Quotes 

• Ron Carver : I've got a case without forensic evidence, a case without...

  [laughs] 

  Ron Carver : I can't even prove beyond a reasonable doubt the victim is even dead!

  Detective Robert Goren : Everything he's done to cover his tracks is evidence of a guilty mind.

  Ron Carver : Is there anything we might've missed?

  Detective Alexandra Eames : We took apart his car, the plane. We checked with air traffic control along the eastern seaboard in case he turned up on somebody's radar.

  James Deakins : The short answer is, what you have now is all the case you're gonna have.

  Ron Carver : "Trust me." Hell of a closing argument.

  Detective Robert Goren : He did it. You saw him. You saw his rage.

  Ron Carver : I did, detective, but the jury never will, and his lawyer is no fool. She'll never put him up on that stand.

  Detective Robert Goren : You put me on the stand. I'll get him up there.

• Detective Alexandra Eames : The woman has boyfriends coming out of her ears!

• Detective Robert Goren : I want to shove a stick in Kelmer's cage. See what he does.

  James Deakins : What do you got in mind?

  Detective Robert Goren : A leak to the media about finding a torso.

  Detective Alexandra Eames : We're going to tell her family it's not her though, right?

  Detective Robert Goren : No. He could find out.

  Detective Alexandra Eames : I made a promise to her cousin.

  James Deakins : I got to go with Bobby on this one.

• Detective Alexandra Eames : [giving a 'Dirty Harry' style monologue to Valerie Kelmer's boyfriend Warren D'Alacosta]  You wanna rethink that answer Mr D'Alacosta? We looked into your pedigree - a couple of DUIs, a couple of dope pops, delinquent on your child support. You drive too fast, drink too much, don't meet your obligations, don't give a damn about anybody. My partner has a fancy word for people like you - psychopath. I call them screw-ups. If you want to join the 2 million of your fellow psychopaths who are already in jail just keep lying to the police.
