Flynn: I don't understand it. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I haven't eaten ice cream in six years. All I eat is fish and vegetables. How in the world did I end up with a heart attack?
Sharon: I think you will come to agree with me that it is stress.
Flynn: What is there to be stressed about?
Sharon: How about worrying about what you eat?

Sharon: Everything okay?
Rusty: No, but I don't know how to talk about it just yet.
Sharon: Did you tell Gus you don't want to move in together?
Rusty: No... but that's what I can't talk about.

Provenza: Ah, Sanchez is here. Where's Nolan?
Buzz: He left to take care of something else.
Provenza: Something else? Isn't this enough?

Provenza: Sykes. What in the hell are we doing here?
Sykes: Uh, there's a murder?
Provenza: In 30 years, I've never worked a murder in Atwater Village. You know this is the Mayberry of L.A. They don't even have meter maids here.
Sykes: They call them Parking Enforcement.

Sanchez: Allie King is missing, sir. Trying to find her.
Trent: Allie... she's not here.
Sykes: Mind if we rush through? It's faster than getting a warrant, which would keep us here for hours.

Rusty: Hey guys.
Sanchez: Who died?
Rusty: It's my first day interning at the DA's office and Andrea sent me over to get video from your murder.
Raydor: How's it going so far?
Rusty: It's fine but the servers are down so I'm running around picking up stuff. Documents, briefs, crime scene videos.., and coffee. Mom, do you have a second?
Raydor: Mmm hmm.
Provenza: First you want to be a journalist, now a lawyer. Where did I go wrong?
Rusty: I'm irredeemable, Lieutenant. Um, okay, so I just got this really weird text from Gus this morning from Vegas. Um, visit with Mom is okay. Been thinking when I'm back we should sit down and discuss the future.
Raydor: Did you call him?
Rusty: Of course I did, but he said that he couldn't talk and what he had to say needed to be done face-to-face.
Raydor: Are you two having problems lately?
Rusty: No. I mean, I've been watching myself for things like unconscious selfishness and not paying attention and not wasting other people's time and...
Raydor: Gus may have something good to say, Rusty. Try not to worry so much.

Furman: So honestly, guys, what is this all about?
Sykes: I'm guessing one of your clients, Mr. Fuhrman.
Furman: Then this is gonna be briefer than I thought. I don't discuss my employers with the police, nor do any of the lawyers or investigators at my firm. That would be unethical. You know, you should look that word up. Unethical. See what it means.
Flynn: How about if we give the word professional a try, huh?
Raydor: We're probably on the same side, sir. We're looking for Allie King and we heard that you were too.
Furman: Why? Find her?
Raydor: We'll trade information about her possible whereabouts for the name of your client. Allie's boyfriend.
Furman: Him? Well, him I literally can't talk about. I signed a non-disclosure agreement. Sorry. You know, I guess if you'd found Allie you wouldn't be bothering with me, so... see ya.
Tao: I'd tell you to get it all on video but there was nothing to get.

Flynn: Hey. You know my buddy in Operations? You remember Clint?
Raydor: Mmm hmm.
Flynn: He says Winnie Davis is up in arms about the way Provenza left training, claiming he cheated. Well, it wouldn't have happened had I been there.
Raydor: Light duty only til the doctor says otherwise.
Flynn: Anyway, Davis could use this cheating business to push you out of the running for Assistant Chief!
Raydor: Let her. I'm happy where I am.

Tao: I think the victim's shape is pretty interesting. Tight fetal position... see how her limbs aren't resting on their full weight.
Raydor: Could she have gone into rigor elsewhere? Someplace smaller?
Kendall: Possibly yeah! She's also got a bruised cheek, patechia... bruising on the neck. I'd say strangled.
Raydor: You know, with an attack like this, sometimes there's a scream.
Tao: I'll check 911 reports.
Provenza: So you want to use paramedics, not the coroner's van.
Raydor: She was hidden. I'd rather not attract the news choppers and alert the killer that we've found her body.
Provenza: The clothing. The high heel shoes. The expensive dress. Maybe she was going out on a date.
Raydor: Not with the LA River.

Sergeant: I shot the Lieutenant in the head. BAM! There's no talking after death. And he didn't fall down, either.
Provenza: I didn't come here to hurt myself.
Howard: Wait Stop. Stop. Halt the exercise. Lieutenant, when you are killed in active shooting training you are not allowed to order anyone...
Provenza: That wasn't an order, Chief. Those were my dying words.
Howard: Sergeant, will you reset the scenario for Hollywood Division please? This is a fail. Major Crimes will have to repeat this exercise. Now I hope you'll take this afternoon's written exam more seriously. Lieutenant, are you even listening to me?
Provenza: Um, oh, uh... Sorry. We gotta go.
Howard: No, you haven't completed the exercise. And Chief Davis wants these exercises -
Provenza: We caught a murder, and every now and then we actually have to go out and perform the job that we're training to do.

Woman: Don't shoot! We're not the guy.
Provenza: Over here. It's okay now, you're with the LAPD. Did you see where he is?
Woman: Over that way, maybe.
Provenza: Over that way maybe it is. Now you heard the lady Be careful, folks. We almost just lost three civilians.

Nobody wants to be brave, Mark. Brave is what we do when we're all out of choices.

Major Crimes Quotes

Waddya know. A hanging Chad.

Provenza

Provenza: Oh this is a crappy way to make a living. Working with the worst the world has to offer without being in charge.
Flynn: You weren't in charge for eight years.
Provenza: Yeah, but now I'm mad about it.
