- Det. Insp. Edmund Reid: [Speaking to PC Hobbs] Look at me, Constable. It is a fool who joins a fight he cannot win. I would far rather have you here alive, talking to me, than otherwise.
- George Lusk: I'll take that boy now, as recompense for my actions here.
- Det. Insp. Edmund Reid: And I will tell you what I told this man, that he is my prisoner and in my protection. You think yourself above the law, you'd best start acting as such.
- Deborah Goren: [Speaking to Det. Insp. Reid] Children. Men say some are born evil, others blameless. The truth, in my experience, is simpler. They are mirrors, as evil or as innocent as the world that gives life to them. And this world, I need not to tell you this, this world is a wicked one.
- [Susan enters Jackson's room and finds him shirtless]
- Long Susan: Have you lost the last of your addled wits?
- Captain Homer Jackson: No. I, uh... forensicate myself.
- Long Susan: Might a woman ask why?
- Captain Homer Jackson: If she swears to serenity.
- Captain Homer Jackson: [being called to examine a body] Me, I have other matters to attend to.
- Det. Sgt. Bennet Drake: Like hangin' off a tart's tit!
- Captain Homer Jackson: Don't knock it till you've tried it, Sergeant.
- Captain Homer Jackson: [to the corpse he's been examining] This matter of being dead - tell me it ain't all bad.
- Det. Insp. Edmund Reid: [repeating Ms. Goren's quote from the Torah] Whoever saves one life saves the world entire.
- Deborah Goren: I am a secular woman, Inspector. I have seen too much of the truth of things for it to be otherwise. Yet this of my faith I have kept: "Save one life, and you save the world entire."
