- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: [upon learning the victim seduced eight women for his TV show] He did this to eight women and he only got shot once?
- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: Ugh, excuse me. Chief, um, am I to understand that you and, uh, Lt. Flynn and Lt. Provenza handed over all the evidence from the crime scene, including the gun, to a Detective... DICK... TRACY?
- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: Did you even ask to see his badge?
- Will Pope: No, I didn't.
- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: Then how could you have been so certain that he was an actual LAPD detective?
- Will Pope: He knew my mission statement!
- Andy Flynn: That should've been proof that he didn't work here. How did we miss that?
- Marie Morgan: Oh, my God. I just realized I never had sex with a dead person before.
- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: Well, presumably he wasn't dead when you had sex with him. Was he?
- Richard Tracy: A parking garage: cold, dank, unforgiving. As mundane as evil itself, and yet...
- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: [interrupting] Detective, just the fact pattern, please.
- David Gabriel: This? This is the Hook-Up King? This method must really work.
- Julio Sanchez: [smiling] It does.
- Richard Tracy: I demand to see my union rep!
- Andy Flynn: You don't HAVE a union rep!
- Richard Tracy: Oh, well, no wonder I'm so poorly represented!
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson:
- [to Detective Dick Tracy]
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: Mr. Baird, this is not a game where one of us says,"It was done in the library with a candlestick by Mr. Mustard!"
- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: [summarizing] So, we have a tainted crime scene, a murder weapon and casings out of the chain of custody... We... we HEARD that there were witnesses from someone who could quite possibly be the killer, and if not, a pathological liar.
- Will Pope: But what will your division think of me if I submit this untruthful report to the chief?
- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: That you are exactly who you said you wanted to be - just one of the guys.
- Will Pope: Well, what does THAT mean?
- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: We lie to you all the time. Everybody does. Robbery Homicide, Vice, Narcotics, even Traffic, heh-heh. It's the one thing that unites every division of the LAPD. We... we all lie to our boss.
- Will Pope: I-I don't... What am I supposed to say to that? What? "Thank you?"
- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: You're welcome. And, um, as far as the respect that my division has for you, I-I-I can assure you, Will, that nothin's changed from yesterday to today.
- Will Pope: Honestly?
- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: Honestly.
- Andy Flynn: [to Lt. Provenza] Well, you served the warrant, Pope did the notification, I wonder what the hell I'm doing right now.
