Favorite Quotes: What'd you say? Alex Eames: I pity the fool.

[WendyCR72]

In "Inert Dwarf" when Alex was goading the second wife, Joanna, about positions when getting it on with her wheelchair-bound hubby, when wifey was accused of abuse, I thought the whole exchange was darkly funny as the wife balked, and then Alex ended with, "Well, if you're going to be a prude about it..."

 

The tone and snark was awesome there.

"In the Wee Small Hours". -- club kid to Goren: "I don't remember them. They your grandkids or something?"

Yeah, ouch. LOL! If I recall, they also threw shade at Logan, too.

[Donny Ketchum]

I forgot.  In which episode did Eames make her "produce section" line to Goren, and what about the scene made her say it?

[Donny Ketchum]

Agree. I mean, Barek spoke Spanish, Greek, Polish, Italian, English, Cantonese and one more language, I think it was in "Diamond Dogs" I think is what she told Mike.

It was in "Diamond Dogs," and the last language was Yiddish.

"In The Wee Small Hours" Goren is looking at ink spills on the judge's desk, "I'm checking to see which ones are fresh"

Eames: "They must love you in the produce section."

[WendyCR72]

"In The Wee Small Hours" Goren is looking at ink spills on the judge's desk, "I'm checking to see which ones are fresh"

Eames: "They must love you in the produce section."

 

In almost the same tone as her comment in S2's "Dead" to Goren about how much fun he must have been in science class or whatever.  :-) Eames was consistent with her snark, to be sure.

Was that in part one or two?

[cooksdelight]

Part two, when the judge first came under suspicion.

My favorite thing Eames did was when she'd put the cuffs on someone, she'd say, "You're under arrest..... (pause).... for MURDER." Chilling!

[WendyCR72]

Was that in part one or two?

 

I think it was part 2.

[cooksdelight]

It was part two, because they never got into the judge's office at home until that episode. Previously, they were concentrating on the son, his room, and the various characters who interacted with the girl on the tour, at the laser tag, etc.

Oh, good. I guessed right then. Glad my memory isn't completely gone just yet!  :-)

[Eolivet]

From "Collective," when Bobby describes the life of the cult as "having sad vampire sex in a sad wooden box" (or something). It's the "sad vampire sex" that makes it funny. Love the snark, and VDO's line delivery.

 

Any of the cast in "1000% done" mode (as the kids say) is a thing of beauty.

[cooksdelight]

I liked when Eames said, "No wonder he was angry. She stole his robot."

[Maherjunkie]

 

In almost the same tone as her comment in S2's "Dead" to Goren about how much fun he must have been in science class or whatever.  :-) Eames was consistent with her snark, to be sure.

I think that was Con-Text.

[cooksdelight]

Nope, it was "Dead."

[Goren squeezes the sores on a corpse and produces pus. Eames winces.]

Eames: You must have been so much fun in biology class.

[Goren rolls the pus between his fingers and sniffs it.]

Goren: Actually my biology teacher, Mr. Dixon, didn't think I was much fun at all.

[Eames nods and fails to look surprised.]

[Maherjunkie]

Corrected!

Cool! Consider this bookmarked for future use/reference.

 

So, "Magnificat" is about to end, but I found it hella ironic when dick hubby screamed, "It's not my fault she's evil!" Dude needs a mirror. And I applaud Bobby for not strangling him from across the table.

[cooksdelight]

"Now..... THAT'S affect!"

Best line from the whole show.

Great actor, from an acting family, but I couldn't stand his pompous ass in this episode.

[WendyCR72]

"Now..... THAT'S affect!"

Best line from the whole show.

 

That really was spot on.

[WendyCR72]

With S1 rotating around again, I noticed while the quotes themselves aren't necessarily special, Courtney B. Vance had a certain panache with them. Like in the pilot, "One", the way he used his hands and told Jake, "Life, death, the choice is up to you!" was delivered great as was his warning to a perp in "Homo Homini Lupus".

 

"The dominoes are falling, Mr. Pettijohn. You want to make sure to get ahead of them before they fall on YOU."

[cooksdelight]

It's Vance's velvety voice that does it. He has such a disctint way of speaking, it's like cream cheese on a hot bagel.

He really fit the role of a well-educated ADA well. Even in the courtroom scenes (as few as they were), CBV's diction was flawless.

Logan in "Dramma Giocoso" inventorying the conceited conductor's wardrobe:

 

"Concert suit, concert shoes, concert shorts." Made me chuckle.

[Eolivet]

From "The Last Street in Manhattan:"

 

Eames: "Proust. I gave up after the first million pages."

Goren: "You know it gets better after the second million pages."

[WendyCR72]

Yeah. This is my fave episode from that season. I like Eames giving him the tour of her old neighborhood and seeing her dad, etc.!

[WendyCR72]

In S1's "Smothered", Bobby finds a fish scale on Lois, the dead woman.

 

Alex: "Great, she was killed by a shark!"

Bobby [serious, intent on the body]: "Sharks don't have scales."

Poor exasperated Alex sighs.

In the first Nicole Wallace episode, "Anti-Thesis", Goren and Eames at one point pose as a married couple and go to an upscale shoe store to find out who bought their schluppy graduate student suspect a pair of expensive shoes (spoiler - it was Nicole!).  The entire exchange with the befuddled clerk - with them playing the part of bored rich yuppies - is delightful.

