- Dr. Morales: Now, all I can tell you about the murder weapon is that it's conical in shape, pointy at the top and widening out towards the base.
- Lt. Louie Provenza: Sounds exactly like my second wife.
- David Gabriel: Nice dress, by the way.
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: Really? Does it make me look like the Queen of England? 'Cause that's how much money you need to be a police officer these days.
- Raymond Aguirre: There are two ways you can contact us. Um, one is with the tip line. The other's by sending an e-mail, like this one: Um, "To whom it may concern. My neighbors are building a retaining wall, and not only does their contractor start work too early..." - which is a very common complaint; we get it all the time, um - "... he doesn't have a permit posted in the front yard." I don't know why people even care that happened. "Could you check on this for me? Sincerely, John David Dale." And that was dated four days ago.
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: Well, that is extremely unusual.
- Raymond Aguirre: Why is that?
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: Because when he wrote this, Mr. Dale was buried beneath the retaining wall he was complaining about.
- Fritz Howard: Why are you interested in a missing gnome?
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: 'Cause he saw the murder, up close and personal.
- [Pope sees a garden gnome in the murder room wearing handcuffs]
- Lt. Louie Provenza: [answering Pope's quizzical expression] Flight risk.
- Gavin Q. Baker III: But as we say in my profession: "We'll double-cross that bridge when we come to it."
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: [learning abut the dead man] A sex offender?
- Lt. Louie Provenza: Mm. Sure you don't just want to cover him up and call it a day?
