Quotes
-
Sarah : [chuckles] Hmm. Do you suppose Billie Holiday knows that every hour of the day, every day of the week, someone, somewhere is making love to one of her songs?
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : You like Billie Holiday?
Sarah : [chuckles] Is there an alternative?
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : [shakes his head] Man... "She's got style, she's got brains, she's got legs that go all the way to the ground..."
[sighs]

Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : [scoffs] Women! You're so easy! A couple of dimples and a smile and you're silly putty.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Oh, yeah, just one quick shoulder rub and then we just roll right over.

Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Okay, I give up. Why do women go for younger men?
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Well, why do men go for younger women?
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Men don't always go for younger women.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Oh, no? Check out the Riviera country club. You find me one CEO that hasn't traded in a forty-year-old for two twenties. It looks like a father/daughter luncheon in there.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : It's called the biological imperative. Men are programmed to plant the seed in fertile ground.
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Is that it? Because I thought it was just that they didn't wanna make conversation.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : [chuckles] Cassy, I'm serious. We're talking about a thirty-something-year old woman and an eighteen-year-old boy. What is it, a stamina thing, or what?
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : [smiles] Don't go there.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Come on, what could she possibly have to say to him?
Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : [chuckles] Ooh, baby, ooh, baby, ooh...!

Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Waiter... Can we get a wine list, please?
[to his date:]
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : So you wanna help me kill a bottle of Merlot?
Sarah : Oh, no, thanks.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Oh, come on, I get... trashed if I go it alone.
Sarah : Really, no...
[chuckles, shakes her head]
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : Oh, you don't drink?
Sarah : Uh, well, it's not so much that I don't drink. It's more that I can't.
Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : I never even thought about that. Is it about religious issues...? You're not in a twelve-step program, are you? If you're in a twelve... I can respect that.
Sarah : It's not that. I'm only nineteen.
