Best Homicide Quote?
Adam Tracy
of the episodes. The first episode of Homicide that I ever saw in 1994 when I
was 16 was "All Through the House" and from there I was hooked. It was unlike
any show that I have ever seen before. The characters were different, real,
human, and acted like people would act when they have to stare over dead bodies
and inform people that their loved ones have been slaughtered. In essence,
they had as sarcastic and cynical view of the world as I did. I have always
been sort of a misanthrope. But Homicide taught me that life is worth
respecting, and that it is worth having someone "speak for those who can no
longer speak for themselves."
So, what is your favorite line from Homicide? I have two, Lewis from "Goone
for Good" saying, "If I could find this damn thing I could go home" and Frank
uttering that brilliant piece of wisdom to Bayliss about the purpose of the
Homicide detective.

Too many. The cream of the crop:
"You go when you're supposed to go, and everything else is
homicide." -- Det. Meldrick Lewis
"It's hard to meet single women on this job. You meet plenty of
widows, but the timing just don't seem right."
-- Det. Stan Bolander
"Heart has nothing to do with it anymore. It's all in the
caffeine." -- Det. Frank Pembleton
"From the tracks on his arms, the large caliber wound, the proximity
to a heroin market -- I'd say it was a heated dispute about the
symbolism of red and blue in eighteenth century French romantic
poetry." -- Det. John Munch
"Girls, girls, you're both pretty."
-- Detective John Munch to two arguing male detectives
"All we need is a couple of facts. We already know the truth."
-- Giardello
"I think we've reached the innermost circle of the semantic hell."
-- Det. John Munch
"Where is it written a man can't try something new every now
and again?" -- Det. Meldrick Lewis
"I hear your little sighs every time I genuflect at a stop sign."
-- Det. Meldrick Lewis
"Iced tea keeps me in a summertime frame of mind."
-- Det. Meldrick Lewis
"New rule. If we have a suspect in custody, it's murder, and if the
suspect is unknown, it's the worst case of suicide I've ever seen."
-- Det. Meldrick Lewis
"I ain't here to make life a la carte for you."
-- Det. Meldrick Lewis
"What are you afraid of? I'm going to chain you to the bedpost and
cover you with butter?" -- Det. Kay Howard

I don't think I'm repeating too many of the others already posted:
Crosetti: Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict
overdue policy.
Felton: You have the right to remain silent; although personally, I
don't feel remaining silent's all it's cracked up to be... Smoke?
Kellerman: There's no absolutes in life; only in vodka.
Pembleton: He who loses control, loses.
Crosetti: Got any toilet paper?
Lewis: Nope.
Crosetti: Got five ones for a five?
Bolander: It's hard to meet single woman on this job. You meet plenty
of widows, but the timing just don't seem right.
Pembleton: You know, sometimes you're funny. Then there's now.
Lewis: You know, you live in your own little world cause don't nobody
wanna live there with you.
Munch: We're gonna neutron this little bastard!
Munch: You're saving your really good lies for some smarter cop, is
that it? I'm just a donut in the on-deck circle. Wait until the real
guy gets here. Wait until that big guy comes back. I'm probably just
his secretary. I'm just Montel Williams. You want to talk to Larry
King.
Bayliss: That silly man and his silly cookies.
Kellerman: Any advice?
Lewis: Yeah, he tends to spit when he yells. Just step back
Bolander: You think the old partner's a few bricks shy of a load, huh?
Munch: Stan, you're a load. Trust me.
Scheiner: I hate when that happens!

not that easy sheepshaver. Meldrick was very quotable. his language
stylings probly aid there. Lockeness is just as likely to have any other
char as his fave.

I've always been fond of the following exchanges:
Munch: Who lobbies for nothing?
Bayliss: You do, Munch. Every day, in every way, you lobby for nothing.

It's satisfying to go back through the series and find references which
resonate against each other, picking up themes and motifs and phrases much
later on. The above scene is a case in point; Bayliss' first scene in season 7
("Life is an illusion") ends with Munch saying, "If I were you, I'd say nothing
[to the bosses]" and Bayliss replying, "Nothing's more real than nothing."

And I loved how you incorporated that last reply of Bayliss's into one
of your beautiful sewing projects. It was way cool. :)
