woody: I guess I’ll get this over with and just apologize.
Lu: What makes you think you have to apologize?
Woody: I’m a guy, you’re a girl, it’s a given.
Lu: This thing with Jordan, are you over it?
Woody: She told you about that?
Lu: I figured it out.
Woody: We have history. Do you really want to be with someone who gets over things like that so easily?
Lu: I want to be with somebody who wants be with me.
Woody: I’m here now, I’m with you.
