Brenda: Oh, for heaven's sake, it is a head. Oh, my Lord, I found some feet!
Homeless Guy: Do these feet go with this head?
Gabriel: I sure hope so.

Homeless Guy: Do these feet go with this head?
Gabriel: I sure hope so. 

Brenda: Oh, he's probably terrified.
Fritz: She. She's probably terrified.

Brenda: Oh, he's probably terrified.
Fritz: She. She's probably terrified.

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: 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 need them to talk to us, so don't tell them you're from homicide; just say LAPD. When people see you at their door and you say homicide, you lose them and any chance of learning something useful. Ask if anyone else is there, just in case they pass out when they hear the news. I have to stay with a mother once who fainted, slammed her head on a coffee table and I was stuck waiting for an ambulance with a bleeding, unconscious woman. Answer any question they have with another question. We need to find out if they saw their son, might even tell us something about their relationship with him. Maybe even who he hangs out with. How you say it is up to you. Once you tell them, watch closely. How they react, what's the first thing they think of? Now get ready. You're about to become the main character in the story of someone's worst day ever.

Brenda: We'll talk about this...all this...later...this evening or something...
Fritz: This reluctance of yours, it has nothing to do with what's going on with Pope, does it?
Brenda: What's going on with Pope?
Fritz: His wife served him with divorce papers last Friday. You didn't know?
Brenda: No.
Fritz: What do you do for a living again?

Brenda: What are you doing?
Provenza: Being nice.
Brenda: You're not nice. And you're on duty.
Provenza: Well, give me the afternoon off.
Brenda: My mother is married. To my father.
Provenza: Relax, Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh. I don't date women over 35. 40 if I'm drinking.
Brenda: Alright, then. You can have her back by 7:00, because I have a dinner I cannot miss.

Brenda: Why aren't they using Robbery/Homicide's interview room?
Sanchez: Technical problems with their monitors.
Daniels: [holds up RCA cables] Bless me, mother, for I have sinned.
Brenda: [smiles] We are all going to hell.
