Quotes
Patricia Andrews: So basically the bastard rapes me and you waste time. That’s the procedure?
Detective John Munch: Ma’am…
Patricia Andrews: Look here, Officer…
Detective John Munch: Detective Munch. Perhaps you’d be more comfortable with a female detective.
Patricia Andrews: I’d be happy to talk to anyone with a brain.
John Munch: There are five stages of grief. Try not to go through them all at once.
Patricia Andrews: A chokehold is not foreplay for me, Detective.
Detective John Munch: And a pot to the head turns him on?
Detective John Munch: My soon-to-be ex calls me often with requests for money and updates on the status of our uncoupling.
Patricia Andrews: You hate her.
Detective John Munch: That would make it too easy. We’re not together anymore, but we still fight. Only now, I’m not there for the tantrums.
Patricia Andrews: So you bust my chops because I remind you of her.
Detective John Munch: No, I just don’t like you.
Detective John Munch: (to Patricia about her husband) He admits it and you respond by trying to recant. That’s not love, that’s psycho.
Patricia Andrews: Think whatever you want. I’m not crazy enough to lose my husband just ’cause you want to believe me now.
