Vicky: In case you haven't noticed, this thing doesn't have turbo on it.

Elena: I'm moving from the house where I raised that little boy on my own. All I want is to leave his spirit with some kind of peace. It's where good karma comes from, you know.

Lilly: I don't really go in for that kind of thing.

Elena: Do you go in for finding the truth?

Colors [3.4]

Vera: According to the police report, yes, and at your hand.

Scotty: Nurse Olsen, let me ask you, you notice anything different about Bettie Petrowski when you signed her out of the hospital?

John: I'd like to meet whoever's responsible face to face.

Scotty: Hearing you loud and clear boss. They'd better still be out there.

Lilly: Kind of job you hate to catch, but worth the most to close.

Will: For the whole two weeks, huh, Stump?

Jeffries: Tough interview...

Detention [3.12]

John Finn: We should visit Trevor's parents, let them know we're looking into this again, and be sensitive.

Scotty Valens: Don't want to get their hopes up for nothing.

Kat Miller: You think the murder angle will get their hopes up?

Scotty Valens: They lose a son either way, him being murdered means maybe it ain't their fault.

Abe Monti: I'm going to the teacher's lounge, to get an aspirin. While I'm gone, do me a favor and just consider why it is you insist on being cruel to one another.

Trevor Dawson: Because it's high school, and we hate ourselves?

Raquel Montero: And when the boy you like would rather kill himself than kiss you, that feels bad too.

Debut [3.13]

Vera: So you's coming to the Sixers game on Wednesday?

Lilly: Uh, sorry I'm not into hockey.

Vera: It's basketball.

Landon: A lady doesn't get angry, although, sometimes what she does instead is worse.

Dog Day Afternoons [3.14]

Scotty: There you are.

Lilly: Oh, you've been looking for me?

Scotty: Not me, some dude on a Harley.

Lilly: Oh.

Scotty: Yeah, Ray something or another.

Lilly: (depressed) Oh.

Scotty: Must be something personal. (Lilly glares at him) Just saying.

Vera: Guy on a Harley, always sexy.

Will: Sure there's nothing you want to share, Lil?

Lilly: Yeah, he shows up again, tell him I'm dead.

Phil: Thing is, when someone opens a door, you got to be ready to go through.

Sanctuary [3.15]

Vera: Priests are supposed to aim higher than the average slob.

Father Peralta: My church is in a warzone, filled with desperate people, they sin to stay alive. You want to do some good for them, you get your hands dirty if you have to, for the greater good.

Vera: Look, you give a damn, makes you a great cop in most situations.

One Night [3.16]

Lily Rush: Can I help you?

John Doe: I have information on a murder. The boy who died. His name was Steve Jablonski.

Lily Rush: Jablonski. Sounds familiar.

John Doe: He was buried alive 26 years ago.

Lily Rush: Right. That was horrible.

John Doe: Yes, it was.

Lily Rush: You got some information?

John Doe: [placing a shovel on a table] I buried him with this.

Will Jeffries: Why'd you make him write his own will?

John Doe: People should have the chance to put their affairs in order. To make sense of their lives. To say good-bye.

Will Jeffries: Now, that's real standup.

Scotty Valens: It was raining when you picked him up tonight. It was cold out?

John Doe: Yes, it was very cold.

Scotty Valens: But your car is warm. It's dry. Justin gets in, he's shivering. Maybe he's grateful for the warmth, maybe not, all that matters is he's this close. You can smell his skin, his hair, his breath. Anything can happen.

John Doe: You're way off base.

Scotty Valens: You like teenage boys.

John Doe: That's not why I picked him--

Scotty Valens: When he begged for his life, what'd you make Justin do?

John Doe: That's not why I picked him!

Scotty Valens: Then why pick 17-year-olds?

John Doe: Because the little bastards think they'll live forever! But they won't.

Scotty Valens: No. You make sure of that.

John Doe: In the end, they give up, too.

John Doe: They get into cars with strangers and believe they'll live forever.

Lily Rush: You think that's a crime?

John Doe: It is because they won't. They should know that and not be disappointed later.

