Quotes 

• Nick Baleman : [admiring Rossi's shoes]  Do you wear an "E"?

  David Rossi : Why don't I boot you in the ass, and you can tell me?

• David Rossi : I hear you have a big decision to make.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Yeah. One of the biggest of my life.

  David Rossi : Once a year, on my birthday, I go visit this killer in prison. His idea, not mine, believe me. He's the only one who knows where the bodies are buried. He gives me a name, and I give a family some peace and closure. But every time I sit across from him, treating him like a human being, it takes something out of me. You can do something I can't do. I think that's why the brass tapped you for this project.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : It takes something out of me, too. The scary thing is, sometimes I don't even notice it till long after it's gone.

  David Rossi : You know, this job ain't all milk and honey. Some days, you lose. Some days, you do things you don't want to do. So ask yourself this. Where can you do the most good and still do yourself the least harm? Then make your decision.
