Raydor: Chief Johnson?
Brenda: I have a complaint.
Raydor: When have you not?

As hard as a secret is to uncover, it's even harder to keep.

I'm not looking for a decent human being, I'm looking for a great doctor and you're it.

Brenda: Lieutenant Flynn, your resignation surprised me most of all. The whole time I've been here, you've never said one complimentary thing about or to me.
Flynn: Chief, you have really great legs.

Brenda: It still says I didn't care about what happened to Turell Baylor.
Raydor: That's okay, nobody cared about him until he died.

Sir, I've had a terrible day. I'm anxious, I'm stressed and I'm a little shaky, so if you don't drop your gun right now, I'm gonna put a bullet through your head. Are we clear?

Pope: You know, it might me a lot easier on your parents than you think.

I'd like to start with you, Ms. Powell. I'd like to say how sorry I am that I was unable to ignore your general level of incompetence in the wrongly obtained conviction in the case of Bill Croelick. And I'm sorry if you felt hurt and defensive about putting a man on death row for the wrong crime, and I certainly hope that that will never, ever happen again. Agent Jackson, I deeply regret that the FBI handed over two million dollars to a man on a terrorist watch list without the capacity to trace it, or managed to follow him for months without knowing his wife was having an affair with a doctor, and I hope you do much better in the future. Captain Taylor, I suppose I should apologize to you for not having been born in Los Angeles, but having seen you work up close now for several months, I can honestly say that try as I might, I can't think of any fair and reasonable system on earth where I wouldn't outrank you. There. I hope that clears everything up.

Brenda: You're what?
Fritz: They're moving here, they're looking for a house in our neighborhood; isn't that exciting?!

Brenda: You see Turrell Baylor in hell, you ask him what I wouldn't dare to do.
Gavin: Oh my God.
Taylor: She doesn't mean it, Gav. Baylor's cost her a lot of grief. If she can get a little mileage out of him, why not.

The Closer Quotes

If I liked being called a bitch to my face, I'd still be married.
