Season 1 Quotes

01x12 - Fatal Retraction Season 1 / Episode 12: - Fatal Retraction

Det. Andy Flynn: And when she disappeared, we all thought she'd committed suicide.
Brenda Leigh Johnson: Well, I suppose she could have lifted Bill Croelick's stainless steel cigarette lighter, making sure his prints were still on it, made a copy of Lisa Barnes' license, stolen a car, pushed it off a cliff - chopping off her hands and feet while discarding them en route - after setting fire to herself. Maybe she trained for her suicide at the Cirque du Soleil.
01x11 - L.A. Woman Season 1 / Episode 11: - L.A. Woman

FBI Agent Jackson: We're not going to get in anybody's way, trust me.
Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson: I stopped believing boys who said, "Trust me" when I was sixteen.

Season 1 Trivia

  • Episode 03 - Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): At the end when Brenda picks up the cat, we hear the sound of a hiss, but the cat's posture is not a defensive one or showing any adverse reaction to being lifted and handled; in fact, its pose shows submission, not a situation that would elicit a hiss.
  • Episode 11 - Goof (continuity error): When Provenza is "knocked" to the ground by the FBI, his suit pocket badge is on the left. While on the ground and getting up, the badge flips to the right. Later when wearing a sling there is confusion as to which arm he is to wear the sling when having to put it on quick for Fr
  • Episode 08 - Goof (revealing mistake): The kittens Brenda's cat supposedly give birth, and that are seen a day or two after their birth, are clearly not newborns, they're about 4-6 weeks old.
