Elsbeth: The guard was worried about corruption. 'Cause he knew that accepting any amount of money was wrong. That he could lose a stable job, even be on the hook for future favors.
Captain Wagner: Favors can be misinterpreted. Like how I helped your son get a new job. Someone might view you as exploiting the police force you are here to oversee.
Well, Chris Martin is an underrated genius.
Dr. Holmes
Detective Edwards: Aren't you a defense attorney?
Elsbeth: Yes.
Detective Edwards: Then you know that only hard evidence holds up in court. Not gut feelings from women who wear polka dots over the age of 15.
Elsbeth: You seem so calm. If my colleague was brutally murdered down the hall, I'd be choking down something glazed or powdered.
Dr. Holmes: Well, I suppose I have a very strong constitution. When you cut into people for a living, it's pretty gruesome. If I had a weak stomach, I don't think I'd get very far.

Elsbeth: I love those ball kids. They're so quiet. Feels like they could really sneak right up on you.
Cliff: Maybe you should try out next year.
Elsbeth: Oh. No, I don't think I'd be good at that. Plus, my knees.
Detective Smullen: Is there anything else that you can think of?
Cliff: Yeah, this-this doesn't have any kind of special insight. I just follow Yoyo like any other tennis player. But if you ask me, you should be looking at the Russians.
Detective Smullen: The Russians?
Cliff: Yeah, he was pretty outspoken after the invasion. I think he got under Putin's skin. I mean, it wouldn't be the first time this guy put a hit out on someone.
Detective Smullen: This is why people don't like lawyers
Elsbeth: Really? I thought it was the frivolous lawsuits and overbilling.
Cliff: I'm sorry. I didn't get your name.
Elsbeth: Oh, Eslbeth Tascioni.
Cliff: I actually have a cousin named Elsbeth.
Elsbeth: Tell her I'm sorry.
Anything can happen in those matches. You know that.
Cliff
