Chicago Justice Quotes
Valdez: You worked out a deal with a murderer?
Stone: I did it for the other families. Not knowing whether their daughters were alive or dead... it ground them down.
Valdez: Did it help?
Stone: Losing a child? I doubt a real funeral even helps.
Valdez: We got DNA back on Julia Keyes.
Stone: Tell Dawson and Negel.
Valdez: They thought you'd want to know.
Stone: Why?
Valdez: We got two sets of DNA. One came back as Julia Keyes. The other came back as someone named David Zacariah.
Stone: That's impossible. David Zacariah was my first high profile case. He was a serial killer I put away.
Laura: You know, the whole time I was pregnant, it never really registered that I was going to end up with a baby.
Antonio: Yeah, me and the nightmare always thought we had more time to get ready.
Laura: Every morning, I'd eat at Norma's, read the paper. It got so I was out to here but I still got a table for one. About 8 1/2 months in, it finally registered. The thing I thought was never going to happen was happening. Things were about to -
Antonio: Get crazy?
Laura: I was gonna need a bigger table.
Laura: The woman who rented the locker -
Valdez: Wait, we don't know that it was a woman.
Laura: Call me heteronormative, but statistically, this is a woman's crime.
Antonio: Name given was Nicky Neele.
Laura: That sounds real.
Antonio: About as real as the address. There is no 721 Broad Street, and he paid cash up front for five years.
Jeffries: Why? Why did he kill Cody?
Stone: You know, motive is not one of the elements of murder.
Jeffries: You ever thought maybe he beat you on the arson case cause he told a better story?
Beckett: You know what I think? I think this is it for you. Day after day putting away the bad guys. But one of these days you're gonna wake up in the morning, brush your teeth, shave, look in the mirror... and realize you're the one in the cage.
Stone: But here I am.
Jeffries: You're grinning like a twice-shot fox.
Peter: What does that mean?
Jeffries: Dunno, but my ma used to say it right before she smacked the smile off my face.
Peter: My dad, he was a big ADA back East. He tried to make it to all my games when his trial schedule allowed. Senior year, we made it to the finals. He canceled everything, made it to all my games. Sat in the same seat every time. It's the bottom of the sixth, I'm on the mound, I look up and his seat is empty. I didn't hear from him for three days.
Valdez: He didn't call?
Peter: I didn't TAKE his calls. Screw him, right? So finally, he comes home. It turns out he caught a homicide. Ten-year-old girl. He said to me, 'Someday you're going to meet someone who's lost the most important thing to them, and when you do, if you don't do something to ease the pain, what good are you?'
Laura: I wonder if there's a bar around here.
Dawson: I could sure use one.
Laura: Not for us. The alcohol in Cody's blood... he didn't have a mini-bar in his room.
Beckett: Detective Dawson.
Dawson: SA Investigator now.
Beckett: I know we have a relationship, but if you're looking for retail you're gonna have to go to the shop.
Laura: Can you tell me what's in your freezer?
Cop: What is this, Jeopardy?
Dawson: Just answer the question.
Cop: A couple of brats, some mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Laura: No cash?
Cop: Cash?
Laura: Your partner -
Cop: Former partner.
Laura: Cody had almost 40 grand in his freezer.
Cop: You want to go looking through my underwear drawer, go ahead. I got nothing to hide. If Cody was into something, I didn't know about it.
Laura: When was the last time you saw him?
Cop: The last time I said hello was about two weeks ago. Dying guys give me the willies. Have a good day.
