Frances Goren: It's amateur hour here today, The doctors the nurses, they talk to me like I'm an idiot. I'm telling you I've had it with these people and if you don't come soon I'm walking out. (hangs up the phone)
Robert Goren: (hearing the dial tone) Mom? (edit) Robert Goren: Maybe you should console him, Commissioner, he was almost your son-in-law.
Commissioner Leland Dockerty: My daughter's dead, Detective. I don't owe anyone my sympathy right now.
Robert Goren: Well, maybe you never do, maybe that's why Amanda never told you the whole story.
Danny Ross: Detective!
Commissioner Leland Dockerty: What do you know about my daughter? About what kind of father I am?
Robert Goren: As little as you know about who I am. (walks out)
Danny Ross: (calling after him) Detective, you're out of line! (edit) Robert Goren: You wanna fire me? Fire me, I don't care. (edit) Alex Eames: (about Wesley) He took off after we talked to him? THAT doesn't make him look guilty. (edit) Alex Eames: My husband Joe, he was a cop. He once gave me a Taser gun for our anniversary. Sometimes you want to be more than your job. (edit)

Eames was a bartender at one time. (edit) Eames was married to a cop named Joe who died in 1998. He once gave her a taser gun for their anniversary. (edit)

Robert Goren: She could have staged this and gone AWOL.
Alex Eames: AWOL or runaway bride.

This might have been a reference to the 2000 movie Runaway Bride which starred Julia Roberts as a woman with commitment issues who keeps leaving her fiances at the altar. It could also be a reference to real-life runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks, who disappeared from her Georgia hometown right before her wedding and then re-appeared days later in New Mexico, claiming to have been abducted and sexually assaulted. She later admitted that she was not a crime victim and had simply fled to avoid her wedding. (edit)
