Rizzoli and Isles Quotes

Isles: [examining a dead body on a park bench] Body temp is low. He's been sitting here a while.
Rizzoli: [observing what the body is holding] It's today's paper. Was he reading the stock pages and slit his own throat?
Isles: There's something very odd about the edges of the wound.
Rizzoli: Well, yeah, the whole thing's odd! I mean, there's no blood. There's no sign of struggle. What, death by a sharp nap?!
Isles: The darkening of the nasojugal fold indicates fatigue and vitamin deficiencies.
Rizzoli: [looking at the victim] Hmm.
Isles: You. You have dark circles under your eyes. Are you not sleeping again?
Rizzoli: [flippantly] Thank you. You look nice, too.

Rizzoli: You okay? Come on, Maura, talk to me. He's a freak. He gets to everybody.
Isles: I didn't -- I did a lot of research into his background; his childhood. Maybe he's not wrong.
Rizzoli: What are you talking about?
Isles: Maybe I am a little bit like him.
Rizzoli: You are nothing like him.
Isles: I don't -- I don't know, Jane. I was a weird kid.
Rizzoli: Were you killing small animals?
Isles: [laughs] No, but I dissected a lot of frogs.
Rizzoli: That's different.
Isles: I just started to think about things that I never really thought about before.
Rizzoli: Here it comes. There are bodies buried in your basement.
Isles: I spent a lot of time alone. I was adopted, my father was a professor and my mother she -- she came from a wealthy family and was an only child. I just realized something when I was reading about Hoyt. It just never occurred to be before. There was a lot of benign neglect. It's not that they didn't love me. It's just that I didn't ask for much. I don't think I really knew how, and the less that I would ask for the less time that they have for me. They were just very, very involved in their own lives and into each other. They sent me to boarding school when I was ten. I actually think that I sent away for the brochure myself. [smiles with Jane] They were delighted. I was really lost.
Rizzoli: Come here. [takes Maura's hand] No matter what happened to you, you are nothing like that monster, okay? You're a little anti-social maybe, goofy, but that's not the same thing.
Isles: [crying] Thank you.

Frost: We're waiting on a warrant, can't touch the car.
Female commuter out of view: I've been here twenty minutes.
Jane: Yeah, yeah, you're in a hurry for your latte.
Male commuter out of view: Come on! I've got to get to work!
Jane: Hey, man, shut up! [looks into the car holding up traffic] Come on! How hard is it to get a warrant signed? Where's Maura?
Frost: Stuck in traffic.
Jane: She shouldn't wear high heels to a crime scene.
Maura: [walks into the scene] Why not? These are very comfortable.
Jane: I'll bet you can run in them, too.
Maura: [smiling] I don't think that's a good idea.

Maura: I sent the blood samples to the crime lab, but I have no doubt this man is my father.
Jane: Since when do you jump to conclusions?
Maura: Since I found out who I really am. [to photos on the table] Stabbed, shot, shot, shot. [twists ring on her finger] Oh, my God. Did you see what I did? He does that. He introduced himself as Mr. Selsi. That's Isles. It's my adoptive name spelled backward.
Jane: I know. You keep saying that.
Maura: He was toying with me from the start while he was staring at his murdered son!
Jane: Come on. He came to say a final goodbye to Colin, and he knew that you wanted a DNA sample so he gave you some of his blood. That's a guy with balls!
Maura: You're defending a stone cold killer!
Jane: No, I'm -- yes, I am. Uh, and I'm going to stop now. Look, I think that whomever killed Colin knew that his murder would draw Patrick out. If it makes you feel better these were all bad guys.
Maura: He said Colin was too much like him. What about me? What I do for a living? I'm around more death than he is.
Jane: But you're not the one doing the killing.