 

Goren: What about these?

 

Eames: I dunno, the whole ankle boot thing.

 

(Goren like throws the shoes down, hee!)

I tend to zone out on anything Nicole. But I forgot that gem in the midst! So thanks for the awesome reminder. :-)

 

I also recall them posing as a couple in "Pas De Deux", the episode with the late Charles Rocket who ropes a ninny of a teacher into helping him rob banks. I don't recall any real quotes there, but Goren playing the penny-pinching hubby asking about linoleum flooring was also a hoot.

 

G/E went undercover so rarely, but the times they did were always good for a grin.

[TeeVee329]

G/E went undercover so rarely, but the times they did were always good for a grin.

 

Agreed, usually because they were playing clueless and ditzy, respectively, which was sooo opposite of their personalities, heh.

 

I do remember they went undercover during the whole weird vampire sex group episode too.

Oh yeah! And in "Con-Text", too, when they were investigating some motivational thingie covering up basic torture and brainwashing that led to murder. They again played a couple wanting to join Gracenote's seminars.

 

Like I said, it was rare. Funnily enough, I don't ever recall the later other teams ever doing the same.

[WendyCR72]

Loved how Bobby didn't mince words to the perp at the end of "Con-Text":

 

Bobby: "Hear that, Doug? You failed the course. You're still the same loser you were before you joined Gracenote." Hee.

[WendyCR72]

From "The View From Up Here" (as Alex, Bobby, and the perp, Victor Garros, watch security footage of Victor climbing up the building shaft):

 

Alex: "The bigger the building, the bigger the vermin in the walls."

[Cobalt Stargazer]

Falacci: "Okay, wow, that is way more of Patrick than I ever wanted to see. But where's the woman's face?"

 

Logan: "He'll flip her over in a second."

 

*off of her look*

 

"Hey, he's cheating on his wife, he's not going to go missionary the whole time."

 

The funniest thing about it is that Falacci's standing there with this face that's like, Wow. That's way more than I wanted to know about you, too.

[WendyCR72]

From "Icarus", as Goren and Eames watch drunk Broadway director Amanda Rollins have a meltdown at the outdoor memorial for the slain actor:

Alex: "They should have sold tickets to this!"

[WendyCR72]

Talk about irony - and unintentional foreshadowing:

"Faith" S1:

Bobby: "I'm just a natural-born skeptic. Maybe I haven't had enough tragedy in my life."

[WendyCR72]

Logan was always good a quip, be it here or the Mothership. From S5, "In The Wee Small Hours", as he and Barek go to a rooftop hangout, just before they find a missing girl's body:

Barek: "They're turning this into a park."

Logan: "The rats will be thrilled."

Also from "Wee...":

Barek (paraphrased): "What kind of a parent sends their kids off without any pants?"

Logan: (With a derisive look) "Besides mine?"

That's not a rooftop, that's The Highline - at the time an abandoned and pestilent elevated railroad spur, now considered one of the modern jewels of urban reclamation.

Just remembered a great Carver quote from In the Wee Small Hours, after Goren and Logan find out they've arrested a prominent judge's son in the case:

"Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen, we're flying into the eye of the hurricane"

By the way that episode came out the year of Katrina.

Talk about unintentional irony (Katrina)! Another quote from that two-parter.

After Judge Garrett has been arrested and is being escorted out as the reporters/press swarm everyone:

Logan: "Sorry to pull you out of your hot tub, Your Honor!" (As the judge was known as Hot Tub Harry.)

From S4 "In the Dark", Bobby at the university body laboratory/chop-shop

"Cat got your tongue?  'Cause there's an extra one in here"  (pointing to bin full of body parts).

OMG, yes! I loved that. (Even if that was a disturbing episode on the whole!)

"Grow" is airing now, and I like Alex's little pithy "Nice desk!" to Logan - sitting alone near that wall pole - as she and Goren stroll into Deakins' office.

So many snarky one liners. So many great quotes from both Bobby and Alex.

 

Post your favorites here!

 

Watching "Badge", I love the scene where Viola Davis' character is telling Bobby, who's acting like a schlub, that he can't afford a nice house because he's not Frugal enough:

 

"You're not that Frugal.  You buy nice clothes...pay full price, nothing in your size is EVER on sale...you like Good Food...You have someone in to clean your apartment every week...I wonder how you make subway fare, the way you spend money."

 

Hah! Except, those of us that know Bobby, KNOW he don't have no one coming in to clean his place!

That is one of my absolute favorite lines!!! 

[Scrapsandsass]

Another one I loved was from Phantom.

 

Eames: The only money I got from my family was the 50 bucks my dad gave me for my prom dress.

Goren: Is that the same year you were selling apples outside city hall?

Eames: It was matchsticks, and it was snowing.

[WendyCR72]

Alex to Bobby, S10 "Icarus" (now on WE):

<After finding clove cigarettes at a love nest hideout the composer shared with the dead lead actor>

"Rock stars. Don't they know it's not safe to smoke in bed?"

[WendyCR72]

Same episode when questioning the composer about his homosexual relationship with the lead:

Bobby: <To music guy's lawyer> "Or maybe he was giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation..."

Music guy: "Actors are such people pleasers!"

Bobby <VDO's delivery is what makes this!>: "I know, I know!"
