Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsWhile the FBI would work with the LAPD on such a case, but a case involving a diplomat as this would definitely have the State Dept and its Diplomatic Security Services be involved as well. All law enforcement agencies have a 24 hour hotline to the State Department for any issues involving diplomats exactly for situations like this.
- Quotes
Julio Sanchez: Oh, hey, Sykes, I forgot. Cooper stopped by earlier and said he was gonna be late to dinner.
Amy Sykes: I'm not going to dinner with Lt. Cooper.
Andy Flynn: I'm surprised you guys ever came back from surveillance.
Buzz Watson: You're dating Cooper?
Rusty Beck: People don't know that yet?
Amy Sykes: There is nothing to know.
Mike Tao: Oh, let the girl be happy.
Louie Provenza: Or, as happy as anyone can be in a relationship. Good night, everybody. I hope to see none of you before morning.
Rusty Beck: Well, uh, but, actually, could you wait just a second? I wanted to ask all of you a question. Would it bother any of you, or... w-would any of you think differently about me if I... if I said... if I said I was gay?
Mike Tao: Oh, you're gay?
Buzz Watson: We did not know that.
Andy Flynn: I think after we get past the initial shock...
[Julio snorts]
Louie Provenza: Julio, this is serious. The answer is, if you told us you were gay, we'd think that you trusted us more, and then we would trust YOU more. Did you hear that, Sykes?
Amy Sykes: Oh, my God. I'm dating Lieutenant Cooper. There, are you happy?
Andy Flynn: I knew it!
Mike Tao: Ha-ha-ha. Pay up, Buzz.
Buzz Watson: Give me a second.
Louie Provenza: Sykes, you do know that you have to inform the captain?
Amy Sykes: I did, which is how you knew.
Rusty Beck: No. No, no, no. I knew because I saw the two of you outside of SOB. I was heading in for therapy appointment with Dr. Joe, and you were dropping Lieutenant Cooper off... out front.
Amy Sykes: You didn't say anything.
Rusty Beck: Well, you guys were making out. What was I supposed to say?
[all laughing]
If they were to make an episode about "Oooh, these Indians have regressive arranged marriages, let us make an episode on that" - then randomly picking arbitrary Indian names for the characters, with no research at all about either Indian people or arranged marriages is not the way to do it.
First off, a "Madhavan" would never have an "arranged" marriage with a Sethi. Second, a Madhavan, being Tamil / Malayali, is extremely unlikely to pay a dowry, least of all to a Sethi - who is Punjabi.
Third, is might be a surprise to the show's American writers, but Indians too, like you, don't tend to get married off at 18 - least of all Diplomats' daughters.
As an Indian, I found this episode sanctimonious rubbish. I understand that it was made for a progressive American audience, to reinforce their progressiveness and make the said audience feel good about themselves. Unfortunately, the show's producers seem to have forgotten that they distribute this over Indian cable channels / streaming services.
