Senator: It was great to meet the LAPD's best and brightest...
Provenza: Which am I? The best? Or the brightest?

Sharon: Damn it.
Flynn: Wow. Such language.
Provenza: Shocking, I know. It seems that the Captain has suddenly become very frustrated with the system.

Rusty: Great! The rules win! Now you can get rid of me and it's not your fault.
Sharon: I am not--
Provenza: Okay! That's enough! That's enough! now you know that I am not friends with this woman, but if she wanted to get rid of you she could have dumped you in a group home months ago.

Rusty: You talked to him? And what did you think?
Sharon: Rusty...I'm gonna tell you the truth. I can't say that I liked him. I don't know him. [tearing up] And I can't be objective. He made an effort to come and see you and you should think about that.
Rusty: Sharon, I'm sorry.

Provenza: I'm sorry about Rusty, Captain. You've got a tough situation there, I guess.
Sharon: I can't tell him I want him to stay because what if his father turns out to be a terrific human being? And, on the other hand, I can't push him to see Mr. Dunn. It would be like asking him to leave. And if he goes...Rusty comes with certain challenges and very frankly, I would like to be sure that this guy is up to the job.

Morales: I'd like to demonstrate how this happened. Lieutenant?
Provenza: For the record, I'm uncomfortable.

Sharon: I think it says something good about Daniel that he waited around for 12 hours.
Rusty: I waited for 16 years.

Rusty: I've been looking it up all day long on the internet. That whole parental rights thing. If he takes us to court, we're screwed. The law is on his side. We don't have choices. So don't say we have choices--either of us.
Sharon: We can choose how we react.

Rusty: but he won't like me, Sharon. He'll find out everything about me and--I can't. It makes me feel like I have to run away, to be somewhere else.
Sharon: You can't get to somewhere else because the thing you want to run away from, you take it with you. Where you go, it goes. So before you run away, why don't you give him a really good look in the eye?

I know that I already said I was sorry for saying that you wanted to get rid of me. That was--that was terrible. And I don't really think that. I just feel like I don't really belong here sometimes. Which is weird, because you have been nothing but good to me, Sharon. I know that. I always know that.

Rusty

Tao: Lydia, what did you see when you went downstairs?
Lydia: I saw daddy stabbing mommy with a knife.

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.
