Cold Case

Stillman: You've been lucky a long time, Spencer. Lilly: Eighteen years without an arrest. Spencer: It's not luck that's kept me out of trouble. I'm out of the game. Lilly: Just like any other working man: fake social, half a dozen aliases... Stillman: Which name's real?

Lilly: Nice trick with the decoy. Spencer: If I knew they'd send me a cop that looks like you, I wouldn't have bothered.

Det. Miller: So, how do we find a guy who changes his name more often than his underwear?

(Scotty storms into A.D.A. Thomas' office.) Scotty: You turned me in to IA, didn't you? Alexandra: Your charm never ceases to amaze. Scotty: Not even denying it. Unbelievable! Alexandra: I got asked a question, answered honestly. Try it sometime. Scotty: Where I came from, we got an issue with someone, we tell him. Alexandra: Where I come from, we don't tolerate screw-ups! Scotty: What's your problem? Alexandra: I could ask you the same thing! Scotty: You're pissed I never made a move. Alexandra: Come on, Scotty! Figured you were smarter than that. Scotty: Ahh, yeah, you got me all figured out, eh? Alexandra: You're nothing if not predictable. (Suddenly Scotty pushes over a chair.) Scotty: See that coming? Alexandra: Go ahead! Destroy everything! It's what you are good at! Scotty: (coming closer)You've got no idea what I'm capable of. Alexandra: Is that right? (They start kissing passionately.)

Lilly: It's tough, losing someone close. I'm certain wherever she is... she's glad you came. Spencer: Don't be too sure. Lilly: When my husband... Sometimes I feel responsible, you know? Spencer: You like older men, detective? 'Cause your husband died in 1942. (Lilly glances the headstone in front of which she's standing. It says, "Richard Edwards, 1877–1942".)

Det. Miller: (planning a stakeout) So we plant an obit. "Margot Chambers, blah blah blah, being buried at Oakland Cemetery." Stake it out. Det. Jeffries: No, not me. Got court. Det. Vera: When? Det. Jeffries: Whenever the stakeout is.

Lt. Stillman: They let you cross the street in daylight? A.D.A. Alexandra Thomas: Prepping testimony. Some of these medical types need cuddling. Scotty: And they sent you? That's funny. A.D.A. Thomas: And with that ringing endorsement... Scotty: Don't be so sensitive. A.D.A. Thomas: (dumbfounded) I should go. (to Lilly) Glad to see you back on the job. Lilly: Thanks. A.D.A. Thomas: Lieutenant, detective... (Scotty doesn't ever look at her as she leaves.) Lt. Stillman: (whistles) And I thought the cold war was over. Scotty: What are you talking about? Lilly: Only thing you didn't do was pull her pigtails.

John Stillman: Woman was no transient. Scotty Valens: That means someone out there should be missing her. Lilly Rush: That, or they're glad she's finally dead.
