Quotes 

• John Reese : So you off to chase your man in the suit?

  Maxine : No, you were right. Urban legend. And with the week I just had, if there really was a man like that, I think I'd have met him by now.

• Maxine : There's a rumor about this guy. The police just call him the man in the suit. No one's seen his face. No one knows his name. I'm not even sure he exists, but he's like something out of a comic book. When people are in trouble, he comes out of nowhere. He always seems to be there just in time. And whoever he is, he saves a lot of lives. And he shoots a lot of kneecaps.

  John Reese : Sounds like a great guy.

• Maxine : I was surprised to hear from you. There's generally no second date when the first one ends in homicide.

• John Reese : Maxine, this is Zoe. She's a friend.

  Maxine : So, how did you two know each other?

  Zoe Morgan : Oh, we spent two very long nights together last year.

• Zoe Morgan : Leonard Pitt and Craig Bogle. Forced out for harassment and malicious prosecution. Word is, that they were in someone's pocket. They were using those badges to do favors for the real boss.

  Maxine : The man who got Zambrano killed with one call from a disposable cell The head of HR. Who is he?

  Zoe Morgan : There are some secrets that even I don't know. But you know who buys disposables by the case? Criminals, sure. But also political campaigns. Cheap, untraceable, anonymous. And if they get caught playing with dirty tricks, it saves their ass.

  Maxine : [an election ad appears on TV. Maxine has a hit of realization]  Zambrano gets killed for knowing the name of HR's boss five days before an election. Are you telling me the boss is running for mayor?

  Zoe Morgan : I'm rendering an opinion. Personally, I avoid politicians. They so rarely have any real power.

• Paul Hix : Who the hell are you?

  Maxine : I'm the person who's not telling your wife that you're in a hotel room waiting for a hooker. Your office wasn't returning my calls, Mr. Hix, so I thought I'd reach out to you personally. Maxine Angelis, New York Journal.

  Paul Hix : This little game cuts both ways. What'll your readers think when they find out you get your stories using blackmail?

  Maxine : They'll think I'm good at my job.
