Quotes 

• [explaining the job to Holly, the new girl] 

  Catherine Willows : We restore peace of mind. And when you're a victim, that's everything. Stick with it. At least until you solve your first, and if after that, you don't feel like King Kong on cocaine, then you can quit. But if you stay with it, my hand to God, you will never regret it.

• Catherine Willows : What do you think?

  Warrick Brown : Oh, he's lying. That's why I took this job, I can always tell when a whitey's talking out of his ass. It's a gift.

• Holly Gribbs : Hi, I'm Holly Gribbs.

  Catherine Willows : I'm Catherine Willows.

  'Lesley Stahl' - Liquor Store Owner : [sarcastically]  And I'm Lesley Stahl.

  'Lesley Stahl' - Liquor Store Owner : [serious]  Look, forget the formalities. Which one of you people's gonna clean my counter here.

  Catherine Willows : Let me tell you something, lady: if you don't care about catching the suspect, neither do we. We're outta here. You can pick up your gun tomorrow.

  Holly Gribbs : [whispers to Catherine]  You can do that?

  Catherine Willows : [whispers back]  No!
