Cutty: You know, Reynolds reached out to me the other day. He's in hospice now.
Simone: Good. Can't wait for him to die.
Cutty: Come on, no, no, no.
Simone: Reynolds. That crooked cop who framed you? Had you incarcerated for most of my childhood?

Brendon: I thought greasy drive through on Valentine's day? Yuck! I have a cauliflower pizza in my freezer, so I thought maybe we'll jsut do that.
Antoinette: [looking dissapointed] Yeah.
Brendon: You are the worst actress in the world. You do care about Valentine's day don't you?

Brendon: So, still coming over tonight? Do a little ramen. Watch a documentary.
Antoinette: Yes, 8:00.
Brendon: Great. You got a secret admirer I should know about?
Antoinette: Oh, Jackie's husband always sends her a bunch of gifts throughout the day.
Brendon: It's a big ol' waste of money on things you are going to throw away two days later, you know. No, thank you.

Laura: Valentine's day is so lame, but all the sheep will continue to fall for it.
Simone: Well, I love it, and there's no shame in my nosy game. Sir, who are those for?
Deliverly Guy: Someone named Laura Stensen.
Laura: Stensen? That's me. Oh, my God! Atlas! So Sweet.

Duncan: You know that pains me. It's just that my enemies have tied up my fortune wiht their frivolous lawsuits. But as soon as I'm victorious, I am taking you to Forensie Italia.
Simone: What's the matter? Darling, is everything OK?
Duncan: Well, I told you coming here. It's dangerous. That's why I have to travel covertly. Simone: Is there anything I can do?
Duncan: A slight injection of funds right now would help me stay one step ahead of my enemies.
Simone: Of course. How much do you need?
Duncan: $25000 should more than suffice.

I have no family or friends anymore. They all deserted me a long time ago. I don't know what to do.

Brendon: Antoinette, you're not a laboratory technician.
Antoinette: Yes, I am.
Brendon: No, not in my film. You're not. You're an avatar for the victims. You speak for the dead. You're the tip of the spear, solving unsolvable crimes. That's it. That's who you are.
Antoinette: But that's not what the video is about. And frankly, I'm becoming quite frustrated.
Brendon: Good. Use that, just like that. Okay, let's get rolling. And action!

Imagine being convicted of something you had no part in doing. First, it just feels surreal. Give it time. These are professional lawyers and police detectives. They'll find the truth. Then it dawns on you. They want to close the case. They want to move on.

But at least when my dad was incarcerated, I had my mama. She held the family together.

Simone

It's a pleasure to serve, but I cannot accept congratulations on this case. It was tragic on so many levels. A young woman was abducted. Lives were lost. Why? Because a dysfunctional family flaunted their wealth to buy our attention. They even felt so entitled they took advantage of this agency's expertise and resources to rescue them from their own greed.

Simone

Candace: I am impressed with your work and the fact that you represent different types of people that the bureau needs.
Simone: I get it. I check a lot of boxes. I'm a woman of color, I'm a certain age, and let's not forget LGBTQ+
Candace: And that makes you a unicorn inside the bureau.

Garza: You read my mind. I could use a jolt.
Elena: The coffee's for her.
Garza: Wow! It's not enough she got the condo in the divorce. Now she's back. She's trying to steal my nephew from me.

The Rookie: Feds Quotes

Cutty: Two ground rules. One, that badge and that gun must be taken off before you enter. Because in my house, you're my daughter. Not an FBI agent.
Simone: Okay. And what's the second rule?
Cutty: Bring home dinner once a week. Local restaurants only.

It's okay. We got this. We're Feds.
