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.

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.

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

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

Sharon: Meeting your biological father is entirely up to you.
Rusty: Well, then I don't want to. He might not even know about me, but I definitely don't need to know about him. So if you really mean that and you don't mind my hanging around, I'm happy where I am.

Provenza: Look, this is one of the big differences between running internal affairs and working homicides. You send people into seriously difficult situations and they go because it's their job, and Sykes did that job today. Damn well.
Sharon: But lieutenant, what did I miss? I thought...it seemed like we had the situation covered.
Provenza: We're never covered. You have a partner, you have a gun, you have a camera, you have SIS, and a vest and dogs and patrol cars out the ass and people still get hurt. Sharon, there is no defense against bad luck. And we can't even take the time right now to properly consider Amy's misfortune because we have a murder to solve, which I'm sure is what Chief Taylor has come to remind us of.
Taylor: I have.

Flynn, I'm getting in a car, call me as soon as you tell me what hospital they're taking her to.

Provenza

Provenza: Yeah?
Flynn: Hi. I'm an everyday citizen looking to make an anonymous tip. There's a man by the name of Rusty's dad who may be connected to a murder. Also, thank you for the fine job you do. You're an American hero and I don't tell you that near enough.

This is exactly the kind of thing I was trying to avoid by putting you in this office!

Taylor

Right now he's working as a mortgage broker, which is a bad thing, right?

Rusty

Say what you will about her, the woman knows the rules.

Provenza

I will never lie to you. I will tell you everything I know, as soon as I have had reasonable time to assess the facts.

Sharon

Major Crimes Season 1 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.
