Quotes 

• Dustin : 25 bucks is a steal. I mean, look at the set list. You get "Nobody Weird Like Me", "Subway to Venus", "Hollywood", "Higher Ground", "Out in L.A." I mean, come on, it's a piece of Chili Pepper history. Recorded in town over at the 7 Club.

  Carrie Wells : [eavesdropping]  No. It wasn't. I was at that show. Saturday, July 21, 1990. First time I wore Doc Martens. And the set list was "Pretty Little Ditty", "Out in L.A", "Higher Ground", "Knock Me Down", "Backwoods", "Nobody Weird Like Me", and the encore was a particularly awesome cover of "Dr. Funkenstein". That is nothing more than a mix tape, not worth more than a dollar.

  Dustin : You calling me a fraud?

  Carrie Wells : Yeah. Oh, either that or you're a total amateur. You choose.

• Al Burns : [as the vic is wheeled out]  He sure was a hero to these folks.

  Carrie Wells : Not if they saw his last fight. Word on the street is Johnny threw it.

  Al Burns : That would piss off a lot of people.

• Carrie Wells : What's going on?

  Al Burns : Vic's Johnny D'Amato.

  Carrie Wells : The boxer?

  Al Burns : Yeah. Are you a fan?

  Carrie Wells : [remembering a boxing match]  Yeah. I-I just sat a few rows away from him recently at the Pacquiao fight.

  Al Burns : You were at that fight?

  Carrie Wells : Yeah.

  Al Burns : With who?

  Carrie Wells : Uh, Frank... Francis.

  Al Burns : Oh, Francis.

  Carrie Wells : Yeah.

  Al Burns : Mr. Secret Service Guy.

  Carrie Wells : Mr. Secret Service Guy, yep.

  Al Burns : For someone who protects the president, he seems to be spending a lot of time in New York.

  Carrie Wells : Well, you know, New York has a lot of... secrets that need servicing.

• Al Burns : Way to show off with Casey back there, pulling out all the boxing stats.

  Carrie Wells : Okay, I was not showing off. I was engaging a possible suspect. Besides, I've always loved boxing. Where do you think I got my sexy right hook?

  Al Burns : Oh, the one you used on me? I wouldn't describe it as "sexy".

  Carrie Wells : December 2001, Syracuse Christmas party. I believe we were dating, and you were hitting on...

  Al Burns : Oh, I was not hitting on her.

  Carrie Wells : ...the bartender.

  Al Burns : I was engaging a confidential informant.

  Carrie Wells : She was a slut.

• Bobby D'Amato : They killed Johnny. All they wanted was for Johnny to be famous. But if he hadn't been famous, he'd still be alive. Johnny's dead because of them!

  Carrie Wells : Bobby, put the bat down.

  Bobby D'Amato : They took my brother.

  Carrie Wells : You don't want your mother to bury two sons in one week, right? Put it down.

• Troy : Okay, so here's the deal. I'm getting you all that "Syndicate" footage ASAP, just like you asked, because I'm all about helping the NYPD.

  Al Burns : That's great.

  Troy : Can I just say that what happened here, with the guns and you and the Albanians and the guy... it was amazing. You both were amazing. Real American hero-type stuff. I just got three words for you to think about: Major Crimes NYC. On TV. On cable.

  Al Burns : That's seven words.

  Carrie Wells : Nine, actually.

  Troy : [offering a contract]  You don't want to be cable famous?

  Carrie Wells : [feigning interest]  *Cable* famous? Al?

  Al Burns : You're already famous in my eyes.

  Carrie Wells : Guess that's a no.

  Troy : Well, you know where I am if you change your mind. You're missing out. We can make a lot of money.

• Joanne Webster : The depth of the cracks would indicate to me that Johnny was punched to death. Which is weird. He's a boxer, and there are no defensive wounds. His blood alcohol came back at .13 percent, there were no drugs in his body, so he was conscious at the time of the attack.

  Carrie Wells : And the alcohol might have slowed him down, but not enough.

  Joanne Webster : Yeah, yeah. And look. You see those scratches around the area of impact? That would be consistent...

  Carrie Wells : With a heavy ring.

  Joanne Webster : Johnny was really worked over. The fact that his lower teeth were knocked out, to me, says...

  Carrie Wells , Joanne Webster : Uppercut.

  Joanne Webster : The temporal bone, shattered. That could indicate a right hook. And these cracks are very deep, and that could mean...

  Carrie Wells : Straight left cross.

  Joanne Webster : Exactly.

  Carrie Wells : [remembering her conversation with Johnny's trainer]  Right hook, left uppercut, left cross. Johnny was killed by his own combination.

• Carrie Wells : What's up?

  Jay Lee : Not my IQ since I started watching the "Staten Island Syndicate Wives" footage. I've gotten to know the real Dervishis pretty darn well.

  Al Burns : [watching a clip]  Okay, what about their alibis?

  Jay Lee : Airtight. Want to see what the family was up to around Johnny's time of death?

  Edon Dervishi : [playing another clip, in which a camera enters Edon and Megi's bedroom]  Hey, this is my bedroom. This is where I sleep with my wife.

  [saying something in Albanian] 

  Edon Dervishi : You're

  [bleep] 

  Edon Dervishi : dead, idiot! Shut...

  Jay Lee : [pausing the video]  I actually looked that up. You don't want to know what he's saying, trust me.

  Al Burns : You're kidding me with this.

  Jay Lee : I know, but, you know, once I started watching it, I really couldn't stop. Like the day Agim got a pedicure. You got to see it; it's... pretty funny.

