- Fritz Howard: But you had a lot of nerve, Brenda, calling me a liar. A lot of nerve.
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: What's THAT supposed to mean?
- Fritz Howard: It means it's funny being accused of being dishonest by someone who lies all the time.
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: I do not lie all the time.
- Fritz Howard: You lie all the...
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: When?
- Fritz Howard: When? You lie to your parents. In fact, you lie to your parents so much we had to have an extra phone line installed for over a year so they wouldn't know I was living here. You lie to Pope CONSTANTLY about what you do at work. You lie to me now when you say you're gonna do something like "look for a house" when you know you're not! You lied when you said you'd put THIS place on the market. You promised you'd do that three months ago and you never did it.
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: That is not a lie! It's just... I get busy, that's all. It's not the same thing!
- Fritz Howard: You know, you're right. It's not the same thing. You and I, we have different flaws, Brenda, but I have been more... I have been MORE than patient with yours because I am pretty aware of how bad mine are; but, for you to say that you don't trust me, to suggest that our whole relationship is on the line because of mistakes I made before we started dating?... You throw the word "if" at me while you're wearing that ring?...

- Andy Flynn: Sergeant.You're gonna have to skip me. I'm gonna stick with my usual cranberry and soda.

- Andy Flynn: Here,take a look at this. I wear this all the time. 10 years in A.A.
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: You're kidding.
- Andy Flynn: Well, you see ,chief, when I used to drink, I could be a little bit of an asshole.
- Louie Provenza: Imagine that,if you can.
- Eugene 'Topper' Barnes: [smugly] So, do I have to talk to you guys?
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: Absolutely not, but I'd really like to hear about your sailing trip with Dr. Schafer.
- Eugene 'Topper' Barnes: Mm-hm.
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: Because there's nothing worse than putting the wrong man on trial, especially for murder, and around here we like to learn from our mistakes.
- Eugene 'Topper' Barnes: Yeah? Well, you guys should be geniuses, then, all the mistakes YOU make.
