Taylor: Chief Johnson?
Brenda: Yes?
Taylor: I just want to make sure I understand why you're bringing Det. Xavier back in?
Brenda: I want to question him.
Taylor: Why?
Brenda: Because I need more answers.
Taylor: Did you ever ask him where he was last Saturday morning when the murders were committed? Because I looked into it, and he was at home, on the phone for two hours.
Brenda: Well, his line was busy. That doesn't mean he was on it.
Taylor: I'm trying to help you here, Chief. Xavier has an excellent record, and yes, Tim Martin, he might have been a womanizer, but if you can't tell how much people respected him around here, you're not looking.
Brenda: Trust me. I see it.
Taylor: If you end up smearing a man who gave his life to the badge ...
Brenda: I have factored your concerns into how I'm dealing with this case. Anything else commander?
Taylor: No ma'am. Just trying to be of assistance.

Taylor: Chief Pope, I need a word.
Pope: E-mail it to me.

Taylor: Chief Pope, I need a word.
Pope: E-mail it to me.

Taylor: Congratulations, Chief. You got your mistrial.
Brenda: It's not my mistrial; it's my arrest. You'd think people would be happy to put a genuine killer behind bars.
Taylor: Aram Asourian is the leader of a mob family.
Brenda: Well, maybe next time you can pair him up with a crime he's actually committed. Personally, I always feel better about the justice system when it matches up murder charges with the right person.
Taylor: Then it's too bad Vahan didn't confess to killing the juror, too.
Brenda: Well, maybe he didn't. But Bela Rose didn't die a natural death. And thanks to Lt. Flynn's determination, which I know you in the L.A.P.D. are desperate to acknowledge, I now can talk to the jurors who actually saw her die.

Taylor: Do us a favor. Send this girl to the crematorium as a Jane Doe. Keep Croelick in prison. Don't damage the reputation of our department to let the killer go free.
Pope: Here is the favor I will do for you: I will forget you said that.

Taylor: Well, that one's gonna cost her.
Flynn: You want to gloat to someone you're close to? Grab a mirror, Captain. I'm applying for permanent transfer to her squad.

Taylor: What is it you need? Another pair of hands?
Gabriel: Yeah.
Flynn: I'll go.
Gabriel: Um, I mean, that'd be great, only...
Taylor: Only what?
Gabriel: Well, sir, um, Lt. Flynn is one of our best guys here at the department, but he and, um...
Flynn: The bitch hates my guts.

Taylor: You know, a non-fatal gang related shooting on 81st Street isn't usually considered the jurisdiction of priority homicide. Seems less like you're doing your job than more like you're doing a favor.
Brenda: I'm not doing anyone any favors.
Taylor: Just -- can I just say thank you?
Brenda: For what? Wesley's still dead.
Taylor: You saved his reputation.
Brenda: A lot good that does him now.
Taylor: Maybe so, but that's all his parents have left.

Tom Blanchard: Now, some ground rules for this next deposition: first rule, don't do their jobs for them; keep your answers short and simple, don't guess, don't argue.
Brenda: Mr. Blandard, are you honestly telling me how to conduct myself in an interview?
Blanchard: Ms. Johnson, you're about to enter a room where you don't get to ask the questions.
