- [Danny has been messing with newly arrived Detective Lindsay Monroe]
- Danny Messer: [about savaged body in tiger cage] I'm sure you've never seen anything like that up in Montana.
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: You ever see what a full grown black bear does to a man?
- Detective Mac Taylor: [talking to Lindsay in the tiger's cage] I need you to hold the tiger's jaw so I can get a dental impression.
- Danny Messer: [whispering to Lindsay] Just take a deep breath, don't let him know you're afraid 'cause he can sense when you're nervous.
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: The tiger's been tranquilized. I think I can handle it.
- Danny Messer: I'm talking about Mac.
- Danny Messer: [offering advice to newly arrived Detective Lindsay Monroe about Mac] And make sure you call him "Sir".
- [a short time later, Lindsay and Mac are working together]
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: Sorry, sir, I recite meaningless trivia when I'm nervous.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Don't call me "Sir".
- [Earlier, Danny tricked newly arrived Detective Lindsay Monroe into saying "Sir" to Mac. Now, Lindsay looks for something in the lab]
- Danny Messer: Can I help?
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: [sarcastically] No, thank you. You helped enough already this morning.
- Dr. Sheldon Hawkes: [to Stella as she lifts a spider with tongs] Careful there, Miss Muffet. That hairy creature rates near the top of the deadly species list.
- Dr. Sheldon Hawkes: What causes high blood pressure in an 18-year-old girl?
- Det. Stella Bonasera: Uh, just about everything.
- Detective Mac Taylor: [talking about Ryan Knight] Some people's stories are so stupid, you couldn't make them up.
- Detective Mac Taylor: [to Detective Lindsay Monroe, after she knocks down a fleeing suspect] What do they feed you up there in Montana?
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: You know, petting a cat has been scientifically proven to lower your blood pressure.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Maybe the vic heard the same thing.
- [looking at body of young woman in formal white gown]
- Dr. Sheldon Hawkes: Runaway bride?
- Det. Stella Bonasera: If she is, she didn't get very far.
- [in morgue, discussing dead woman]
- Dr. Evan Zao: This is interesting - take a look at her shoes. Why drop bank on a pair that's two sizes too small ?
- [Stella compares shoe to woman's foot, then glances at her young face]
- Det. Stella Bonasera: Well, she may look like Cinderella, but the shoe doesn't fit.
- Danny Messer: [about the vic in the tiger cage] He ended up puzzle pieces?
- Detective Mac Taylor: Let's put him back together.
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: [as Stella hands her a napkin for the spilled coffee] Oh, thanks.
- Det. Stella Bonasera: No problem.
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: My feet haven't touched the ground since I clocked in.
- Det. Stella Bonasera: Well, welcome to the crime lab.
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: In Montana, they gave us breathing breaks.
- Det. Stella Bonasera: Let me give you a tip. Protein bars, comfortable shoes, and at least four hours of sleep a night.
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: [referring to reports] Well, that's not going to help me today. Mac wants these now.
- Det. Stella Bonasera: No, Mac wants them right. That's all that matters.
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: I just don't wanna slow things down.
- Danny Messer: [at they enter the walk-in freezer] That's alot of hamburger.
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: Back home, people keep this much meat in their basements.
- [Family members of the victim subtly pressure Mac]
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: What did they want?
- Detective Mac Taylor: For us to know the clock is ticking.
- [in the lab, Danny matches tape used to bind the victim, Bobby Venetti, with roll of tape found at his meat-packing plant]
- Danny Messer: Tape, meet roll.
- Dr. Sheldon Hawkes: Explain to me what a debutante ball is precisely?
- Det. Stella Bonasera: It's the presentation of a young woman into high society.
- Dr. Sheldon Hawkes: It looks more like high anxiety.
- Detective Mac Taylor: [to Vinetti] Get the hell out of here, or the next time you see my face, you're gonna be wearing bracelets.
- Tanya Danville: Not every fairy tale has a happy ending.
- Det. Stella Bonasera: [cuffing her] Certainly not yours.
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: Detective Taylor?
