- Detective Robert Goren: She's like a little puppy in your hands, pissing all over herself with excitement.
- Ron Carver: I've got a case without forensic evidence, a case without...
- [laughs]
- Ron Carver: I can't even prove beyond a reasonable doubt the victim is even dead!
- Detective Robert Goren: Everything he's done to cover his tracks is evidence of a guilty mind.
- Ron Carver: Is there anything we might've missed?
- Detective Alexandra Eames: We took apart his car, the plane. We checked with air traffic control along the eastern seaboard in case he turned up on somebody's radar.
- James Deakins: The short answer is, what you have now is all the case you're gonna have.
- Ron Carver: "Trust me." Hell of a closing argument.
- Detective Robert Goren: He did it. You saw him. You saw his rage.
- Ron Carver: I did, detective, but the jury never will, and his lawyer is no fool. She'll never put him up on that stand.
- Detective Robert Goren: You put me on the stand. I'll get him up there.
- Detective Robert Goren: I want to shove a stick in Kelmer's cage. See what he does.
- James Deakins: What do you got in mind?
- Detective Robert Goren: A leak to the media about finding a torso.
- Detective Alexandra Eames: We're going to tell her family it's not her though, right?
- Detective Robert Goren: No. He could find out.
- Detective Alexandra Eames: I made a promise to her cousin.
- James Deakins: I got to go with Bobby on this one.
- Detective Robert Goren: Do you know a Dr. Peter Kelmer?
- Lisa Voight: Yes. I'm an administrator at the hospital where he works.
- Detective Robert Goren: I don't mean to be rude. Are you intimately involved with him?
- Lisa Voight: We work together. Any relationship we have is strictly business.
- Detective Robert Goren: We got these photos from a private investigator. This thing you're doing to the doctor with your tongue, what business is that, strictly?
- Detective Alexandra Eames: [giving a 'Dirty Harry' style monologue to Valerie Kelmer's boyfriend Warren D'Alacosta] You wanna rethink that answer Mr D'Alacosta? We looked into your pedigree - a couple of DUIs, a couple of dope pops, delinquent on your child support. You drive too fast, drink too much, don't meet your obligations, don't give a damn about anybody. My partner has a fancy word for people like you - psychopath. I call them screw-ups. If you want to join the 2 million of your fellow psychopaths who are already in jail just keep lying to the police.
