Quotes 

• Scully : Thanks, everybody, for coming out to Hitchcock's divorce party.

  Raymond Holt : Why is the cake two men getting married?

  Scully : That's me and Hitchcock. The boys are back together!

  Raymond Holt : This cake is for a gay wedding. The inside is a rainbow.

  Scully : Nuh-uh. It's my favorite flavor: All the flavors!

  Hitchcock : I can't believe Bethany's gone. It was so out of the blue.

  Jake Peralta : Well, not entirely. I mean, she did have an affair with her hairdresser, and you filmed it and threatened to release the tape, and then she said she didn't care and put it on the internet herself, and then, when it started to make money, you sued her for half the profits.

  Hitchcock : And then boom, out of the blue: Divorce papers.

• Terry Jeffords : I can't play favorites. You never did when you were in charge.

  Raymond Holt : Of course I did.

  Terry Jeffords : Really? I never got any special treatment.

  Raymond Holt : I think you can do the math there.

• Raymond Holt : I'm off to walk my beat again, much like Sisyphus, condemned to push the same boulder up the same hill day in and day out.

  Terry Jeffords : You know, according to French philosopher Albert Camus, Sisyphus achieved happiness in that absurd repetition.

  Raymond Holt : Any French philosophy post-Rousseau is essentially a magazine.

• Raymond Holt : Lieutenant, as you know, I've been walking the same beat for the past three weeks. It's become a bit tedious.

  Terry Jeffords : I thought you loved tedium.

  Raymond Holt : I love monotony. They're very different.

• Terry Jeffords : Think of it this way: It's like doing reps at a gym. Doing something over and over again is how you make your pecs pop.

  Raymond Holt : The only muscle I care to work out is my brain.

  Terry Jeffords : Then get those reps in and make that brain pop.

  [Starts flexing his pecs] 

  Terry Jeffords : Pop, pop. Pop, pop, pop.

  Raymond Holt : What you're describing is an aneurism.

• Scully : I gotta say, I'm loving these. I always wanted to wear Hammer pants.

  Raymond Holt : Stop.

  Scully : Hammer time?