- Detective Mac Taylor: Yeah.
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: Lindsay Monroe.
- Detective Mac Taylor: My new investigator from Bozeman.
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: Your office said you wanted me to come down as soon as I arrived?
- Detective Mac Taylor: Glove up.
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: Now?
- Detective Mac Taylor: You here to watch or work?
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: I've heard about these reconstructions. I've never done one before.
- Detective Mac Taylor: No better way to start your first day on the job.
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: Well, the tiger was pretty good.
- Dr. Evan Zao: I made casts of the impressions you took, created a 3-D simulation to recreate the attack and account for all the bites. Here's the damage done from the tiger.
- [showing Mac the simulation]
- Dr. Evan Zao: Now, everything fit except for one wound track.
- [he shows Mac a circular wound]
- Dr. Evan Zao: Cause of death was exsanguination. Something severed the subclavian artery, but it wasn't your tiger.
- Detective Mac Taylor: [going to question a suspect, Lindsay notices an advertisement for an apartment for rent] You still haven't found a place yet?
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: Still looking.
- Detective Mac Taylor: You look in Brooklyn, Queens?
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: This girl's heart's set on Manhattan. 'Till then, it's Uncle Freddy's couch in Tarrytown.
- [investigating crime scene involving tigers at the Bronx Zoo]
- Detective Mac Taylor: [to Detective Flack] Hey! Sneezing on my crime scene.
- Don Flack: Sorry, Mack, allergies. Cats. Hate 'em.
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: [after repeatedly stabbing the pig for tests] Well, I'm done eating bacon for life.
- Dr. Evan Zao: [walking into the lab] Whoa. What is that smell?
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: [searching for human remains that the tiger swallowed] Tiger dung. The zoo just made a fresh delivery. Everyone else just happens to be conveniently busy.
- Dr. Evan Zao: You know what they say: It's a dirty job, but...
- Det. Lindsay Monroe: The rookie's gotta do it.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Where is he?
- Angelo Venetti Sr.: I'm sorry, Detective, I don't know who you're referring to.
- Detective Mac Taylor: I want Parker.
- Angelo Venetti Sr.: Why? What do you care, Taylor? Justice is served. It's what you're all about, right?
- Detective Mac Taylor: You're admitting your involvement in his disappearance?
- Angelo Venetti Sr.: My brother's son is dead. Anything happens to the guy that did it, I'm thinking justice is served. Doesn't make me involved. Anyway... what makes you think he's dead?
- Detective Mac Taylor: I don't think it, I know it. You trailed our investigation, you picked up Parker and killed him.
- Angelo Venetti Sr.: Well, you know what they say about opinions and a certain body part? Everybody's got one. You're welcome to yours.
- Detective Mac Taylor: I've got Felix Parker's apartment under a microscope, and I will find something.
- Angelo Venetti Sr.: Maybe there's nothing to find. Did you ever think about that?
- Detective Mac Taylor: There's always something to find. Always. And when I find it... I'll be coming for you.
- Danny Messer: [processing the scene] Hey, Mac. This, uh... looks like packing tape.
- Detective Mac Taylor: It's starting to make sense. The vic bled out here, but there's no spatter associated with a mauling.
- [noticing blood on a rock a few feet above his head]
- Detective Mac Taylor: This wasn't a Kodak moment gone bad.
- Dr. Sheldon Hawkes: Found her shoes.
- Det. Stella Bonasera: Pierre Gascone. Big bucks.
- Dr. Sheldon Hawkes: Why leave them over there?
- Det. Stella Bonasera: She took 'em off. It's all about pain, Hawkes. How much you're willing to endure in order to look good. She's young, traces of vomit. I'm thinking alcohol poisoning. I think she was completely blitzed, she probably didn't even realize she dropped them.
- Dr. Sheldon Hawkes: Yeah, well, if that's the case, she wasn't drinking solo. Pulled a set of partials off the controls, and there's no way that this girl broke that lock by herself.
- Det. Stella Bonasera: Jogger found her this morning. What happened last night?
