Quotes:

Det. Lt. Provenza:I like it right there, your picture.
Brenda Leigh Johnson:Lt. Provenza, what're you doin' here, it's late! Why aren't you home?
Det. Lt. Provenza:Course ideally, you'd hang it up right now and put it where it belongs, or pragmatically you might just set it down on the floor. But see, your instinct is to split the difference so that even if it's not perfectly placed, you can still see it.
