Jane Curtin: Joanne Webster

Quotes 

• Joanne Webster : John Patton. Admitted to Columbia Presbyterian suffering from seizures and lethargy. They put him in triage. He took off when no one was looking. The petechial rash hadn't presented itself yet. And it is similar to Ebola, so the EMTs were right to be concerned. But when I saw the RDX under his nails, I knew.

  Al Burns : Would such a small amount kill him?

  Joanne Webster : No, he would have to be involved with a much larger concentration over a prolonged period.

  Al Burns : So you're saying he was making a lot of C-4 for a long time.

  Joanne Webster : At least a week. Probably more.

  Eliot Delson : [approaching]  That's a little outside your area of expertise, Joanne, don't you think?

  Joanne Webster : Eliot, how did you get in here? They usually make people who are not cold, dead stiffs wait in the... reception. That's how.

  Eliot Delson : Aw, you've been rehearsing that, haven't you?

• Eliot Delson : Joanne, I love what you've done with the place. All hard surfaces and sharp, pointy things for cutting people, it's... so you.

  Al Burns : One day, you got to tell me what happened with you two.

  Joanne Webster : It'll take a lot longer than a day.

• Al Burns : EMTs were alarmed enough. They sent the librarians and other patrons to the ER.

  Joanne Webster : Well, if this is Ebola or any other virus, and this guy came in contact with with other people on the way over here, then we are in big trouble.

  [looking around] 

  Joanne Webster : Not a bad place to end up.

  [finding a hospital braclet on the vic's wrist] 

  Joanne Webster : Better than the hospital he escaped from.

  Al Burns : A lot of viruses in hospitals. Could he have caught what killed him there?

  Joanne Webster : Ah, it's possible.

• Joanne Webster : Well, the good news is a virus didn't kill him.

  Al Burns : So is there bad news? 'Cause normally I want that first.

  Joanne Webster : [indicating her test tube]  See this? Turns blue in the presence of nitroamines. Our buddy here was poisoned by RDX, which is a primary component of C-4 explosive.

  Carrie Wells : He was building a bomb.

• Al Burns : Jo's pretty sure our victim was using a lot of C-4.

  Eliot Delson : About that, until we get further confirmation, I'd rather not go too wide with that theory.

  Joanne Webster : You want me to cover up my findings.

  Eliot Delson : No, but I have answered about sixty phone calls this morning about the Ebola attack on the public library that wasn't. So before we go announcing a bomb-making scare, I'd like a little more proof.

  Al Burns : Eliot, C-4's only used for one thing: to blow stuff up.

  Eliot Delson : Yeah, look, maybe this guy's digging himself a swimming pool or taking a tree out of his back yard.

  Joanne Webster : Oh, please.

  Eliot Delson : All I'm saying is, for now, I'd like to keep this in-house.

  Al Burns : I get it. We go wide with "bombmaker" now, we've got to bring in Homeland Security, they take it off our plate.

  Eliot Delson : And I like things on my plate. I imagine you guys do, too, so... keep going. Let's see what this guy was trying to blow up. And when we need help, we'll ask for it.

• Joanne Webster : Listen, Carrie, I think I found your missing place hacker, Harold Estes.

  Carrie Wells : Where?

  Joanne Webster : He's in a thousand tiny pieces at the beach blast site. The explosion atomized him.

  Carrie Wells : Are you sure?

  Joanne Webster : I ran the DNA. It's a match.

  Jay Lee : But the explosion happened over a week ago. Transit cop we talked to said he gave Harold a ticket day before yesterday.

  Carrie Wells : Marty Auerbach.

  Jay Lee : Yeah, that's the guy.

  Joanne Webster : No, that's impossible. Harold's been dead a week. Science doesn't lie.
