Glory Days [6.1]

Al: (to Will) I know you only played defense but try and keep up.

Lilly Rush: (about the case file being water-damaged) Leaky pipes. Nothing but the best upkeep for the cold ones.

Scotty Valens: Yeah, this will look great in court.

Eddie Saccardo: (running into Lilly and Nick in the hallway) Hi.

Lilly Rush: Hey.

Eddie Saccardo: Good to see you.

Lilly Rush: Yeah. I mean...

Eddie Saccardo: Right.

Lilly Rush: Well...

Eddie Saccardo: Well. Scuse me. (walks off with a suspect)

Nick Vera: Speak English much?

Lilly Rush: What!?

True Calling [6.2]

Vera: Hey, how you doing Carla? I got a cold one, needs running through IVIS ASAP.

Carla: Two weeks.

Vera: It's kinda important.

Carla: Aren't they all?

Vera: Ha-ha, yeah, I hear you. I'm talking special circumstances, uh, the victim was a teacher, you know what I mean? Remember your favorite teacher? Imagine if she got killed.

Carla: I hated my teachers.

Valens: Even back at Reeves High, stealing from the teacher's lounge.

Ramos: That wasn't me.

Stillman: Prison, parole, prison again. Maybe crime isn't your thing.

Vera: Ballistics report on .22 that killed Laura McKinney. [Lilly goes to take it] Ah, this cost me big. Two tickets to Wicked and dinner. I need you to appreciate that.

Lilly: You're my hero.

Kat: You meet Will's girlfriend yet?

Stillman: No, but I heard her all the way down the hall.

Kat: Delightful woman.

Stillman: You get anything from her?

Kat: Hope so, or he's about to pitch an old lady out the window.

Wednesday's Women [6.3]

Vera: Well, it had to be one of ya. Just didn't get up and walk away.

Lilly: What's missing now?

Kat: His cinnamon roll. [Vera shoots her a glance] Don't look at me, I don't eat breakfast.

Vera: You ate my coffee cake.

Kat: Two years ago!

Lilly: Least someone's eaten it. Gotta be food in there older than our cold jobs.

Roller Girl [6.4]

Kat: Uh-uh, no way! Last time you hooked me up with a guy, he wore flip flops and forgot his wallet.

Shore Leave [6.5]

Stillman: I love the smell of toxic waste in the morning...

[Vera notices Will's tie hanging over some paper. He grabs a stapler and staples it to the paper.]

Will: My tie!

Vera: That's for aiding and abetting in a decapitation of my best tie last week!

Will: What makes you think that I had anything to do with that... incident?

The Dealer [6.6]

Vera: I hate cars salesman.

Will: You could use a new ride.

Vera: What's wrong with my car?

Will: Nothing. If you like being single.

One Small Step [6.7]

Valens: What? Like that junkie you busted open back in '68.

Dick: Freak pulled a knife on me. What am I supposed to do, bleed on him?

Triple Threat [6.8]

Will: My tax dollars paying for this circus. I can hardly hear myself think.

Kat: In my school we were lucky to get a field trip to the dump.

Valens: So after tap class, Chelsea Cutler tended her bees...

Kat: I'm working on it, okay? Don't hate. And why do you keep saying "she", could have been a guy, you know?

Valens: Come on. You know how the ladies love to poison.

Kat: Better watch what you drink.

Pin Up Girl [6.9]

Vera: Rita was on the cover of almost thirty pin-up magazines.

Kat: [motioning towards magazines] Those from here?

Vera: [looking around at everyone] Research.

Monty: See, the thing about a good photo is you can stare at it over and over and still find a new meaning in it.

Rita Flynn: Things can change for you. I started right where you did.

Betty Sue Baker: That's what hurts the most.

Street Money [6.10]

Dexter: Um... I, um... I assure you, I um, plan to take better care of our district than I do my apartment.

Wings [6.11]

Vera: Croatia for a vacation, huh?

Will: It's a beautiful country.

Vera: What, Beirut was booked?

Vera: Looked for Republican Hotel employees. The maid who cleaned the room the next, all dead.

Will: Found another T. C. Bromley off Google. One-hit-wonder Arthur... from 1882.

Vera: That makes our doer what, 130?

Lotto Fever [6.12]

Kat: Saw the latest jackpot, just went up to 33 million.

Will: Nick sucked you in on that pool?

Kat: Well, 33 will pay for a lot of old Blue Note vinyl. What about you boss?

