Quotes 

• Louie Provenza : You understand that it's days like this that make detectives wanna just give up, right? Eventually, it becomes clear: You're just pushing the rock up the hill so it can roll back down over your heart and crush your life's work.

• Louie Provenza : You know that this is going to make your ex-husband... mad as hell?

  Captain Sharon Raydor : I hope so, Lieutenant. That's when he makes his worst mistakes.

• Andy Flynn : [sees "Application for Retirement" form on his desk]  What is this? Some kind of a joke?

  Louie Provenza : Heh, you... you didn't print up a retirement application?

  Mike Tao : Oh, that's mine. Forgot all about it, and it's not about retiring. It's about the deferred pension program. My business manager wants to check it out.

  [chuckles] 

  Julio Sanchez : Deferred pension?

  Buzz Watson : What is that?

  Mike Tao : Well, ideally, you put away more money from your paycheck, so you can save it tax-free until you retire.

  Amy Sykes : What... what, you have a business manager?

  Mike Tao : Well, he deals mainly with my consulting fees from "Badge of Justice".

  Andy Flynn : Oh, my God, how much do you make on the show anyway?

  Mike Tao : Well, my business manager said I shouldn't talk about it.

  Louie Provenza : Wait, wait, wait, so you're not thinking about calling it quits?

  Andy Flynn : Of course I think about it. Every day. But the truth is... I've given up so much of my life for this job, including a decent relationship with my children and most of my faith in the human race, that there's... no place else on earth that I fit in.

  Louie Provenza : Now, that's the right attitude.
