- [Mac jumps in the back of an ambulance with a wounded suspect]
- Paramedic: Detective, this man needs to be treated.
- Det. Mac Taylor: I won't get in your way, you don't get in mine.
- [then, Mac assures the suspect that he will get caught]
- Steve Collins: You can't touch me.
- Det. Mac Taylor: Sure I can.
- [Mac slams his hand on suspect's wound]
- Paramedic: Okay, now you're in my way.
- [Mac was a witness to a shooting in the diner where he goes every morning, and Don is taking his statement]
- Detective Don Flack: Well, I'm never going to get a better eyewitness account than this. What did you see?
- [talking to a captured counterfeiter]
- Det. Mac Taylor: Once Steve came out of the bathroom, it all would have gone down as you planned it. Except something happened: I walked in. You may be an expert on the manipulation of bistable colorstaric crystals, but you wouldn't know a police officer if one walked right by you. Clark made me the second I walked in.
- Det. Mac Taylor: This wasn't just a nickel-and-dime robbery. There's more to it.
- Detective Don Flack: How do you mean?
- Det. Mac Taylor: Two guys with no apparent connection, both carrying, end up in a shootout in a coffee shop? Something was going on in there.
- Stella Bonasera: Mac, Aiden got a CODIS hit on the swizzle stick. Recognize any of these guys?
- [Stella hands Mac a mugshot array]
- Det. Mac Taylor: That's what I like about you. You always get the details right.
- Stella Bonasera: Well, technically, you're a witness. So if I only showed you one photo...
- Det. Mac Taylor: You're leading me.
- Detective Don Flack: So what you need is extensive road testing. Say, I take each one up the Taconic and back?
- Aiden Burn: No. I need tire impressions from a 180 spinout. In order to match the bikes, you need to match the tires.
- Detective Don Flack: What about just the Harley? Maybe I take that for the weekend?
- Aiden Burn: It's all about the tires, Flack. Not the bikes.
- Detective Don Flack: Speak for yourself.
- [Detective Danny Messer must undergo a mandatory psych evaluation following his involvement in a shooting]
- Stella Bonasera: You just talked to Danny about the eval?
- [Mac glances at Stella's outfit]
- Stella Bonasera: You like it? Hopefully my date will, too.
- Det. Mac Taylor: [picking up a folder] Yeah, uh... it's all here. He went. He's trying, but... And then this comes across my desk.
- [Mac hands Stella another folder about Sheldon Hawkes, the medical examiner]
- Stella Bonasera: Hawkes wants to work in the field.
- Det. Mac Taylor: I can't get a straight answer about who's handling Steve Collins. That means it's federal.
- [Mac is out on his first "date" since his wife died]
- Rose Whitley: I didn't think you'd come.
- Det. Mac Taylor: I'm here.
