  • Det. Lydia Adams: So we *can* get overtime to work homicide cases, but now suddenly there's money to fund Bel-Air break-ins.
  • Det. Alicia Fernandez: The residents here don't feel safe.
  • Det. Lydia Adams: And the residents in South Central don't either.
  • Det. Alicia Fernandez: But these residents don't just bitch; they invite the chief of police over for cocktails.
  • Det. Lydia Adams: [after Fernandez has walked away] How convenient, to have money.
  • Det. Russell Clarke: [looking into a jewelry case] 'Scuse me - how much does somethin' like this go for?

  • Det. Russell Clarke: [deflated by the price] No, just curious.
  • Det. Lydia Adams: So how many employees do you have?
  • Lana Schmidt: Uh, mostly it's just me. I have two sales associates and a setter.
  • Det. Russell Clarke: Do they have access to your customer database?
  • Lana Schmidt: Honey, it's the information age; *everyone* has access to *everything*.
  • Det. Lydia Adams: What's goin' on?
  • Talib: Lydia, I don't... I don't think this is gonna work. Hey, look, I've been wrestlin' with this. You know, even goin' to see my pastor, and... I tried, I just can't get past the fact that, you know, that you lied. You know, that you lied about bein' a cop.
  • Det. Lydia Adams: Are you serious?
  • Talib: Yeah, I mean... I mean, how can you start a relationship... based on a lie?
  • Det. Lydia Adams: Well, you knew that before we slept together. Did you tell your pastor *that*?
