Lynette: Remember when I kissed you in this car?
Nash: What! You never kissed me in this car.
Lynette: Ha! I did so. I was 15, a little catholic school girl, blue dress, and you were my older sister's studly college boyfriend. And you picked me up from school that one day. Come on, you don't remember that?
Nash: You're delusional it never happened.
Lynette (laughs): I see, I see. So your memory is not only photographic but it's selective.
Nash: I'm not speaking to you anymore. (edit) (After Nash catches Rick in a technicality and Rick allows Nash to come back)
Rick: Look, Nash, to tell you the truth I kinda missed having you around. Welcome back. Here's your timecard, you go punch in buddy.
Nash: A couple of other issues, Rick. Uh, that coffee machine, outta here.
Rick: Come on.
Nash (to Joe): You still got that sledgehammer?
Joe: Uh, yeah. (hands it to him)
Nash: And that time clock? Well, Rick it's time to punch out. (hits the timeclock with the sledgehammer and everyone cheers) Now what else is there around here that needs to go? You!
Rick: You can't get rid of me.
Nash (walking him out of the SIU): Rick, you can supervise from your old office, down at the hall of justice. You'll do a lot better there kissing ass then you do trying to kick ass here.
Rick: Yeah but I won't be able to help you out on a caseload basis.
Nash: And that's a good thing. You need to step back, let me cover everything. Everybody'll be a little happier. You'll be happier, I'll be happier. Everybody.
Rick: Hold on a second. You're telling me you're gonna do all the work and I'm gonna get the credit? Alright, that sounds fair.
Nash: It's the arrangment the chief and I have had for years. Seems to work. (he leaves and everybody cheers and claps) (edit) Joe: It's simple, Nashman, we're qutting.
Nash: No, man you can't quit.
Joe: Hey man, I got my 22 years in. I don't need any more of this abuse.
Harvey: I'll take a partial pension, Nash, I mean I'd-- I'd rather be a rent-a-cop than work for Bettina.
Joe: Hey, don't knock rent-a-cops.
Evan: I'm gonna transfer to vice.
Nash: Come on guys, I promise 'ya I'm coming back.
Joe: Yeah. Well, when?
Nash: I've already filed my complaint to the police comission.
Evan: Can they overturn the chief?
Nash: When they find out that the chief married into Bettina's family, I gotta believe.
Harvey: Well, Nash, but what's the time frame?
Nash: We're lookin' at a week.
Harvey: Ugh, it'll be the longest week of our lives. (edit) Lynette: It's impossible to get any sleep around here.
Nash: Well, some of us work for a living, sister.
Lynette: Still in denial, huh?
Nash: Yeah, pretty much. (edit) Nick: That was good.
Lynette: You can cook.
Nash: Two dishes, and don't act so shocked. Where's my daughter?

Nash: This late?
Lynette: This isn't late you're just never here.
Nash: Yeah, well I used to have this day gig.