Stillman: Got a better chance of winning American Idol.

Breaking News [6.13]

Valens: They say causal Friday, what are you trying out for the team mascot, Nick?

Vera: Pretty girl. Looked great in a leotard. Did you see that special she did on aerobics?

Lilly: You in to aerobics, Nick?

Vera: What's it to ya?

Stillman: Don't let me catch you in a leotard.

The Brush Man [6.14]

[Lilly walks into the ladies' room and sees Vera there shaving]

Lilly: Whoa, whoa.

Vera: A little privacy!

Witness Protection [6.15]

Will: It's a specialized system. Not some push and play you get at the mall!

Vera: You're not going to let this go are ya?

Will: Lil, explain to Nick when you're a guest in someone's home, you treat it like a castle.

Lilly: Trouble in paradise?

Vera: I accidentally put a beer down on one of King Arthur's speakers here, for which I've apologized, multiple times!

Will: First of all, it's a tube amp, not a speaker. And you not only used it as a coaster, you moved it!

Vera: Maybe two inches.

Will: Yeah, sent the acoustics straight to hell and warped my Benny Carter vinyl.

Lilly: Two words for you guys: couple's counselling.

Leigh: Can I at least call my mother? Do you know what she must be going through? We've disappeared into thin air.

Ben: It's safer for her, for all of us, if no one knows where we are, Leigh.

Leigh: You'll do anything to avoid my mother, won't you?

Curtis: Well, law school teaches you three things: delay, deflect, derail and deny.

Kat: That's four.

Jackals [6.16]

Libby: Two things I know, sweetheart, hair and guys who like to hit women. Only one of them I can fix.

Burke: And I don't appreciate you ambushing my clinic time.

Vera: How about I pretend I'm your proctologist and shove my foot up your ass?

Officer Down [6.17]

Vera: Yeah, and it's freaking depressing. Somebody crying about losing their girl, their house. I don't need to hear it, I'm living it.

Will: You got no culture.

Vera: If I admit it, will you turn it off?

Beatrice: Look, I want you out of my apartment! I got my rights!

Kat: I'll give you a right, and a couple lefts too if you don't start talking straight.

Mind Games [6.18]

Vera': Richard Keesel, consecutive lives for starting two fatal fires. Remind me not to invite you to a barbecue.

Libertyville [6.19]

Paul: Making tracks? The girl was a prude. My dog Snowflake had a better sex life than I did when I was going with her.

Stealing Home [6.20]

Will: [To Scotty over his Cuban heritage.] Oh, Cuban Pete's all over this one.

Kat: Sounds good, sign me up.

Vera: Can you catch?

Kat: Hell yeah, I can catch.

Vera: You throw like a girl?

Kat: You guess like a white guy?

Vera: Oz into recycling?

Kat: Nope. But an old CI of mine is. Goes by Clifford.

Vera: As in big red dog?

Kat: As in white boy with dreads.

November 22nd [6.21]

Scotty: It was broad daylight. No one sees nothing?

Will: Well, half hour after Kennedy was shot. Everyone's glued to their TVs. Three gunshots, the sixties were young. I was... playing touch football at recess.

Scotty: Recess? Thought you were like 45 when it happened.

Lilly: No, you're thinking of when Lincoln was shot.

Scotty: Got any names?

Monkey: Yeah. Jackass 1 and Jackass 2. Hoping they're both dead by now.

Will: Baltimore Red. Wimpy Lassiter. The Rifle. Ridiculous.

Kat: Every banger I tracked had some kind of nickname too. This one: Snoopy. Searched every doghouse, outhouse, guess where I found him.

Will: Online dating?

Kat: Dude was pumping gas next to me, big old Snoopy medallion round his neck.

The Long Blue Line [6.22]

Lilly: Pennsylvania Military Institute, all male for 162 years.

Will: Well, mid-90s Justice Department forced almost every state military academy to admit qualified female applicants. Even Valley Forge and The Citadel are coed now.

Vera: PMI was only of the last holdouts till 4 years ago. Can't believe this is still an issue.

Lilly: Male institutions dragging their feet to admit women? Yeah, glad that's behind us.

Vera: Next thing you know, they'll start letting them be detectives.

[Scotty Valens and Lilly Rush are being shown the floor of Echo Company's barracks at the Pennsylvania Military Institute, where Kate Butler stayed in her time there.]

Scotty: [Reading a plaque on the wall] 'A cadet shall not lie, cheat, or steal, nor shall he tolerate those who do'.

