Lincoln Heights, Season 1

Charles:
I hit him with a schnitzel.

Cassie Sutton:
With a...?

Charles:
Dinner.

Jenn:
(of Reverend Hammond) That man is a born activist; if there's nothing to protest, he's out of work.

Charles:
Cassie, what I'm trying to say is, I don't wanna be your friend, I want to be more than that. I like you Cassie.

Cassie:
Okay, is this you talking or the beer?

Charles:
I know what I'm saying, and I'm not drunk. (she grins at him) Okay, maybe a little. (she laughs) But I still like you, a lot.

Manolo:
A little bleeding and you cry like a girl? Man, you're N.A.T.O., man - No Action, Talk Only.

Cassie:
She's afraid he'll reject her.

Charles:
He won't. See the way he's looking at her? He's got feelings for her too.

Cassie:
How could she be certain?

Charles:
It's in his eyes. Eventually they'll find the courage to tell each other how they feel.

Cassie:
And their hearts will open like cherry blossoms in the spring. (pauses for a moment) Or, he'll tell her he's gay.

David:
Easy, Eddie, this whole thing has been a huge misunderstanding.

Eddie:
You're damn right it has. You misunderstood when you thought you could mess with me and mine and get away with it!

Eddie:
So are you saying we all should become bad guys?

Mulaney:
Being a good guy hasn't exactly been a growth business.

Eddie:
What do you think?

Det Wilkes:
I think we're looking at a worst case scenario.

Eddie:
Which is?

Det Wilkes:
A guy with nothing left to lose.

Jenn:
You didn't happen to bump into a particular cop, Eddie Sutton?

EMT:
After a while they all start to look alike.

Kevin:
He actually chose the clarinet?

Eddie:
Yes.

Kevin:
Not a trumpet, or a saxophone...

Eddie:
Seriously, I think you should stop right now.

Kevin:
(laughing) I've upset you.

Eddie:
I'm not upset.

Kevin:
Boy of mine comes home, says he wants to play the clarinet, God knows how I'd react.

Eddie:
You actually think I won't shoot you?

Kevin:
Rolling stop about ten years ago, no DUI.

Eddie:
He's not a drunk. What do you say we cut him some slack.

Kevin:
Whatever gets us to lunch on time.

Eddie:
Hey man, check it out.

(A minivan is swerving in the road)

Kevin:
Kinda early in the day to be getting your load on.

Kevin Lund:
So, you wanna check out that new Thai place after watch?

Eddie:
I can't. Tay's recital tonight.

Kevin Lund:
So, eh, the clarinet huh?

Eddie:
Don't start.

Kevin Lund:
I'm just saying...

Eddie:
Well, don't just say.

Eddie:
Hey champ, big night tonight.

Taylor:
You gonna be there?

Eddie:
Wouldn't miss it.

Taylor:
That's what you said the last time.

Eddie:
Hey. I'll be there.

Taylor:
You have to be there by 6:00.

Eddie:
I know.

Kevin Lund:
You have the right to shut up. Now, if you don't shut up, we'll use what you say against you. You have the right to hire a shyster to get you off. But, if no lawyer will take your case because your such a miserable excuse for a human being, the court will provide some low paid, overworked public defender. Now get in the damn car.

Taylor (to Lewis):
Hey, I got this game. I thought maybe you wanna play? (hold out his video game)

Lewis:
Let me see that. So, what's on here?

Taylor:
All kinds of neat stuff.

Lewis:
(going through the list of games) Chess? Medieval Jousting? Dragon slayer? What- what is this? (to another boy) Hey, check out little white boy.

Taylor:
Don't call me that!

Jenn (to Cassie):
If you want a car, you need to find a job. One close enough to home this time, so your father and I will approve of you working. Are you still looking?

Cassie:
I posted my resume on the internet.

Jenn:
Why not look the old fashioned way? Pound the pavement.

Lieutenant:
Till we find these guys you wanna lay low, ride the desk for a while?

Eddie:
You mean hide? That's not my style.

Lieutenant:
I know. But if these are the guys that hit Lund, you probably realize that they were aiming for you as payback for Donell.

Eddie:
I'm not letting these fools put me behind a desk.

Delilah Sandoval:
Don't worry, Lieutenant, I got his back. Anybody tries anything they got to come through me first, and I'm crazy.

Lieutenant:
Yeah, I'm starting to get that vibe.

Lizzie (to Boa):
Did you grow up around here?

