- Detective Les Zoeller: Chief said this was a doubleheader.
- Detective Tom Linehan: Jose and Kitty Menendez. Neighbors heard pops around 10. The sons, Lyle and Erik, came home, found the gate open and the alarm off.
- Detective Les Zoeller: Where are the sons now?
- Detective Tom Linehan: Sarge brought them to the station.
- Detective Les Zoeller: Did you run the plates on these yachts?
- Detective Tom Linehan: The Alpha's Lyle's. This Mercedes is registered to Mr. Menendez. The other is loaner while his wife's Rolls is being serviced.
- Detective Les Zoeller: [scoffing] Mercedes loaner. My wife takes the car in for service, she gets a bus ticket.
- Leslie Abramson: Laine is thrilled with the idea of having a little sister.
- Tim Rutten: Or brother. She doesn't think we're too old to be changing diapers?
- Leslie Abramson: No. Why? Do you?
- Tim Rutten: I signed on to this job twelve years ago for better or worse. I can stand a few poopy diapers.
- Detective Les Zoeller: Hey, Tom, check this out. It was broken in the night of, but with the front door open, there'd be a draft. Hey, Sergeant?
- Sgt. Edmonds: Yeah.
- Detective Les Zoeller: When you interviewed Erik Menendez, he said something about gun smoke?
- Sgt. Edmonds: Yeah, he saw and smelled gun smoke when he and his brother came home.
- Detective Tom Linehan: Two hours after the shooting? Gun smoke would have dissipated by then.
- Detective Les Zoeller: Especially with a draft. When they brought those boys back to the station, you do a GSR on them?
- Sgt. Edmonds: Well, nah, I mean, they were so broken up. Yeah.
- Detective Les Zoeller: [Edmonds leaves] So you give 'em a pass. The rich kid's get out of jail pass.
- Taryn: I was in high school when Sharon Tate was killed, but this is more shocking. I mean, Beverly Hills, five blocks away from Rodeo.
- Bill: Goes to show, all the money in the world, you're only as safe as the lock on your front door.
- Leslie Abramson: What makes you think it wasn't an inside job?
- Gerald Chaleff: What would make you think it was?
- Leslie Abramson: Oh, fifteen shots from a shotgun. Those poor people were blown to bits; point-blank to the face, back of the head. That is captial "A" anger, and there's only one thing that can generate that level of anger: family.
