Quotes 

• Captain Sharon Raydor : I would also like to say that I'm fully aware that at the beginning of this investigation I was a terrible bitch.

  Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson : I'd... say it was more in the middle, a-and near the end.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : But I still believe that if you had talked the husband earlier, that he might...

  Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson : He might still be alive. Yes, I thought about that. And about how I might have resisted talking to him, because...

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Because I suggested it.

  Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson : It's possible. Um, but um, I did want to say that, uh... I-I do think it might be beneficial for the LAPD if we...

  Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson : [overlapping Sharon]  ... were to work a bit better together.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : [overlapping Brenda]  If you'd just do as I say.

  [both laugh nervously] 

  Captain Sharon Raydor : The thing is...

  Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson : We just don't like each other.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : No. We don't. Oh, my goodness, no.

  Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson : No, we don't.

• Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson : All right, then, um, so I should talk to her.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Um, before you do, I'm trying to avoid creating problems, and if I'm... if I'm overreacting to what I saw, and if I'm wrong about this...

  Assistant Chief Will Pope : But if you're right, then this is an assault on one of our employees, which cannot to be ignored, and which Captain Raydor should not investigate on her own; so, I would like Major Crimes to discretely examine the life of Detective Moore and report back to me.

  Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson : I-I-I can't start a criminal investigation unless she files a complaint of some kind.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : I was hoping, Chief, that maybe you would be able to see past the obstacles in this particular situation.

  Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson : The obstacles that you're talkin' about are the justice system and I can't create charges out of thin air. I need an evidence.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Of course, you do, but you can easily do an oblique interview with that husband.

  Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson : Uh, I'm sorry, who-who's in charge of this investigation?

  Assistant Chief Will Pope : You are. Captain Raydor, I promise you that Chief Johnson will pursue this inquiry vigorously, but let's leave to her the when and where she will approach the husband.

  Assistant Chief Will Pope : [to Johnson]  In the meantime, we will tread VERY LIGHTLY here. Is that clear?

  Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson : Of course. Um, if we're going to do this by the book, I should start by getting a statement from Detective Moore's immediate superior officer.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : I figured you'd ask that so I prepared one.
