- Det. John Munch: It's like this dream I had when I was a kid: first day of school, wandering around the halls, looking for the right classroom. People are staring at me, and this girl I had a crush on - Helen Rosenbaum - she's laughing and pointing at me, and I realized I didn't get dressed. I'm buck naked. All I have on is my shoes and socks.
- Det. Meldrick Lewis: Black socks?
- Det. John Munch: Argyle.
- Det. Meldrick Lewis: I had that dream.
- Det. John Munch: Everybody has that dream. It's the human condition in a nutshell.
- Det. John Munch: Bayliss, don't give me any zen song and dance about how money is an illusion, taxes are an illusion, the IRS is an illusion.
- Det. Tim Bayliss: On the contrary, John, money is Mara, the Destroyer, the Evil One.
- Det. John Munch: You haven't experienced the Giardello summons, yet? The full force laser beam G-ray: strips varnish off furniture, enamel off teeth?
- Agent Mike Giardello: Her husband's in the hospital, recovering from a gunshot wound, and she's busy casting blame in his direction. Sound like a superb marriage to you?
- Det. Meldrick Lewis: Sounds about average to me.
- Det. John Munch: The Zapruder film's out on VHS and DVD, as if there's a choice.
- Billie Lou Hatfield: DVD, definitely. Gotta have that freeze frame, stop action, enhancement capability.
- Det. John Munch: One night after work, we should open a bottle of zinfandel and watch the Zapruder film frame by frame and see which ones are missing.
- Billie Lou Hatfield: Twenty-six seconds of the most compelling footage ever filmed.
- Det. John Munch: The woman of my dreams.
- Agent Mike Giardello: [to Ballard about the desirous way she's looking at Falsone] Girl, that expression on your face is illegal in some states.
