- Quotes
Detective J.D. LaRue: Kristen, your hands are so... so soft.
Kristen: Well I have a special cream I love to rub all over my skin.
Detective J.D. LaRue: You do, huh?
Kristen: Made by the secretions of queen bees.
Detective J.D. LaRue: Secretions? What part of your body... skin do you rub this cream on?
Kristen: Well, I like to rub it on the underside of my legs, and then sometimes I like to rub it in all over my shoulders, and sometimes I like to get it in my hands and rub it in between them so it squishes out between my fingers. And sometimes I like to rub it... I have to go. Thanks for showing me how you fingerprint criminals.
Detective J.D. LaRue: Alabaster skin, man, supple bosoms, uptilted...
Det. Neal Washington: Mandatory five-year sentence, loss of pension, picture in the paper...
Kristen: Goodbye, John. I hope you don't have too hard of a day.

'Life in the Minors' is full to the brim with great guest stars (Ron Silver makes a brief appearance as Joes' savvy attorney), and great drama. There is not as much room here for comedy, although there are some good laughs to be had. (Rico shows up hours later, although it appears as if he actually did his job.) Some of the most powerful moments involve Lynn Tatums' grieving family, who are furious and upset and want ANSWERS. It's also a subtly powerful moment when Mick has to sit down after receiving the bad news. It's also frustrating when big, burly biker "witness" Sonny Crockett (Dennis Burkley) hands his interviewers a story that we can automatically sense is B. S. It makes the viewers eager for upcoming episodes where hopefully he will receive some comeuppance. Lucy and the head I. A. D. Officer have a heated exchange that is riveting to watch. And, in the end, it's nice for Frank & Joyce to have a big emotional confrontation, and we can see the love between them, bringing this solid episode to a close.
The guest stars include regulars Terry Kiser, Pat Corley, Gregory Sierra, and Lisa Sutton, along with other familiar faces like Robin Gammell ("Rituals"), Ketty Lester ("Blacula"), Lionel Mark Smith ("Spartan"), Stack Pierce ("Vice Squad"), Bill Randolph ("Friday the 13th Part 2"), and Peggy Blow ("Penitentiary II").
