- Barney: That coffee's a funny color.
  Yemana: It's maroon.
  Barney: How'd it get to be maroon?
  Yemana: It's the color spectrum. You mix brown coffee with yellow water and you got maroon.
  Barney: Why is it fizzing?
  Yemana: It's the air sneaking out of the cracks out of the cup.
  EDIT SHARE
- Driscoll: You know, you look exactly like Boris Karloff.

- Barney: If anybody hustled you, it wasn't anyone from this precinct!
  Driscoll: All I know is, he showed me his badge and said he was from the Twelfth and told me I had a choice—pay through the nose or bleed through it. And, God, I've already got a deviated septum.
  EDIT SHARE
- Yemana: Hey, just out of curiosity, what's it feel like being dead?
  Fish: Frankly, I expected it to be much quieter.