Lilly: Honor Code; notice they got one in every building.

Lawrence Gardner: Single-sanction policy, ma'am; one violation gets you drummed out.

Scotty: Pretty strict code for most mortals.

[The three have reached the former room of PMI's first two female cadets. Cadet Gardner turns around before unlocking the door; he holds up the gold class ring on his right hand and speaks as if quoting scripture.]

Lawrence Gardner: And on the Eighth Day, God created PMI.

[Colonel Murillo, Commandant of the Pennsylvania Military Institute, has been called to the Philadelphia PD's offices for questioning.]

Lilly: Thank you for coming in, Mr. Murillo.

COL Murillo: It's Colonel Murillo. I think I've earned that.

Stillman: You can have a seat.

Lilly: You have a problem with Cadet Butler enrolling at PMI, Colonel?

COL Murillo: What's this all about? [Looks at Stillman] Lieutenant?

Stillman: I believe the detective asked you a question.

COL Murillo: What I have a problem with is irrelevant in view of what the courts have decided, now isn't it?

Lilly: It isn't when you allow a student to be assaulted on campus.

COL Murillo: That's a bit presumptuous. Am I on the stand here?

Lilly: You knew Kate was attacked; you should have stopped it from going further.

COL Murillo: I knew no such thing.

Lilly: We have a cadet who witnessed it. Told you what he saw.

COL Murillo: What Cadet Keith Henderson told me was hearsay: I chose to go directly to the horse's mouth.

[A flashback scene occurs with Kate Butler reporting to COL Murillo's office; when asked if she was assaulted by an upperclassman in the barracks the previous night, she denies it, despite Murillo reminding her of the Honor Code, which forbids a cadet from lying.]

Lilly: So that's it? You just let her go?

COL Murillo: What the hell would you have me do? The Honor Code is the backbone of the Institute. If she says it didn't happen, it didn't.

Lilly: She was trying to suck it up. To fit in with the male cadets.

COL Murillo: Well, then. She made her choice, didn't she?

Into The Blue [6.23]

[Major Moe Kitchener, Operations Officer at PMI, is being questioned by Valens and Rush.]

MAJ Kitchener: What happened between Cadets Stewart and Butler was tragic and shameful. But if you're looking to spread the blame, I suggest you start with the courts.

Lilly: The courts... killed Kate Butler.

MAJ Kitchener: Do you know how many Congressmen have graduated from PMI? Twelve. Six Senators; eight four-star generals. Those courts ordered us to change the way we do things here! [Smiles ironically] Now here we are.

Scotty: Stuck installing women's latrines and tampon dispensers.

MAJ Kitchener: There are over sixty women's colleges in this country. Do you see any men banging down the doors, trying to get in? The value of a separate education, is that it is SEPARATE!

Lilly: You sound bitter, Moe.

MAJ Kitchener: Because of this catastrophic experiment, an army of lawyers and press stand ready to shut down the institution I love. The one thing I share with my father, and his before him. Excuse me, if I forgot to shed a tear for Hank Butler's daughter!

[Lilly Rush is questioning Moe Kitchener in a soundproofed room again.]

Lilly: Gotcha, Moe.

MAJ Kitchener: [Casually] That so?

Lilly: Sent Ryan for that footlocker, made Cadet Butler's body disappear, and you framed Lawrence for the job.

MAJ Kitchener: What? Now you're gonna tell me that kid is really dead?

Lilly: I just... I just know he didn't do it. That's all that matters.

MAJ Kitchener: Stories. You're just telling yourself stories.

Lilly: You even tried to take out a cop.

MAJ Kitchener: You?

Lilly: You're busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking competition, Moe!

MAJ Kitchener: [Sighs] You can only keep the flood back for so long, Detective.

Lilly: The flood?

MAJ Kitchener: Pretty soon it's gonna pull you down. For good.

Lilly: [Slamming her hands on the table right in front of Kitchener] You put that girl in a BOX!

MAJ Kitchener: I put you there too, sweetheart.

[Cracks appear in the walls, and water begins to flood in from under the door.]

Lilly: No... No, I got out! I got you!

MAJ Kitchener: Not from where I'm sitting.

[The flood of water increases and Kitchener vanishes when Rush looks away; it is revealed she has been dreaming, unconscious after MAJ Kitchener rammed her car while she was driving across a bridge, attempting to murder her a second time.]
