Brenda: So Lt. Provenza, summin' up what we know so far. Alone and on his day off, Detective Tim Martin enters an abandoned warehouse in downtown Los Angeles 30 miles from his home in Long Beach. By coincidence, Mr. Barak, a murder suspect in a double homicide Martin is working happens to enter the same warehouse. They both draw their weapons and fire at the exact same time. Fatally wounded they instantly drop dead where they stand. What would you say the chances are it happened like that?
Provenza: Apparently, 100 percent.

Brenda: So why don't you just ask me about it? I know what you're thinking.
Fritz: Ok, I did read the article about your ethics investigation.
Brenda: And you were wondering what all the hoopla was about.
Fritz: Well, it's none of my business, really, but, uh, yeah.
Provenza: [Eavesdropping with Buzz over Brenda's wire] Ok. Here we go. Spill your guts.
Brenda: It was my crazy ex-husband...
Buzz: Lieutenant, this is making me really uncomfortable.
Provenza: Buzz, don't make me pull out my gun.

Brenda: And did you climb Mt. Everest in your undershorts?
Gardener: Yes
Sanchez: Maybe this would go a little quicker if I handled it, Chief.

Brenda: That's your idea of an interview?! You just pick someone up and hope they tell you something?

Brenda: We are asking for minimal cooperation.
Howard Pierce: And I am telling you that these doctors records are protected and they will remain confidential. [to Pope] And let me give you a word of warning, sir, that the legal principles at stake in this case are more important than you seem to imagine. Now I urge you to think very carefully about what you do next.
Pope: [dials a phone number] Martha, get me Martin Garnett, please. Thank you. [hangs up] Garnett is the deputy district attorney. I'm going to ask him to get a grand jury to issue subpoenas for everything related to the Langer case. Just to satisfy my own stupid, uninformed curiosity.

Brenda: We are running him down the flagpole and that's all that there is to it. If you want to examine the body, you may do so after I'm done.
[Albert's body comes crashing through the window]
Brenda: I'm done.
Provenza: I'm glad he's dead, 'cause that would have really hurt.
