Quotes

Tim Bayliss : You know who I started thinking about today? Gordon Pratt.
John Munch : [shivering] Gordon Pratt? That little weasel who shot Bolander, Felton and Howard?
Tim Bayliss : Yeah.
John Munch : What the hell are you thinking about that little scumwad for?
Tim Bayliss : Well, when he got released, uh, Pratt was found shot to death, and I was put in charge of the investigation.
John Munch : And a swell job you did, too.
Tim Bayliss : I never really closed that case, John.
John Munch : [annoyed] That's what I mean, somebody shoots three of our own, they deserve to have an unavenged death.
Tim Bayliss : You really believe that?
John Munch : Yes.
Tim Bayliss : You believe he deserves to die?
John Munch : [more emphatic] Yes.
Tim Bayliss : And that his murderer should go free?
John Munch : Yes.
Tim Bayliss : [Eyes downcast] You know, when I got shot, my whole perception of the universe just completely changed. But when I shot that homeless guy, that Larry Moss, suddenly, I knew what it was like to take another person's life. Suddenly I was just like the person who killed Adena Watson. See, Frank said that I would never be a good homicide detective because I didn't have the killer's instinct. Frank was wrong. You know, I always suspected you.
John Munch : [nervous] Of what?
Tim Bayliss : Killing Gordon Pratt.
John Munch : [freezing, looking shocked] Why in god's name after all this time would you pull Gordon Pratt outta the dirt?
Tim Bayliss : I don't know. It just came to my mind.
[creepily reaches forward and strokes his hand through Munch's hair]
Tim Bayliss : Good night, John-Boy.
[walks away, leaving Munch glaring at the sky vengefully]

Meldrick Lewis : It happened, Bayliss! No amount of wishful thinking or good karma is gonna change that!
Tim Bayliss : You're such an ass.

Tim Bayliss : Justice is a BITCH.