• Al Burns : [spotting Johnny in footage from "Staten Island Syndicate Wives"]  This must've been before Johnny's restraining order kicked in. You know, his mom said he wasn't seeing anybody.

  Carrie Wells : Well, she was wrong. They're in a relationship, all right. But I can tell you something else: the way he's touching her, I think she's pregnant. Look at that. D-Do you have an address for her?

  Jay Lee : [searching]  Yep. 251 Walker Street.

  Carrie Wells : Okay, that is one block from where Johnny's driver dropped him off.

  Al Burns : That's where Johnny stopped before the festival.

  Jay Lee : Maybe Casey was there, found out about the relationship, about the pregnancy.

  Al Burns : Casey's a pretty traditional guy. She just graduated from college. I'm guessing he didn't like the situation.

  Jay Lee : Sounds like motive to me.

  Carrie Wells : No. I saw Casey's face. How he felt about Johnny. I'm not buying it.

• Carrie Wells : You weren't very fond of Casey, were you? You did an interview last year, March 3, for ESPN. You were quoted as saying "Casey was like an old mule who needed to be put out to pasture."

  Andre 'AK' Kade : Good memory. I stand by that.

  Carrie Wells : Well, then you should be happy to hear that he's dead. Shot right through the heart.

  Andre 'AK' Kade : Whoa. Uh, not that way. Not retire permanently.

• Al Burns : Last month, you set up a $40 million fight for Johnny in Vegas. Johnny going into business with Casey would've messed that up. We're supposed to believe you were cool with that?

  Andre 'AK' Kade : Detective, I've got a lot on my plate. So if you can get to the point.

  Al Burns : Here's the point: we think you had Mr. Parker kill Johnny. Then you had him kill Casey. You were in Vegas yesterday, but we checked your plane's manifest. Mr. Parker wasn't on it. He never left the city.

  Andre 'AK' Kade : I think we're done here. I gave you my time out of respect for Eliot, but now... you can talk to my lawyer.

  Carrie Wells : Okay. We'll leave. Right after you give me the Beretta on your right hip.

  Mr. Parker : I'm not giving up Bonnie.

  Andre 'AK' Kade : Oh, don't worry, Mr. Parker. Bonnie's not going anywhere without a warrant.

  Al Burns : You named your gun Bonnie. That's cute.

• Carrie Wells : Can I ask you a question? What's it like to kiss a girl with a lip ring? A diamond one, no less. You're the one who's been having an affair with Megi, aren't you? That's her in your ad. I don't care how famous you are or how many guns with fancy names your Mr. Parker has. What do you think's gonna happen when an Albanian mobster finds out you're sleeping with his wife? It would be really bad for you if that got out.

  Al Burns : This one's not too good at keeping secrets.

  [after a moment, AK waves Mr. Parker down, and Parker surrenders his gun] 

  Carrie Wells : Aw, thanks. Whoa. Gold plated?

  Andre 'AK' Kade : Eliot's not gonna like you taking Mr. Parker's only gun.

  Carrie Wells : Now, that's not his only gun, is it? He also has a registered Desert Eagle .50 caliber, don't you?

  Al Burns : Let me guess, you call that one Clyde, right?

• Carrie Wells : You know, these pallets... they haven't moved since we were here yesterday, Al. Look at the way they're set up.

  [crouching down behind them] 

  Carrie Wells : Just like a hiding place, right?

  Al Burns : What if he was hiding there the whole time?

  Carrie Wells : [reconstructing the scene in her mind]  Could've used our arrival at the scene as a diversion. And then walked right out of here.

  [seeing someone leaving and spotting a distinctive logo] 

  Carrie Wells : Bobby. Johnny's brother was here. He said he wasn't anywhere near the festival. But he lied; I saw him.

• Eliot Delson : Confession whisperer. That was nicely done. Especially like the way you played the empathy card with Bobby, drew him out.

  Carrie Wells : Well, that's my version of a rope-a-dope.

  Al Burns : [seeing Eliot is confused]  It's a boxing term, Eliot. Stick to sailing.

• Eliot Delson : Speaking of which, just to prove that there's no hard feelings, AK doubled the money that he intended to use for the reward and he donated it to the local Boys and Girls Club in Johnny and Casey's names.

  Carrie Wells : Aw, well, I am sure you will be at that photo op.

  Eliot Delson : He also donated a case of his new vodka, Vodka Kade, to Major Crimes.

  Carrie Wells : Now, that is thoughtful, because I could use a drink right now.

  Eliot Delson : I mean, of course, you know, I couldn't accept it.

  Carrie Wells : It's in your trunk, isn't it?

  Al Burns : No, no. Not his style. It's at his Hamptons house.

  Eliot Delson : Oh. To which, by the way... uh... oh, that's right, neither of you are ever invited again.

• Al Burns : So... are you actually dating Mr. Secret Service Guy now?

  Carrie Wells : Define "dating".

  Al Burns : More than five dates?

  Carrie Wells : Define "date".

  Al Burns : You know what? You're right. None of my business. Next time, I'm the one taking you to a fight.

  Carrie Wells : Why wait? Let's do it right now. Right here.

  Al Burns : Right here?

  Carrie Wells : Right now. Let's do it. Yeah?

  Al Burns : Oh, finally get my rematch, huh?

  Carrie Wells : Let's go.

  Al Burns : Yeah. I'm ready for that right hook this time.

  Carrie Wells : Put 'em up. Come on.

• Carrie Wells : Why are you dancing around like that? What's wrong with you?

  Al Burns : You got to bob and weave. Show me, come on.

  Carrie Wells : [snickering]  Bob and weave? Put your hands up; this is a fight.

  Al Burns : You know we're just sparring, right?

  Carrie Wells : Yeah.
