Elsbeth Tascioni
- Judge Milton Crawford: I was impressed by the way you wriggled your way out of trouble in the Van Ness matter. I'm sure you violated ethical standards along the way, but that's nothing new for you.
- Elsbeth Tascioni: Well, you would know.
- Judge Milton Crawford: And I know that your friend, the captain, got the Mertens murder case reopened. I assume that was at your direction?
- Elsbeth Tascioni: Captain Wagner is his own man.
- Judge Milton Crawford: I shudder to think how this will affect your friend, Delia.
- Elsbeth Tascioni: Delia? She was acquitted of Andy's murder. Double jeopardy applies.
- Judge Milton Crawford: Do you really think that a woman like Delia can withstand the kind of scrutiny that may be coming her way?
- Elsbeth Tascioni: Can you withstand the kind of scrutiny that may be coming your way?
- [exchanging looks]
- Elsbeth Tascioni: You're way too smart to have made the kind of rookie errors you made in that trial. It's almost as if you had some personal stake in the case.
- Judge Milton Crawford: Such as ...?
- Elsbeth Tascioni: I don't know yet. But I won't stop until I do.
- Mandy Grey: My dad thinks I'm adrift just because my gap year hasn't ended yet.
- Elsbeth Tascioni: Well, how long has it been?
- Mandy Grey: 19 months.
- Officer Kaya Blanke: I thought this party was for me.
- Elsbeth Tascioni: It is. But I've already met you.
- Elsbeth Tascioni: It was a whirlwind romance, but he had to go back to his life in Scotland. We'll see each other again when the time's right.
- Lt. Steve Connor: Like 'Brigadoon'.
- Elsbeth Tascioni: Yes!
- Elsbeth Tascioni: Do you think I pushed you hard enough?
- Teddy Tascioni: Mom, let's not do this.
- Elsbeth Tascioni: Well, I'm afraid I made you too rounded, teaching you to be kind and read books. I should have made you pointier and made you practice the viola.
- Elsbeth Tascioni: Do you think someone was trying to lure cats to the gym just to trigger Ethan's asthma?
- Lt. Steve Connor: That seems like a pretty unreliable method of murder.
- Elsbeth Tascioni: Right? Cats never do what you tell them to do. Unlike Gonzo.
- Captain C.W. Wagner: Does anyone ever think of a gun anymore?
- Elsbeth Tascioni: You have to bring Roy. It's time I met him.
- Teddy Tascioni: I don't know. I'm not sure he's ready for the full interrogation.
- Elsbeth Tascioni: Please? It has to happen sometime. Unless you think it's not that serious.
- Teddy Tascioni: [after debating] Okay.
- Elsbeth Tascioni: [smiling delightedly] So it *is* serious!
- Teddy Tascioni: Don't you have a murder to investigate or something?
- Lawrence Grey: And what school did he go to?
- Elsbeth Tascioni: University of Illinois.
- Lawrence Grey: So, not an ivy. What was his major?
- Elsbeth Tascioni: Philosophy.
- Lawrence Grey: They still do that?
