Jill Hennessy in Crossing Jordan (2001)

Quotes

Crossing Jordan

Edit
  • Woody: Stay in the car.
  • Jordan: What exactly in our past makes you think I'll do that?
  • Woody: What do we got?
  • Garrett: Well, since they called for a medical examiner and homicide detective, my guess is a body.
  • Woody: Is sarcasm a prerequisite for being an ME?
  • Garrett: It helps.
  • Max: Tough age seventeen. They're right on the brink of being able to tell you to shove it and they know it.
  • Macy: That's right. Jordan must have been a handful at that age.
  • Max: With Jordan this stage started at eleven.
  • Macy: And when did it end?
  • Max: I'm still waiting.
  • Macy: Jordan, next time you're called for jury duty let your shrink know. I'm sure there's a reason you should be excused.
  • Jordan: Wow. Did you mean to call me a nut job or are you just crabby?
  • Jordan: He's lucky I didn't kick him in the nuts. What? It wouldn't be the first time.
  • Nigel: Oh, Carpet Salesman of the Year 1989.
  • Bug: Is there anything sadder than being Carpet Salesman of the Year?
  • Nigel: How about still carrying the card in your wallet sixteen years later?
  • Woody: Any way to tell her age from the autopsy?
  • Bug: Sure, I'll just cut her open and count the rings.
  • Woody: You could have simply said no.
  • Cal Hoyt: [on meeting Jordan for the first time] So, why won't you have sex with my brother?
  • [when asked why he became an ME]
  • Bug: I wanted to be a children doctor but little kids hated me.
  • Det. Winslow: You looked good holding that baby, maybe you should think about popping one out.
  • Jordan: Yeah, or maybe I should pop my foot up your ass.
  • Elaine: [talking about Jordan] Garret, I'm serious. She is impossible to work with.
  • Macy: Here's a tip. It's easier if you don't listen when she talks.
  • Dr. Nigel Townsend: So if I killed my husband, where would I stash the body?
  • Jordan: If you killed your husband you'd have to start in the closet.
  • Woody: [Woody begins to undress and change his clothes]
  • Bug: You obviously didn't make it to the sexual harassment seminar.
  • Woody: Sure I did. That's why I didn't ask if you wanted to wrestle.
  • Jordan: [to Macy] You're my bestest girlfriend.
  • Macy: Why would you want to have sex six times in one day? I mean, come on, we're people not Bunnies.
  • Lily: Dr.Macy said Bunnies.
  • Jordan: I have so much energy.
  • Macy: Yeah, I can tell. Read your autopsy report. 12 pages to tell us she was hit in the back of the head with an unidentifiable object.
  • Dr. Trey Sanders: How do you know all this, Nigel?
  • Dr. Nigel Townsend: Insomnia and the History Channel. It's a lethal combination.
  • Det. Cruz: You and I are on the same street, you know. Just different sides.
  • Jordan: That doesn't make us pals. So far - not a big fan.
  • Det. Cruz: Don't worry. I grow on people.
  • Jordan: So does fungus.
  • Jordan: I had this guy's brain in my hand, so I couldn't very well punch him, right?
  • Jordan: Traffic control command center has cameras all over the city, right?
  • Detective Carver: Most of the sections, yeah.
  • Jordan: I know 'cause I keep getting sent pictures of myself running red lights.
  • Jordan: You're not really going to put me on that leash are you?
  • Macy: You'd just chew through it.
  • Jordan: Is this the part where I'm supposed to apologize too?
  • Garrett: Didn't want to ask the impossible.
  • Jordan: Hey, you think the gift shop sells mittens?
  • Macy: I thought you were done complaining.
  • Jordan: As soon as I'm done freezing!
  • Woody: Looks like man vs. city bus. You can guess the outcome.
  • Woody: I'd appreciate if you handle this with a little bit of sensitivity. I don't know if you know this or not, but I'm up for a promotion this year. So if word got out...
  • Nigel: Woody, Woody, Woody... I promise that I will keep an open mind, okay? And anyway sensitivity is my middle name.
  • [opens the door]
