Isles: What, you mean leave her here?
Rizzoli: Yes. I said you wouldn't like it. Let's go.
Isles: No. I'm calling my team.
Rizzoli: Maura, they weren't expecting anyone to find this body! Look at where she's hidden! Hear me out. Hear me out! We get the hell out of here, we put both the park entrances under surveillance!
Isles: What makes you think Hoyt isn't watching you right now?
Rizzoli: He might be! I'm willing to take that gamble!
Isles: What? By leaving this body here in hopes that he'll return? No. No! Every second she stays here more forensic evidence is lost!
Rizzoli: Maura, please. The faster we get out of here the better chance we have of not being discovered, okay? Because if we don't do this, we got nothing! If we take this body back now all we'll find out is, yep, she's dead and they killed her! Please! Do this for me!

Isles: You two like each other!
Rizzoli: No! Do you know what that ass used to call me? Frog face! It's not funny, Maura! No!
Isles: [laughing] It's not funny.
Rizzoli: I'm not a frog face!
Isles: Of course. No!

TV Show: Rizzoli and Isles
Frost: Korsak's calling me BBK. Barfbag kid. Crow's leaving plastic puke everywhere.
Isles: You're not the first detective to be sickened by death. You just have to find your morgue legs.
Frost: I read a study that said people can conquer this kind of thing with repeated exposure, like when you're afraid of dogs or flying.
Isles: Oh, immersion therapy! Very effective! It worked for me.
Frost: What were you afraid of?
Isles: People. Live ones. [looks down at dead body] She'll never judge me, tease me, and I can help her. I can speak for the dead.

TV Show: Rizzoli and Isles
Rizzoli: Maura, what do you see?
Isles: A reddish brown stain.
Rizzoli: In other words: blood.
Isles: No, a reddish brown stain. The crime lab will determine what it is. No signs of lacerations or abrasions on the victim.

Isles: [makes a face]
Rizzoli: Or smearing reddish brown stuff!

TV Show: Rizzoli and Isles
Grant: Yeah. I owe you a massive apology. I’m sorry.

Isles: Blisters.

TV Show: Rizzoli and Isles
Isles: [talking about Grant] Perhaps he’s a little nicer off the mound?

Isles: You were limping.

Isles: Look at that. [gazes at Jane's sandwich] Is it okay?
Rizzoli: Yeah!
Isles: [lifts half the sandwich and examines it] Look at this! What is that white substance?
Rizzoli: Fluff.
Isles: Light, downy particles of cotton?
Rizzoli: It's marshmallow, and the brown substance is called peanut butter. It's ground up, heavy, oily particles of peanuts. What, they didn't have that in your fancy boarding school?
Isles: This is really good!

TV Show: Rizzoli and Isles
Isles: Haven't you ever been afraid of anything?

Rizzoli: Yes, I had to sleep with a night light. Why, what were you scared of?
Isles: Chromobacterium violaceum.

Isles: [whispering to Jane] You could have told me you had a warrant!

Angela: I made Ragu bolognese.
Rizzoli: You made me wear this dress for Joe Grant?!
Angela: What?! No! I don't know what you're talking about!
Rizzoli: Ma!
Angela: I need to know you're taken care of.
Rizzoli: By him?! Are you kidding??
Angela: He's cute!
Rizzoli: He's not cute!
Angela: He's very cute!
Rizzoli: So what?!

Isles: No.
Rizzoli: Can you lie about that?
Isles: No. I don't lie.
Rizzoli: It's not a lie!
Isles: Yes, it is. I know when it is. I start to hyperventilate.
Rizzoli: It's a white lie!
Isles: [scoffs] It's still a lie.

Angela: So, you know, I never told you, but I'd be really good at solving cases.
Isles: Well, the forensic sciences can be quite complicated.

Rizzoli: Thank you, Agatha Christie. Stay in the car.
Angela: I won't embarrass you!
Rizzoli: Thirty years of experience says otherwise.

Isles: Two centimeter singular gunshot wound, mid-chest.
Rizzoli: I bet we're looking for a 9mm. [looks defensive when Dr. Isles looks at her in exasperation] I'll have ballistics confirm, I just like to guess! [pause] And I'm usually right!

TV Show: Rizzoli and Isles
Rizzoli: [looks at a sandwich] Is this from the good fridge or the dead people fridge?

Rizzoli: Dr. Maura Isles: knuckle deep in germy bar snacks. I'm shocked.

Isles: [smiles] You have no idea.

Rizzoli: I applied to BCU.
Isles: It's very hard to get into.
Rizzoli: I got in.
Isles: Why didn't you go?
Rizzoli: [shrugs] I wanted to be a cop.
Isles: What's the real reason?
Rizzoli: My father would have spent everything to send me there, and I couldn't do that to him.
Isles: Did you ever tell him?
Rizzoli: No, that would make him too sad.

Rizzoli: [looking at a large mansion owned by the Fairfield family] Holy crap!
Isles: The castle in Scotland is much bigger. The place on the Cape is beautiful, too.
Rizzoli: You could have been a Fairfield. How did we not know this?!
Isles: Could you stop saying that?
Frost: Whooooo. This is a Spyker C8 Laviolette! That's 400 horses up under there! I don't see these in magazines.
Isles: Garrett's here. He's always liked the finer things in life.
Rizzoli: Yeah. He liked you.

TV Show: Rizzoli and Isles
Isles: What's your take?
Korsak: My take is that you are the chief medical examiner and this is not your first floater.
Isles: It is my, uh, forty third. Yes, my forty third.
Korsak: I've been a cop a long time. I know when people aren't telling me the whole story.
Isles: Jane's mad at me!
Korsak: Oh, boy.
Isles: She thinks I'm being biased because I'm acquainted with the family.
Korsak: Acquainted? I heard it was a little more than that.
Isles: It was.
Korsak: That's not it, though. When you grow up like Jane you're going to have an attitude about people who, uh, are entitled.
Isles: That's a form of prejudice!
Korsak: Where people like me and Jane come from, we didn't have a lot, but we had each other's backs. It sounds like to me all Jane wants to know is: do you have hers or not?

