Gil: Are you ready?
Malcolm:  Am I ready? I slept a full three and a half hours! OK, three. It was some quality REM mixed in there.

Simon: I like to create a safe space.
Malcolm: I'm not sure I have a safe space.
Simon: You can have one, but it takes work. I specialize in the treatment of inadequately processed trauma.
Malcolm: Gotcha and got that.

Simon: Were you concerned about Bright's medical state? 
JT: Of course, I was. If Bright's was an actual state, it would be Florida. 

Jessica: Detective Powell. How lucky Malcolm is to be surrounded by this army of nurturing women.
Dani: I'm only following orders. 

Jessica: Something happened between Malcolm and Watkins underground. Something more than he will admit.
Dani: He didn't mention anything, but Bright has been through a lot.
Jessica: My son sleeps in chains, subsists on sparkling water and licorice, and can barely take care of a parakeet, but he is still here. Please, you might be his closest friend.

Simon: Right. You invited yourself. Is that something you do often? Insert yourself where you're not needed?
Dani: Yup.
JT: Oh, yeah.
Gil: One hundred percent.
Malcolm: I'm always needed, not always wanted.

He tried to kill us.

Young Malcolm

Malcolm: Nothing is more important than the case.
Simon: Explain that to me.
Malcolm: I grew up inside a case living with a killer. If I had solved that one faster, more people would have been saved. When I put myself in danger to find a killer, I'm not thinking about me. I'm thinking about them, the victims.

Malcolm: Tell me what you did to Andy! Where is Andy?!
Quentin: I don't know. That's why I'm here. She was taken by them! 

Simon: And why were you so eager to help with the investigation?
Jessica: Gil. Lt. Arroyo is a friend, and I love when my friends are indebted to me.

I had been worried about Bright all day. Now, I was scared.

Dani

Gil: I brought you onto the case because you're the best at what you do, Bright. But not when you get like this.
Malcolm: Like this? I'm like this because of Martin whitly, because of John Watkins, because of you! 
Gil: What? 
Malcolm: You asked for my help. You knew I couldn't say no, and you brought them all back into my life. You did that. You started this!
Gil: Get the hell out of my precinct.
