Quotes 

• Brenda Leigh Johnson : Will someone please call the paramedics? I want her taken out of here in an ambulance.

  Julio Sanchez : But, Chief, she's dead.

  Brenda Leigh Johnson : Well, then, you better hurry.

• Will Pope : [summarizing the case]  An "unidentified" woman may or may not have talked her "unidentified" boyfriend into murdering her, yes, "unidentified" husband.

  Brenda Leigh Johnson : Well, there are a few gaps, but we're workin' hard on finding out who these people are, or were, anyway.

• Will Pope : Why is your whole squad here on a Saturday?

  Brenda Leigh Johnson : [sighs]  Because killers work weekends, too, Will.

• Louie Provenza : I don't know if you've noticed, but, um, Gabriel and Daniels can hardly stand to be in the same room together anymore.

  Brenda Leigh Johnson : I already issued an order for them to sort out their romantic problems.

  Louie Provenza : You-you are an excellent leader, Chief, but... you can't just boss around the human heart.

  Brenda Leigh Johnson : Lieutenant, I'm in the middle of a double homicide investigation. I don't wanna talk about this right now.

  Louie Provenza : Well, I don't wanna talk about it either, but... Look, Sanchez was gone for four months on a disability leave, and then... and then Gabriel took a week off for some training, and Daniels was off at some Homeland Security labs for two weeks. I mean... Look, I may not be a psychic, but as an experienced civil servant, I can tell you this: the brass will not let you do with six people what you'e proven you can do with five.

  Brenda Leigh Johnson : [thinking]  Chief Pope told me this morning that he may have to promote someone from Major Crimes to the CI Division.

  Louie Provenza : Well, there it is, then. There it is. And, I'm telling' you, Chief, h-h-he could take Sanchez, or Tao, or even Flynn, and our problem would still be the same, and it's sitting right out there.

  [Brenda and Provenza gaze out at Daniels and Gabriel working at their desks] 

• Claire Howard : Skeptics. Some people just won't believe what they can't see.

  Brenda Leigh Johnson : Like in juries.
