Detective Lydia Adams
- Det. Lydia Adams: Well, what do you want me to do? Put on a little outfit, go out, get drunk, stagger to my car, get raped, and end up here for ten years, waitin' for somebody to do somethin' about it?
- Det. Russell Clarke: Jeez, Lyd - take it easy.
- Cathleen Kerik: What kind of case were you pulled off of?
- Det. Lydia Adams: Girl in South Central, strangled and dumped in an alley. Nothin' you'd be concerned with.
- Cathleen Kerik: OK. What is it, exactly, that you don't like about me? Huh?
- Det. Lydia Adams: I don't like the fact that if this girl was found in an alley in Brentwood, this would be front page news.
- Cathleen Kerik: That...
- Det. Lydia Adams: I don't like that there's a backlog of rape DNA of three thousand cases. I don't like the skirt you wear, I don't like your hairstyle, I don't like that every time a man is within fifteen feet of you, you push out your chest and your voice gets all kittenish.
- Det. Lydia Adams: I have something to tell you. I'm a cop.
- Talib: Jeez... Well, I didn't see that one comin'... Cop. So you - you enjoy your job?
- Det. Lydia Adams: I love it.
- Det. Lydia Adams: [it suddenly strikes her how true that statement is] Hm - I really love it... and I had a good week.
