Julianna Margulies: Linda

Quotes 

• ASA Ed Danvers : [disappointed]  C'mon Kay, I'll take you home.

  Kay Howard : No, I... I need to be alone tonight, okay?

  [walks away] 

  ASA Ed Danvers : [leans over, whispers harshly]  Thanks a lot, Munch.

  Stanley 'The Big Man' Bolander : We'd better go...

  [to munch:] 

  Stanley 'The Big Man' Bolander : I'll deal with you in the morning, and DON'T look forward to it!

  Linda : [Linda glances at Munch, who looks forlorn and dejected]  C'mon Stan, we can't just leave him...

  [Stan sighs in exasperation] 

• John Munch : Linda... it is Linda, isn't it?

  Linda : [laughs]  Yes!

  John Munch : ...You're a very nice person... and obviously you're capable of the impossible by making Stanley happy. Your homespun stories don't play with me, I'm a homicide cop. Nothing surprises me!

  Linda : Nothing?

  John Munch : Absolutely nothing!

  [suddenly numerous rainbow-coloured fireworks go off, sparkling in the air, startling him] 

  John Munch : What the HELL was that?

  Linda : [laughs]  I don't know... your heart, maybe?

  Stanley 'The Big Man' Bolander : [walks over]  WOW! Look at that!

  John Munch : [laughs nervously]  Yeah, look at that...

  Stanley 'The Big Man' Bolander : Wow, god!

  John Munch : [suddenly seeming more cheerful]  ... You know, Stanley... this woman, you gotta respect her. Why she goes out with you, I'll never know. As far as I'm concerned, your great fortune lies right there in the mysteries of life, right alongside the whereabouts of the lost tribes of Israel, and the meaning of the lyrics to 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'.

  [Linda laughs] 

  John Munch : I think I'll go look for a couple of those lost tribes right now...

  [walks away] 

  Stanley 'The Big Man' Bolander : I'm sorry 'bout him...

  Linda : Oh, he's alright, Stan... you just don't understand him at all, do you?

  Stanley 'The Big Man' Bolander : Nope, I don't... but then again, I don't need to.

  [Linda laughs and she and Bolander gaze at the fireworks in awe]
