Lt. Abbie Mills : Mr. Crane, I'm Lieutenant Abbie Mills.

Ichabod Crane : You've been emancipated, I take it?
Lt. Abbie Mills : Excuse me?
Ichabod Crane : From enslavement.
Lt. Abbie Mills : Okay. I'll play along here. I am a black female lieutenant for the Westchester County Police Department. Do you see this gun? I'm authorized to use it. On you.
Ichabod Crane : If you're insinuating I endorse slavery, I'm offended.
Lt. Abbie Mills : Wait, back up. You're offended?

Ichabod Crane : Are you quite finished? Because most of what you say is unintelligible gibberish to me. It's like watching a chicken cluck. And when did it become acceptable for ladies to wear trousers?
-
Ichabod Crane : Here I thought I'd actually awoken in the future and that my wife had been dead for 250 years. I'm glad that everything I'm seeing and hearing and touching is impossible, because that means it isn't actually happening.

Sheriff August Corbin : Unsolved homicide in Dobb's Ferry. Might be able to help the IO run a few leads. But you don't need to worry about that. Now that you're leaving and all.
Lt. Abbie Mills : You know, some people, when they read the paper, they relax. They're off the clock.
Sheriff August Corbin : My clock has its own schedule
