Michael Cram: Constable Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth

Quotes 

• Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : You remind me of this girl, a girl from my neighborhood growing up. She was smart, she was funny, she was beautiful. And then she got married... real young to this guy who beat the crap out of her. The thing about Shelley was that she's such a tough cookie, that it took us, I don't know, two years to figure it out. Two years... before I realized why she wore turtlenecks in the summer. Before I figured out why she's always looking so scared. Two years before I could help her get out of that marriage, before anyone could help her get away. And you know what? If I'd been given half a chance, I would have killed him.

• Ed Lane : Well, can you go any slower? Well let... do you want to just stop? Let's just stop. I'm cool with that. We'll just stop the car.

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : What is your problem?

  Ed Lane : I don't have a problem.

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : It's my opinion. All right? Your kid gets into some trouble, you go into the school. You figure it out.

  [Ed scoffs quietly] 

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : What? That's how I feel!

  Ed Lane : Shelley teach you that?

  [Wordy chuckles] 

  Ed Lane : Just go, go braid some hair, express your emotions. All right, Wordy? Whatever!

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : No, you know what Shelley taught me?

  Ed Lane : No, Wordy, what'd your wife teach ya?

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : Don't be a victim, don't be a perpetrator, and above all, don't be a bystander.

• Woman (on tv) : You must release me. For if you do not, I cannot be held accountable. My lord, you have shattered my heart. You have awoken my soul...

  Mike Scarlatti : [sneaking up on Wordy who's watching tv while on a treadmill]  You do! You've awoken my soul!

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : [getting on an exercise bike]  Wordy, this is the SRU. You can't be watching 'Lady in Waiting.'

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : It's a good movie. It's historical.

  Ed Lane : [walking in]  Wow.

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : I got four women in my house, all right? Anything that helps me get closer to Shelley and my girls - I'm there. If this is what they're watching, I want to know about it. We got no secrets.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : I think you need to shoot something.

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : Well, after you, Siskel. You're the one that recognized the quote. Oh yeah!

  [raises hand to high-five Scarlatti] 

  Mike Scarlatti : Oh snap!

  [high fives Wordy] 

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Hey, you know what? It's on freaking Pay-Per-View every hour on the hour, all right?

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : Well, maybe you and I should sit down, watch it together. Compare our favorite scenes. I can braid your hair.

  Mike Scarlatti : That's tricky business.

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : Oh, not really. Do it for Allie all the time. She's got less hair that either of these two.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Ow! It's okay. Bring it. Come on!

• Sgt. Gregory Parker : We've got no calls yet, but tonight there's gonna be a full moon so...

  Sam Braddock : So?

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : So full moons they make people crazy, proven fact so... gonna call tonight patrol night.

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : Alright.

  Mike Scarlatti : Whoo!

  Ed Lane : Yes!

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Alright do a little Team One PR, let the city know we're here, keep the bad guys on their toes. Yeah Spike?

  Mike Scarlatti : [hand raised]  Club district? Me and Lou? What there's all kinds of troubles there all the time.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Fine patrol happy hour, all those very threatening young women in tube tops, but just uh, button up.
