Quotes 

• Terry Jeffords : [to Charles and Rosa]  What were you thinking, breeding guinea pigs at work?

  Charles Boyle : We weren't breeding them on purpose, they're just very sexual creatures and we didn't wanna slut shame them.

  Rosa Diaz : Yeah, sorry you're not more sex positive, Terry.

• Terry Jeffords : I can't play favorites. You never did when you were in charge.

  Raymond Holt : Of course I did.

  Terry Jeffords : Really? I never got any special treatment.

  Raymond Holt : I think you can do the math there.

• Raymond Holt : I'm off to walk my beat again, much like Sisyphus, condemned to push the same boulder up the same hill day in and day out.

  Terry Jeffords : You know, according to French philosopher Albert Camus, Sisyphus achieved happiness in that absurd repetition.

  Raymond Holt : Any French philosophy post-Rousseau is essentially a magazine.

• Raymond Holt : Lieutenant, as you know, I've been walking the same beat for the past three weeks. It's become a bit tedious.

  Terry Jeffords : I thought you loved tedium.

  Raymond Holt : I love monotony. They're very different.

• Terry Jeffords : Think of it this way: It's like doing reps at a gym. Doing something over and over again is how you make your pecs pop.

  Raymond Holt : The only muscle I care to work out is my brain.

  Terry Jeffords : Then get those reps in and make that brain pop.

  [Starts flexing his pecs] 

  Terry Jeffords : Pop, pop. Pop, pop, pop.

  Raymond Holt : What you're describing is an aneurism.

• Terry Jeffords : I called my friend at the lab. He's gonna take the guinea pigs. They're not gonna do any chemical tests on them. They're just gonna teach them how to run mazes.

  Charles Boyle : Really? I want you to look Claire 38 in the eye, and tell her that...

  Terry Jeffords : [Without hesitation]  I'm sending you to a lab, Claire. Bye.
