- Det. Laura Ballard: [about Bayliss' new attitude] Well, he almost died.
- Det. Stuart Gharty: I almost died. You don't hear me quoting Hindu.
- Det. Tim Bayliss: I died, y'know, after I got shot. It's...
- Det. John Munch: You mean you had a near death experience?
- Det. Tim Bayliss: Oh, no, not near death. I, uh, actually died.
- Det. John Munch: You mean you were going towards a bright light and all your ancestors were waving "howdy"?
- Det. Tim Bayliss: No... It was more like I, uh... more like I could feel all the... I don't know, the different... parts of me, the... elements that make up my physical presence - water, air, earth - I could feel them... breaking apart, dissipating... Yeah, becoming one with, um... The greatest force of energy in the universe.
- Det. John Munch: Tim, this zen detective thing is starting to really rub my rectum the wrong way.
- Det. Tim Bayliss: Oh. I don't expect you to understand unless you understand, John.
- Det. John Munch: See, that's exactly what I'm talking about.
- Det. Tim Bayliss: What?
- Det. John Munch: It's like being partner with a fortune cookie.
- Det. John Munch: [to Bayliss] You don't want to partner with me. I'm bad luck. I'm a curse: Bolander, Russert, Kellerman. I'm like a black hole. You partner with me before you hand your badge in.
- Det. Tim Bayliss: So... what, G's father was Italian and his mother was black?
- Det. John Munch: Yeah.
- Det. Tim Bayliss: Must've been tough.
- Det. John Munch: What?
- Det. Tim Bayliss: Y'know, growing up half-breed, being accepted, figuring out what your loyalties are.
- Det. John Munch: G's loyalties are to the Baltimore PD.
- Det. Tim Bayliss: No, I mean before that, John. He wasn't always a cop.
- Det. John Munch: You sure about that?
- Det. Tim Bayliss: Interviewing G's relatives, you get to find out a lot more than you knew before. For instance, did you know that G, when he was seven years old, could speak two languages?
- Det. John Munch: No. Did you know he was prom king?
- Det. Tim Bayliss: No. Did you know that his son and he haven't talked since G's wife died?
- Det. John Munch: Yes... which should make the next few moments incredibly interesting.
- Det. Tim Bayliss: Why's that?
- Det. John Munch: Here comes the son.
- Det. John Munch: [at the end of canceling a date with Lewis] Let's keep our relationship professional?
- Det. Meldrick Lewis: [pretending to be distracted from reading his newspaper] Strictly professional.
- [Sheppard leaves; Lewis tosses the newspaper in the air and crosses the room to Munch, incredulous]
- Det. Meldrick Lewis: You hear that? Huh? Did you hear that?
- Det. John Munch: You ever considered dating a prostitute?
- Det. Meldrick Lewis: No. Why?
- Det. John Munch: Well, a prostitute is a professional, right? That way, you can keep the relationship professional and still get laid.
