Quotes 

• Hank Griffin : You still gonna sleep like a baby tonight?

  Sergeant Wu : Yup.

  [holds up machete] 

  Sergeant Wu : I'm sleeping with this.

• Nick Burkhardt : Both he and Ralph have records, mostly of the yahoo type: DUIs, criminal trespass, hunting without a license, waste of deer and elk.

  Hank Griffin : So, not your run-of-the-mill tree huggers.

• Sergeant Wu : But there's something that garnered my attention. Usually people that go missing in the wild are hikers, mountain bikers, joggers, but these were not. Their vehicles were found abandoned: no suicide notes, no arguments with spouses, nothing. Just parked vehicles in the woods.

  Hank Griffin : Sounds like a classic alien abduction.

  Sergeant Wu : Haven't gone there yet, but I'm open.

• Hank Griffin : You know anything about a kenoshimobe?

  Monroe : Uh huh.

  Rosalee Calvert : Japanese?

  Hank Griffin : Yeah. It matches Ralph's description.

  Nick Burkhardt : Looks like something that could bleed chlorophyll.

  Hank Griffin : [reading from Grimm journal]  There was insufficient information of the kenoshimobe, considering these observations of Emi Ando Araki are unreliable and opium-addled. His findings detail the elusive solitary beings, and though other recorded accounts are exiguous...

  Monroe : That's one of my favorite words.

  Hank Griffin : ...there is a testimony regarding its human form, if indeed it has one. And those captured are never seen again, lost to the boscage... boscage, anyone?

  Nick Burkhardt : Not a clue.

  Monroe : Has to do with a lot of trees.

  Rosalee Calvert : It's like a grove or a thicket.

  Hank Griffin : ...lost to the boscage for eternity.

  Rosalee Calvert : So the bodies are never found.

  Monroe : Maybe he does eat them. Or feeds them to his furry forest friends.

• Rosalee Calvert : So if it is a kenoshimobe, or a curupira, or whatever, and it's killing someone that's destroying where it lives, I mean, isn't there a law that allows you to defend your home?

  Hank Griffin : Yes, but the circumstances of the defense are always taken into consideration.

  Monroe : No, she's right! What if it's like a deep biological drive? That would be like blaming a spider for killing a fly - not that the web is a home, I'm just saying we're in a moral green area, if you will.

• Nick Burkhardt : So... we've done all we can.

  Hank Griffin , Sergeant Wu , Rosalee Calvert , Monroe : Yeah. yeah.

  [Everyone leaves in a hurry; glad to be done with THAT weirdness]
