Quotes
-
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : [at swimming pool murder scene] From the way you were ogling that guy, I figure you must have been doing more than taking a statement.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Men ogle. Women observe.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : And the difference would be?
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Observation requires discrimination. Ogling, all it needs is a...
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Yeah, well, a swimmer hasn't got real muscle anyway. It's show muscle.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Well, it shows well. Michaelangelo's sculpture of David comes to mind.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Oh, get one of those guys on a football field and see how hard a tackle he can take.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Uh-huh.

Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : [on phone, while Tom leans in over her shoulder to blatantly eavesdrop] No, I, I'm sure your brother is a great guy. It's... it's just I have this, uh, policy. Well, I would never date a... a guy whose conversation included the word "giddy-up"...
[chuckles]
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Uh, uh, yeah, that's a firm policy. Mm-hmm. Okay. Thank you for speaking to me. Okay. Bye.
[cradles receiver, walks away, whirls on Tom]
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Do you understand the words "personal time"?
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : I understand 'em. I don't agree with 'em, but I understand 'em.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : [scoffs, walks away in a huff, he follows her, in corridor she whirls around] You know, every once in a while, you do something that reminds me why I had to keep my gun locked up while we were married.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Okay, you're right. Hey, sorry. I just don't understand why a woman who looks like you is having trouble finding a guy to take her to a stupid rubber-chicken dance.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Has a woman ever asked you out?
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Of course.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : And when she did, what was the first thing that popped into your mind? Did you think anything was gonna happen that night?
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Cassy, not all men think the way you think they do.
[she smirks]
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Okay, well, maybe they do.

Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : I like "Dumb and Dumber." You know what your problem Is?
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Oh, that I didn't know which character was which in "Dumb and Dumber?"
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : You're too picky. You know what's gonna happen? Friday night's gonna roll around, and you're not gonna have a date for that dinner. You gotta lower your standards.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : [walks away, then turns around again] How low?
[Tom points at himself]

Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : [approaches poolside amorous mostly-undressed couple] Sergeants Ryan and St. John, Palm Springs PD.
Brenda : [busy kissing and being kissed] Can you get back in ten minutes?
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : [to Cassy] It's cheaper than renting a video.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : [to the busy young woman] Are you Brenda, the manager?
Brenda : Is there any way this can wait?
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : We're here to talk to Mark Ripley, one of your tenants.
Brenda : [kept busy] No one here by that name.
