- Detective Alexandra Eames: [realizing DePalma faked a holdup] A starter's pistol, I would've shot him over a starter's pistol.
- Detective Alexandra Eames: [Eames and Goren find a briefcase in a trashcan. Eames wants to call the bomb squad; Goren sees an ID on the briefcase and grabs it, which scares the hell out of Eames] It's good to be back.
- Johnny DePalma: [as they step out of a restaurant "for a smoke"] Come on. We're cutting out on the bill.
- Margie Timmons: You can't be serious.
- Johnny DePalma: As serious as cancer.
- Detective Robert Goren: [clutching Johnny DePalma against him] You held her close? Like this? So she could feel your "life-force" flowing into her?
- [Goren kicks DePalma's chair across the interrogation room]
- Detective Robert Goren: But it wasn't life, was it? It was a dance of death.
- Johnny DePalma: [about Goren] Probably got lost on a doughnut run.
- Detective Robert Goren: [enters interrogation room] I heard that.
- Margie Timmons: [at a dance class] I'm not very good at this.
- Detective Robert Goren: Just do what I do.
- Margie Timmons: Yeah, except backwards and in high heels.
