Quotes

add »
Receptionist: Sir, if you don't lower your voice I'll have to call the police.
Jack Malone: I am the damn police! (edit)
Ann Cassidy: Any sane person would wonder what we were doing.
Jack Malone: Clearly we're not sane. (edit)
Ann Cassidy: We met. You introduced me to your boss.
Jack Malone: I was married.
Ann Cassidy: And then I was married.
Jack Malone: Then we both weren't.
Ann Cassidy: And now we're having a baby. (edit)

Trivia

add »
When Ted calls him from the payphone outside the university, Zander answers the phone saying 'Hello, Ted'. Since Ted was calling from a payphone, there's no way that Zander could have known for certain that it was Ted calling since caller ID would have referenced the payphone rather than any number assigned to Ted. (edit)

"A very special episode"
I like ongoing storyline in some series, but not this one. Hopefully there will be less Ann/Romance and more finding the missing persons.