Lily Rush: Like you once were.

John Doe: I've been dying for 26 years. I never believed.

Lily Rush: Didn't you? And I'd give anything to never have walked into that attic. Never looked down the barrel of his gun. So I could still believe that I'd live forever. Remember?

John Doe: No.

Lily Rush: It's the most beautiful thing we'll ever do. Believing that.

John Doe: I don't remember.

Lily Rush: I do. Wintertime alone on the street learning to ride my bike. It's almost dark. I remember the wind in my face, and closing my eyes, and suddenly I'm flying. You don't hate them because they believe they'll live forever. You hate them because we once did, too.

Superstar [3.17]

Fritz: I'm screwed, that's my problem. I never should have agreed to this thing. It doesn't help me if I win, I'm supposed to win, you're a girl.

Andi: Thanks a lot.

Fritz: And if I lose, I'm over.

Andi: So win.

Vera: You think Susan could have harmed her?

Grace: She was radical, believed in making change by any means necessary.

Vera: I ain't doing that interview.

Grace: Have you ever been dragged through the mud so many times by a guy that you lash out in an inappropriate way?

Lilly: You consider poisoning someone inappropriate?

Vera: And a small thing like a guy coming home late turns into a three hour referendum on all the cheap things Nick Vera has ever done.

Willkommen [3.18]

Lily Rush: [after hearing Della Gardner and Nick Vera sing a lyric from Cabaret under their breaths] I hate musicals.

Nick Vera: Well, you wouldn't if you'd seen me as Danny Zuko in my eighth-grade production of Grease. Brought the house down.

Nora McCarthy: I didn't want Clinton to say anything because my career is really about to take off.

Scotty Valens: And getting convicted for murder might get in the way?

Kat Miller: [while confronting Dennis Hofferman's murderer] You killed him and thought the curtain would still go up?

Lyle: I was just gonna hit him in the leg, send him to the hospital. It isn't fair they canceled the show! Whatever happened to "the show must go on"?

Beautiful Little Fool [3.19]

Violet: I swear, 1929 is going to be the most splendid year of my life, I'm going to see the world.

Ginger: And I swear to meet a wealthy man who's also handsome.

Kat: Could've sworn I saw Muriel through the curtains.

Vera: She must leave the house sometimes, lie in wait whilst she gets the morning paper.

Violet: Do you ever miss being part of the human race with the rest of us, or do you like life up on your mountain?

Death Penalty: Final Appeal [3.20]

William Danner: Internal Affairs will get to the inventory in their own time.

Stillman: But that could take ten years. Andre Tibbs has got two days.

William Danner: Tough.

Jeffries: So if an innocent man dies tomorrow night, you don't care.

William Danner: I've told you my position on this, now please before I drop kick you out of my office.

Barbie: Beep beep beep, paging Mr. Drugdealer.

Andre: Everyone's got their own problems, see there, and when there's bottom and there's no place you can go but there, and when you hit that, you die. Or you close your eyes and believe.

Kate: Believe what?

Andre: There's something bigger out there than what's eating you alive. Something better.

Kate: Is there something better?

Andre: Up to you to find it.

The Hen House [3.21]

Scotty Valens: Man you're making me nervous, why don't you sit down?

Will Jeffries: Because my ass has been planted all day, growing roots in that seat.

The River [3.22]

Lilly: He take the hint, stay away?

Anne: Asked me to marry him a few months after Grant died.

Jeffries: Guess that'd be a no.

Vera: Saying that maybe I'm not 100% totally washed up in the dating world.

Jeffries: Because a crack ho called you?

Vera: Why do you have to say it like that?

Joseph [3.23]

Lilly: Did you know she asked Joseph not to testify against Corey?

Ted: Where did you hear that?

Lilly: Please answer the question.

Ted: Well, someone misunderstood, I'm sure.

Lilly: No, she was pretty clear about it. Believe the phrase was "Do not testify against Corey."

Lilly: Crystal? I'm Detective Rush

Crystal: I'm pretty popular with you guys these days, huh.