Boa:
Yeah, two blocks over on Wyoming.

Lizzie:
You go to Powell?

Boa:
Yeah.

Lizzie:
You'd you have for English?

Boa:
Ms. Lawheed.

Lizzie:
(scoffs) She's mean. She once failed me on a spelling test because I used pencil instead of pen.

Boa:
(laughs) Man, that's cold.

Eddie:
(to Boa) I didn't want to kill Donelle. I didn't want Magnum to die, but I will kill you if you don't tell me where my daughter is.

Vera:
(about Lizzie's ransom) What about the department? Don't they have funds for stuff like this?

Eddie:
The department won't help out. It's against policy to lend money for ransom.

Jenn:
But not against policy to get us to move here.

Lizzie:
Um, can I have something to drink, my throat's all dry?

Magnum:
(to Boa) Get her something to drink.

Boa:
You got a beer or something?

Magnum:
What's the matter with you? Get her a soda.

Lizzie:
Do you have root beer?

Magnum:
Shut up! This ain't no 7-11.

Lizzie:
What are going to do to me?

Magnum:
Nothing if you cooperate.

Lizzie:
Cooperate how?

Magnum:
Do what we say and don't make trouble.

Boa:
We going to sell you back to your family.

Eddie:
(of Delilah) That woman's my partne...

Jenn:
And I am your wife; Lizzie's mother. Don't put me on a need-to-know basis, alright? I want all the information, and I want it first. (holds up her hand) You see this? Wedding band trumps uniform!

Eddie:
I got one of those too, Jenn, and it doesn't mean I can walk into your O.R. and perform brain surgery!

Jenn:
I'm worried about Lizzie too, but she's a survivor… just like you. And she looks up to you as an example.

Eddie:
Yeah, which is why she's so screwed up.

Cassie:
Charles, this will never, ever be our song.

Dr. Cole (to Jenn):
Sutton, two nurses called in sick, I'm gonna need you tonight.

Jenn:
Oh, I'm off at 6:00, Dr. Cole.

Dr. Cole:
We all put in long hours around here, Sutton.

Jenn:
That's why I'm in the float pool, so I don't have to. It's spring break, my kids have been home alone all day.

Dr. Cole:
Floaters work overtime like everybody else. I'll see you at 7:00.

Dr. McGhee:
I'm jealous, I thought Cole and I had an exclusive thing going on.

Jenn:
No, he likes spreading his love around.

Jenn:
(about Dana) Eddie, how can I open up my home to a woman who's been nothing but insulting and nasty to me?

Eddie:
Be an example to her.

Lizzie:
I thought you were going to ask Jessie P?

Wanda:
She can't sing as good as me, and, I have a karaoke machine.

Becky:
She won the eighth grade talent contest.

Lizzie:
Yeah, but Wanda you got me into serious trouble shoplifting, my sister lost her job.

Wanda:
I'm sorry about that, but didn't you get my e-mails? I said I was sorry 50 times. (singing) So can we be friends?

Kevin:
At least the weather'll be good for you for this weekend.

Eddie:
Hey, don't start.

Kevin:
Tay's sweet sixteen party?

Eddie:
His coming of age party.

Kevin:
I don't get it, so it's like a bar mitzvah… but with soul music.

Eddie:
Tay's turning 13 this weekend, he's coming of age. What's not to get?

Kevin:
And you're gonna get him a hooker.

Eddie:
What the hell's wrong with you?

Kevin:
Nothing's wrong with me, I'm not the one throwing my son a cotillion.

Taylor:
Is he crazy?

Lizzie:
It wasn't his idea to kidnap me. It was his partner's.

Taylor:
You can't write to him Lizzie. I mean do you want us to be homeless? I mean if Dad finds out that Boa wrote you and you wrote him back, Dad will kill him, Lizzie. Then Dad will go to jail, Mom will be mad, we'll be sad, we'll end up on the streets broke and homeless because of you.

Cassie:
I can't believe that my dad is letting me go out with you. What did you say to him?

Charles:
Stuff men say to each other. But the important thing is what I want to tell you. Cassie, sex isn't really a big deal to me right now. (pause) Well, maybe a medium deal. The important thing is that I love you and I want you to feel comfortable with me.

Cassie:
I am and I've always been comfortable with you.

Khan:
(to Eddie) You'll never rest easy, as long as I'm alive.

Reverend Hammond:
(to Eddie) One thing about the real Lincoln Heights, we look out for our own.
