- Louie Provenza: So, um, right up the street, there is a pretty good steakhouse with a fully stocked bar. I think a decent meal and a good, stiff drink would do us both some good.
- Patrice Perry: Damn it, Lieutenant, I... I have never met anyone in my life who ended up bringing me so much grief, and... and now you're gonna ask me out to dinner?
- Louie Provenza: Unless you have a better offer. You can be miserable here, alone... or miserable with me.
- Patrice Perry: I am gonna look for the most expensive item on the menu, and I'm ordering two of them.
- Louie Provenza: Then I'll have half of yours.
- Rusty Beck: Uh, but we went to Delancy's afterwards, and I'm not sure how the subject came up exactly, but it turns out that Jeff thought I would be nuts to skip college this semester.
- Sharon Raydor: Did he?
- Rusty Beck: Yeah. And he brought up another point that was... kind of obvious, which is, if you really like people... you don't have to stop being friends with them just because you're going to college.
- Sharon Raydor: You know, I think you're right about this Jeff. He does seem insightful.
- Sharon Raydor: Are you at least having a good time?
- Rusty Beck: Yeah. It's... I mean, it's crazy, but the people are nice. And, you know, the second AD, Jeff?
- Sharon Raydor: Mm.
- Rusty Beck: He said that I am the best set PA that he has ever met. He's a... he's a really great guy, Jeff. You'd like him a lot, and he's... he's smart, and he's very funny, and... He's, actually, he's only 25, which is really, really young for an AD. And he also says our hours aren't bad for TV at all.
- Rusty Beck: Uhhh, hey, I was wondering. What would you think if I waited to summer to start college instead of January? Just because "Badge of Justice" shoots till May, and... and they, like, really, really depend on me over there.
- Sharon Raydor: Oh, I'm sure that they do, but I can't imagine anyone on that set would want you to put off college just to lend them a hand.
- Rusty Beck: No, no, actually, actually Jeff says that, sometimes, uh, work experience is better than college because it helps you, like, figure out what you wanna do with your life.
- Sharon Raydor: Ah. Well, I think that it is possible to appreciate Jeff's perspective without giving up on your own.
- Julio Sanchez: You coming back with us, sir?
- Louie Provenza: No. Like I have most of my life - I'm waiting to talk to the girl.
- Sharon Raydor: Mike, can I ask you a question?
- Mike Tao: Sure.
- Sharon Raydor: Do you know an AD on "Badge of Justice" named Jeff? Rusty was...
- Mike Tao: Jeff Barrier. Sure, he's a great guy. Oh, and you'd be happy to know, he really likes Rusty.
- Sharon Raydor: And how much?
- Mike Tao: Hm?
- Sharon Raydor: How much does he really like Rusty?
- Mike Tao: Oh. Um, I don't know. Why?
- Sharon Raydor: Well, because Rusty is suddenly thinking about postponing college because of something that Jeff said.
- Mike Tao: I see.
- Sharon Raydor: I mean, I'm sure there's an easy fix to it without interfering in the friendship, if you could help me.
- Mike Tao: How?
- Julio Sanchez: Well, come on, "No Romeo", time to take it all off.
- Wesley Grant: You don't even understand what "No Romeo" means, do you? Romeo starts off loving this girl named Rosaline, talking about how no one else could ever matter to him, and then the moment he sees Juliet, Rosaline ceases to exist. Well, I'm "No Romeo". Nothing will ever make me stop loving Keisha. That's what "No Romeo" means.
- Louie Provenza: We'll never get there without Patrice's help.
- Sharon Raydor: Patrice.
- Louie Provenza: Or Keisha's grandmother.
- Sharon Raydor: And is she a decent person?
- Louie Provenza: I think so. Yes. Yes, but she's not just going to roll over to help us put Keisha away forever because she has a good heart. Captain, I... I know this woman. I've just spent 24 hours with her, building a trusting relationship.
- Sharon Raydor: And who's been using that trusting relationship, Lieutenant? You or her?
- Sharon Raydor: You made a plan to go to college, and you're sticking to that plan. And it's the bigger plan, really. And keeping the bigger plan in mind when things don't go exactly the way you want... that's what real stability means, Rusty.
- Rusty Beck: You're just glad you got your way again, and that, somehow or other, I always end up doing exactly what you want.
- Sharon Raydor: Oh, well, yes. Ha, ha. That, too.
- Chip Olson: Am I being detained?
- Andy Flynn: No, we're here to order brunch. YES, you're being detained, you moron.