  • Nigel: [shouts] Sweet Mary in the manger!
  • Woody: The last four times Burnham met him was at some Goth club named Asmanties.
  • Garrett: Goth club huh? Let Nigel do all the talking.
  • Lily: Have you ever done anything too wild in your past that's hurt you professionally?
  • Nigel: Well, there was that one thing with the sword swallower and the bubble bath.
  • [pause]
  • Nigel: Never mind.
  • Nigel: Look, I don't know how much you know about Jordan, but-...
  • Jordan: She's an enormous pain in the ass.
  • Woody: [about a suspected serial killer she wants to inspect for evidence] Jordan, he's a psychopath!
  • Jordan: [sarcastically] And I'm not?
  • Dr. Nigel Townsend: I paid seven homeless people to go dumpster diving for me.
  • Macy: Who's money did you use?
  • Dr. Nigel Townsend: Yours.
  • [Jordan is banging computer keys in frustration]
  • Dr. Nigel Townsend: Please evacuate the keyboard area.
  • Jordan: [to Garret] It's like you always tell me. The dead bodies are easy. It's the alive ones that get more complicated.
  • Bug: You might want to tread lightly, Lily.
  • Lily: I tried that. Now I'm strapping on the stilettos.
  • Jordan: Garret, have you gotten any recently?
  • Macy: Pardon me?
  • Jordan: You heard me. How long has it been?
  • Macy: We are not having this conversation.
  • Woody: The nun had a baby? How could that be?
  • Jordan: She's a woman first, nun second.
  • Bug: Remember, heavy object, odd design.
  • Woody: Thanks. That really narrows things down.
  • Bug: [mutters] Just trying to help.
  • Dr. Nigel Townsend: How big would you like it?
  • [Maguire gives him a look]
  • Dr. Nigel Townsend: I meant the picture.
  • Woody: I have been meaning to ask you why do they call you Bug?
  • Bug: Because I like insects. Why do they call you Woody?
  • Woody: Why are you here again?
  • [a woman is running a brothel under the disguise of a modeling agency]
  • Madam: You know, we're starting a men's division, Detective Hoyt. In case you're ever interested in making some extra cash...
  • Woody: I'll keep that in mind.
  • Bug: What about me?
  • Bug: [Bug is having technical difficulties]
  • Woody: You know, I could always go get Nigel.
  • Bug: If you love Nigel so much, why don't you marry him?
  • Woody: We can actually do that now in Vermont.
  • Lily: You have the sensitivity of a lizard.
  • Arlene Lebowski: You're not getting any younger.
  • Lily: Oh, so I should be you? Jump anything with a pulse and a penis?
  • Dr. Nigel Townsend: Jordan, you should know that last night will never happen again.
  • Jordan: Oh God, what are we talking about here?
  • Dr. Nigel Townsend: My new image in the workplace. No more Nigel-the-computer-jockey. Okay, I was swept up in the moment, but now it's truly done.
  • Jordan: Look... You guys get along. I need you to talk to him.
  • Woody: He pulled a gun on me!
  • Jordan: That's bonding for him. He feels comfortable with you.
  • Woody: He said he was going to shoot me!
  • Jordan: You see... You guys are closer than I thought.
  • Dr. Peter Winslow: So... We're looking for a missing girl and a guy who doesn't exist. Hmmm... That's challenging.
  • Lily: Tell me about it!
  • Macy: I really don't like you.
  • DA Rene Walcott: Right back at you.
  • Macy: I mean not at all.
  • DA Rene Walcott: I get it. Just kiss me.
  • [looking for the victim's husband]
  • Landlord: Maybe he's at work.
  • Woody: His wife never came home last night. Would you go to work the next morning?
  • Landlord: Yeah, but you haven't met my husband.
  • [Lily has just bought a sandwich]
  • Garrett: Tofurkey?
  • Lily: Yeah. Fake turkey. Want some?
  • Garrett: I'd rather eat sand.
  • Woody: I have moral issues shooting live animals. I don't care if it is wabbit hunting season.
  • Cal Hoyt: But you shoot people.
  • Woody: I shoot bad people.
  • Cal Hoyt: Well, there's bad wabbit.
  • Nigel: Uh, we've got good news and bad news.
  • Bug: Give her the bad news first. She's a pessimist.
