Episode Quotes

Detective Mac Taylor: I know what you're going to say. It's not the way it looks. I'm fine.
Jo Danville: It's exactly the way it looks. That's the same suit you had on yesterday, if not the day before. You haven't even been home in two days.
Detective Mac Taylor: This isn't the first time one case has rolled over into another. I'll be fine.
Jo Danville: When's the last time you had something to eat? I don't want to hear about that trail mix from the vending machine last night.
Detective Mac Taylor: It was a granola bar.
Jo Danville: You promised me you were going to go home and get some sleep.
Detective Mac Taylor: I was working on some cases, I dozed off on the couch. Then this came in.
Jo Danville: Boss of the crime lab or not, you are no good to anyone if you're running on fumes.
Detective Mac Taylor: Look, I am not walking out of a homicide investigation.
Jo Danville: [waving at Flack] No, Don is driving you out.
Detective Don Flack: [approaching] Yo.
Jo Danville: It's all been arranged. You're going to go home and get a couple hours' sleep. And if you're lucky, a toothbrush and a shower might make it feel like eight.
Detective Mac Taylor: Don can't just leave.
Detective Don Flack: Sure I can. I'm on my way back to the precinct, anyway. Your place is on the way.
Detective Mac Taylor: Sid will be expecting me in Autopsy.
Jo Danville: It's covered. Your work is done here, Mac Taylor. Don's gonna take you to that diner you love for breakfast, and then take you home and tuck you in.
Detective Mac Taylor: Will he be giving me milk and cookies and singing a lullaby?
Detective Don Flack: The lullaby thing's a little weird. But milk and cookies could happen.
Detective Mac Taylor: Sometimes evil finds you on the road you take to avoid it.
Dr. Sheldon Hawkes: That's pretty impressive you got Mac to go home. He's not used to being told what to do.
Jo Danville: No, he's not.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (continuity error): When Mac and Flack are in the diner just after meeting Raymond Harris, Mac's shield changes from his right hip beside his gun, to his left hip as they leave the diner.
  • Goof (factual errors): In the diner, when Flack cites the common belief that one human year equals seven dog years, he is repeating a misconception. The rate at which dogs age varies by breed (larger dogs age faster) and a year-old dog is the equivalent of a human of 12-15 years and capable of breeding. Small dogs like terriers and chihuahuas are considered elderly at around age 11, medium-sized breeds at 10, large dogs, such as Labradors, at 8, and very large dogs like Newfoundlands and Danes at 7. For a medium-sized house dog which dies of natural causes, the average ratio of aging to humans over the animal's lifetime actually works out to be more like 5:1.
  • Goof (factual errors): Dr. Sheldon Hawkes is shown collecting evidence from under the victims fingernails at the crime scene. He should have bagged the hands and collected this evidence at the lab. Because if there had been any kind of breeze at the crime scene, the evidence would have easily been blown off of the paper he was collecting the evidence on.
