- Sgt. David Gabriel: [about Anne] Four days ago we decided to combine our resources, but, uh, we've been dating about a year now. It felt like it was time. You know, I haven't told my family yet. I'd actually appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone else around here, knowing what people think about lawyers.
- Captain Sharon Raydor: Married one, myself.
- Sgt. David Gabriel: Really?
- Captain Sharon Raydor: Well, technically he's a lawyer. First he passed the bar, then he spent the next ten years drinking at one till he gave that up for gambling.
- Sgt. David Gabriel: So, what, you're divorced?
- Captain Sharon Raydor: Separated... for twenty years. It's all very Catholic.
- Detective Lt. Provenza: [referring to the unrepentant killer] See, Gabriel, that's the kind of people that lawyers hang out with. You better take a long, hard look at your life choices, my friend.
- Sgt. David Gabriel: Come on.
- Captain Sharon Raydor: Attorneys protect us from people like this, Lieutenant.
- Detective Lt. Provenza: Protect us? How?
- Captain Sharon Raydor: Imagine what we would do with a man like this if we didn't know he had an attorney coming.
- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: Um, I need to make an appointment with you.
- Dr. Stephen Parr: You're kidding me. You've just made it abundantly clear what you think of me.
- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: I'm not looking for a decent human being. I'm looking for a great doctor and... you're it.
- Agent Fritz Howard: It's hurtful, isn't it, when someone thinks their job - I mean, their JOB - is more important than what a... another person might want or need? Is there anyone else we know who you think might sometimes behave like that? Hm? Anyone?
- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: Oh, my gosh. Doctors!
- Andy Flynn: You consider treating cancer a business?
- Dr. Stephen Parr: I'm sorry. Do you wear that badge for free?
- [as Dr. Parr explains his circumstance, Brenda's keenly aware how his wording can apply to herself as well]
- Dr. Stephen Parr: The system should work as designed but sometimes we have mistakes, awful mistakes, so last night, after observing Miss Lee's asymptomatic responses to the chemo, I went back to my office and looked at my own files from last year.
- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: What did you find?
- Dr. Stephen Parr: What I thought I'd find, a period during which many patients seemed not to properly absorb the chemo. When, instead of improving, people died. I felt errors may have been made, but I was afraid that if I brought attention to the problem, that...
- Sgt. David Gabriel: You'd be sued.
- Dr. Stephen Parr: Yes, I'd be sued. I... I deal with life and death on a daily basis. I can be taken to court where, even if I win, I lose. My liability insurance goes up. I have to explain myself over and over to medical boards, my peers... If I ever find myself in circumstances where I can't properly clear my name, nothing is the same after that.
- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: I may not have done right by everyone in my life, but I have always given my professional best to Will. And I've always, always done everything he told me to do.
- Agent Fritz Howard: [chuckles] You have?
- [Brenda glares, he stops laughing]
- Agent Fritz Howard: No, you have. You have.
