Quotes 

• Det. Meredith McCarthy : [flashback]  Look, I'm not defending the guy.

  Nick Sax : Okay.

  Det. Meredith McCarthy : I'm just saying, this piece of shit's not worth us losing our jobs over.

  Nick Sax : So take a walk, grab a falafel. It won't take you long.

  Det. Meredith McCarthy : You know I can't do that. You're my god damn partner.

  Nick Sax : Three domestic abuse calls in the last week. That guy's beating on that poor girl like Keith Moon at Woodstock and we're supposed to turn the other way? Why? Because he's some rich asshole's lawyer?

  Det. Meredith McCarthy : You know, I think we got our roles reversed here, Sax. You're supposed to be the cynical, jaded vet who plays by the rules, and I'm supposed to be the idealistic young rookie who just can't accept that sometimes the bad guys get away with shit.

  Nick Sax : [with a sarcastic round of applause]  Like I said, Mer, falafel. It's calling your name.

• Amanda Hansen : [discovering an abducted child wasn't really abducted]  Tell me she's gonna be okay.

  Det. Meredith McCarthy : Wish I could.

  Amanda Hansen : They cried to me and I believed them. Why would anyone do that to their own child?

  Det. Meredith McCarthy : Who knows? Fifteen minutes of fame? I stopped figuring out the "why" a long time ago.