TV Show: Rizzoli and Isles
Rizzoli: Excuse us, gentlemen.
Coast Guard Officer: This boat was found in our waters. It's a federal investigation now.
Rizzoli: That's a nice ventriloquism act. [turns to look at the Fairfield family attorney] Yeah, I can barely see your lips moving!
CG Officer: Our tow boat is on the way to take this craft to our slip.
Frost: That craft is our crime scene.
Korsak: It's our jurisdiction. Move.
Rizzoli: You want kids?
Isles: I would move.

Rizzoli: Whoa. Can't get that at a 7-Eleven, can you? Man! How much?
Isles: How much?! I don't know.
Rizzoli: Guess!
Isles: No!
Rizzoli: A hundred bucks?
Isles: Maybe. I don't --
Rizzoli: A hundred bucks a bottle? Wow.
Isles: A glass.
Rizzoli: Really?! God, no wonder it's so good.

Rizzoli: The pager's totaled.
Isles: That's not a pager. It's a glucose management system; insulin pump. She was diabetic. [looks at the victim's hand] Huh. Yeah, needle sticks. She probably had to check her glucose level about five to ten times a day. [leafs through a small notebook] Yeah, she kept careful records. Her last glucose level reading was over four hundred.
Rizzoli: Is that good or bad?
Isles: It's extremely high.
Rizzoli: Is that good or bad?

Rizzoli: I thought you said you couldn't lie!
Isles: What do you mean? I can't!
Rizzoli: You did!

Rizzoli: Maybe I should be a lesbian.
Isles: Aw. Well, wishes can come true. Frost and Korsak wanted to fill out your profile. I typed.
Rizzoli: You what?
Isles: If it wasn't for me, you'd be butch.
Rizzoli: You put my photo and profile on a gay dating website?
Isles: It's the best shot at getting DNA and breaking this case.
Rizzoli: No, it's our best shot. You're going with me.
Isles: No.
Rizzoli: Yes, Dr. Isles! I don't have time to train a female detective how to collect and preserve DNA. You're going!
[...]
Isles: I wonder what kind of women we would like if we liked women.
Rizzoli: What?! Well, first of all, I would be the guy.
Isles: That's a cliche! Why would you be the guy?
Rizzoli: Because!
Isles: Because you're bossy?
Rizzoli: So are you!
Isles: No, I'm not!
Rizzoli: Yes, you are, you're just soft and polite when you're bossing people around.
Isles: Well, it's a good thing you're not my type.
Rizzoli: What do you mean I'm not your type?! That's so rude!

Isles: Mark Twain said the clothes make the man.
Korsak: He also said naked people have little or no influence.
Isles: This is serious.
Rizzoli: Maura, come on, it'll be fine. We're trained professionals. We know what we're doing. We've actually been undercover a few times before, so let me handle this.
Isles: Okay. Fine. If you don't want my help. It's like trying to dress a squirmy six-year-old, anyway. Everything's too short, too itchy, [high pitched voice] I can't walk in that.
Rizzoli: Maura, we all appreciate that you dress like you're about to strut down a Paris runway. It's -- it's interesting.
Frost: Endearing.
Korsak: Sexy!
Rizzoli: It's fashionable.
Isles: Oh, so that's what you think? You think this is all about fashion for me??
Rizzoli: Um, no? It's not about fashion?
Isles: No, it's not!
Rizzoli: What is it about, then?
Isles: I used to sit at the Musée d'Orsay for hours and just stare at it. Do you know what I mean?
Rizzoli: [sarcastically] Yes, the Rizzoli family vacations there every summer.
Isles: Have you ever tried to appreciate Euler'snumber e? You know, the beautiful equation that connects three constants of mathematics? Have you?
Rizzoli: Yeah, I tried it once. [Korsak laughs]
Isles: I am in awe of what human beings can do. I am in awe of the hand knit channel stitching on this sweater. I am in awe of the artisan who molded and shaped this shoe.
Rizzoli: [sarcastically] I cannot wait to see what you're going to wear.

TV Show: Rizzoli and Isles
Isles: We're running for a charity! Professionals for Underprivileged Kids of Excellence. We're a team!
Rizzoli: Team P.U.K.E.?!
Isles: Yes, that is an unfortunate acronym.
Frankie Jr.: At least you're not a hot dog. Or a mustard.
Rizzoli: Stay out of this. Listen, I said I would do this because we said that we wanted to do something together, but I am not running as Lady P.U.K.E. Gaga! No!
Isles: Oh. I'm sorry. I should have realized. I didn't -- I'm sorry.
Rizzoli: Holy, crap! You're going to cry on me!
Isles: No, I'm trying not to, it's just that my amygdala and my lacrimal gland have a connection that I can't really control.
Rizzoli: Honey, there is no way in hell I am taking this off. I'm already running twenty-six miles with a camel toe.
Isles: Can you at least take off that baggy tee? Oh, come on! I'll let you walk up Heartbreak Hill!
Rizzoli: Oh, I'm walking Heartbreak. You're going to have to do better than that.
Isles: Okay. Name it.
Rizzoli: The next reddish brown stain you call blood before the labs come in.
Isles: [shocked] You want me to lie?!
Rizzoli: No, I want you to state the obvious.
Isles: Hypothetically, based on the crime scene, I will determine if it's possible to hypothesize that a stain is blood.
Rizzoli: I'll take that as a yes.
