The RizzIsles Rhyme & Reason: Quotable RizzIsles: Episode 1.02 -- "Boston Strangler Redux"

Case: Former old school detective frames who he believes was the real original Boston Strangler

RizzIsles: Maura diagnoses her date; RizzIsles talk about dating/guys

Jane: Was she dead before she was tossed over?

Maura: I’d be guessing.

Jane: I won’t tell.

Maura: Ballpark? She’s been dead about 2 hours.

(Maura flirts with a bystander)

Jane: Oh my God. You’re flirting over a dead body.

Maura: When else am I going to do it?

Maura: You are deceptively complex. I do not understand you.

Jane: Well you would if I was a dead body.

Maura: (genuinely intrigued) Do you think so?

Maura: It takes 20-30 seconds to pass out from strangulation. 1-post-mortem- trauma. 2-post-mortem-trauma.

Jane: I get it. Strangling sucks.

Maura: Do you want to know what I’m thinking?

Jane: It’s so weird. I do.

Maura: I think I know why you’re making such a big deal out of the fact that Grant’s your new boss.

Jane: I don’t want to know what you’re thinking.

Maura: When was the last time we had two stranglings in one day?

Jane: Well cheer up. Maybe tomorrow will be stabbing day.

(In response to Frost asking what she was afraid of)

Maura: People. Live ones.

Jane: What?

Maura: You’d want to know if you had Marfan Syndrome, right?

Jane: You did it again?

Maura: (squeaking) Yea huh.

(back to online shoe shopping)

Jane: Alright. Look. Come here. Take a few cuts off of this. It’ll make you feel better.

Maura: (excited) Okay.

Jane: Alright. Let’s see it.

Jane: Maura, what do you see?

Maura: A reddish brown stain.

Jane: In other words, blood.

Maura: No, the crime lab will determine what it is. She has no lacerations.

Jane: So maybe we got lucky and the killer was bleeding. Or smearing reddish brown stuff.

Jane: Hey, did you ever hear from Marfan man?

Maura: Mm hm. He called to thank me. He’s going to a specialist. World renowned.

Jane: Are you going to see him again?

Maura: I don’t date patients.

Jane: (Laughing) You don’t want to go out with him because he has some weird disease?

Maura: His limbs are a little spidery but that’s not the only reason.

Jane: Come on! You gotta stop that. You gotta stop diagnosing people.

Maura: Can we just talk about your love life?

Jane: Okay. I date two kinds of guys. One that hates that I’m a cop, and one that wants me to use the handcuffs. Watch this. (holds up cuffs as guy approaches) 3-2-1…bye bye. (looks at his smirking friend) “I like handcuffs”. Alright, enough of this.

Jane: (to Grant) Yea I can tell by the nasty face you’re making.

Maura: Oh that’s not about you Jane. He has ballous lesions.

Jane: What?

Maura: Blisters.

Maura: (smug, I-told-you-so face about liking Grant)

Jane: Oh shut up.
