- Caolán Longstreet: You got plans for the Equinox?
- John Bosson: Depends. Is Susan cooking?
- Caolán Longstreet: Yes.

- Detective Sergeant Mira Barkley: You're the hot new prospect. I was thinking DCI Blanks wanted me to feel unprofessional if I didn't teach you to wipe your ass in the rain. But he'll come to his senses eventually and I'm thinking you'll have a new partner by the end of the week. Questions?

- Judge Ball: I really thought they could start over. I thought he could let go of the... bitterness and rage.
- Wilder Blanks: There is no spell to change the human heart.
