Provenza: Gimme $100.
Flynn: I already gave you $100.
Provenza: You're way up.
Flynn: So what? You know where the ATM is. Besides, I say we cash in.
Provenza: Fine, fine, fine, we'll cash in. [grabs Ari] C'mon, Ari. You're cashing in, too.
Ari: Hey, don't touch me. [looking at Provenza's shirt] Who the hell are you, anyway?
Flynn: LAPD. We're here to give you a lift home.
Ari: Put that away, you stupid... look, I'm not leaving. And you can't do anything to me here anyway.
Provenza: Oh really? Hey! Hey everybody! Listen up! I wanna tell you about my friend Ari here.
Ari: Hey! Shut up, you idiot, you're gonna get me killed!
Flynn: Hey moron, now imagine us doing that, only on television, and all your cousin's friends find out that you're a snitch.
Provenza: [shoving all of Ari's chips to the center] And don't forget to tip the dealer.
Flynn: Let's go.

Provenza: I brought this back from the funeral for you. Since you're off sweets. It's a...cake-like object made with some sort of...prune crap substitute for sugar.
Brenda: [Tastes it, then throws it away] There is no substitute for sugar.

Tao: [Staking out Vahan's apartment] He's been in there all day.
Flynn: If you had his girlfriend, you'd be in there all day, too.

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: 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: 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.

[Kitty, who has been missing, returns home]
Brenda: Bad kitty! Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad! Look at you! You are a mess! What have you been doing?
Fritz: I know you're good at your job, honey, but I don't think Kitty's gonna answer you.
