Quotable RizzIsles: Episode 2.08 -- "My Own Worst Enemy"


Case: An older man is killed after him and his son are mugged leaving a restaurant
RizzIsles: A mysterious man from Maura’s past randomly shows up; Jane is hurt that Maura is being very secretive about him; Jane has a foot injury and keeps limping around,


Maura: (knock on her front door, looks through window)  Ian?!  Oh my god!  (opens the door)
Ian: Hello there.  (slowly enters, throws bag down)
Maura: (gazing lustfully, jumps to straddle him, kissing)  What if I had someone here?
Ian: Do you?
Maura: No.
Ian: We’re in luck then.  (kissing, keeping Maura close against him, walks to couch and lays her down under him)
Maura: Where have you been?
Ian: I’m here now. (resume making out on the couch)


(At a crime scene, Jane is sitting on hood of squad car examining her foot; She quickly puts her boot on and limps toward Korsak when he calls)
Korsak: (explains scene they’re entering) Are you limping?
Jane: What?  No. (tries to walk normal)


Jane: (talking about case, interrupts herself)  Where is Maura?!
Korsak: Can’t do this without your b-f-f?
Jane: Not when she’s the Chief Medical Examiner.  No.


(Jane pulls out her cell to make a call)
Korsak: Dispatch has already called Dr. Isles.
Jane: Nah, I know.  I’m gonna call the CI.  He knows this neighborhood real well.  (Cell phone rings in the crowd playing music: “You are the one I waited for…”)
Rondo: (answering phone) Hello Vanilla.  (waves from the crowd)
Korsak: (muttering and walking away)  This freaking guy.
Jane: (to officer guarding police line) It’s okay, he’s with us.  C’mon Rondo.  Step this way.  (guiding him to the side by his elbow)
Rondo: I will step anywhere you tell me to step, Vanilla.  You are looking today, I tell you what girl.  I like it when you hold me tight.
Jane: C’mon, stop it.  This isn’t a date.  Okay, I need some information.
Rondo: I have lots of information.  (looking Jane up and down) And I know how to treat a lady right.
Jane: (through gritted teeth, rolling her eyes) Shut. Up.


(Maura struts on to crime scene flustered)
Maura: Hi.
Jane: Where ya been?
Maura: Uh, bed.
Jane: You okay?
Maura: (beaming, breathless) Yea.  Why?
Jane: Cause you’re wearing two different shoes!  (giggling)  You are so not feeling okay.
Maura: (quickly) I got dressed in the dark.  What about you?  You’re limping.
Jane: Oh no I’m not.
Maura: Yes you are.  You know why??  Because you buy your boots a half size too small.
Jane: No I don’t!
Maura: You stomp.
Jane: I do not stomp.
Maura: (head tilt, smile)


(Next morning, in Maura’s kitchen; Ian is making tea)
Maura: (hugging Ian, looking up at him expectantly, speaking breathlessly)  Why don’t you ever tell me when you’re coming?
Ian: Because I never know if I am…
(Key sound in the door, Maura pulls back)
Maura: Oh, that’s Jane’s mother.
Ian: Should I hide?
Maura: Uh, no.  Just say that we’re colleagues.  (smirking)  I don’t want to have to explain you.
Ian: I’m hard to explain.


Angela: (reading) If you’re a busy, unorganized professional.
Ian: Oh you mean like Dr. Isles here?  (Maura shoots him a look, smiles at Angela)
Angela: (reading) Are you ready to conquer the clutter?!  (pan around incredibly clean, organized house)  Yea, well, um, I’m just gonna check yes.
(Ian and Maura exchange a quick warm glance)


(New crime scene; Uniform is patting down Rondo)
Rondo: I’m tellin ya.  I’m the one that called it in.
Uniform: He says he’s with a Detective Vanilla.
Korsak: I can’t imagine why you didn’t believe him.
Jane: It’s alright.  He’s with me sir.
Rondo: (regarding Korsak) He gotta be here?
(Jane smirks)
Korsak: He does.
Jane: Talk.


Jane: (limping into Morgue) Hm, we’re feeling better… your shoes match. (smiling)
Maura: (smiling) I was just tired last night.  You’re still limping.  (Jane groans, Maura grabs her phone to reply to a message, smiling)
Jane: (smiling) Who’s that?
Maura: Not important.
Jane: Hm. Oh, okay.  Well can we go out on a limb and say this junkie OD’d?
Maura: (brightly) Yes!
Jane: Really?!
(talking about the case, Maura’s phone vibrates again, she puts it in her pocket without looking)
Jane: Well you didn’t even read it that time.
Maura: It’s nothing.  (goes back to case file)
Jane: (smiling) You’re in a weird mood.
Maura: No.  I’m not.  (back to reading file)
Jane: Okay.  (phone vibrates, checks message)  Oh.  I gotta go talk to my CI.  Wanna grab a coffee afterwards?
Maura: (smiling to herself) No, I already had tea.
Jane: Oh.  (hesitates, confused, leaves)


Angela: Did you meet Dr. Isles’ new hunk?
Jane: (conspiratorially)  What?!
Angela: Ian?  They think I was born yesterday.  He spent the night.
Jane: Ma, that’s really none of your busin-- Ian spent the night?!
Angela: Mmhm.  Didn’t she tell you??
Jane: (slight hesitation) Um yea.  Yes.  Okay thanks.  (leaves counter with coffee)


Rondo: I got you on speed dial, Vanilla.


(Talking about case in the lab; Maura’s phone vibrates, she looks quickly then puts it back down)
Jane: (teasing tone)  Is that Ian?
Maura: (quickly glances to others around, gathers materials to move to morgue) Uh, let’s go and take a look at the victim’s nails.
Jane: (rolling her eyes)  Oh, lets.
Maura: (walking passed Jane holding morgue door, speaks dryly) Yes it was Ian.  Just an old friend.  (examines victim’s fingers)  His cuticles have never been cut.  I’d say he’s never had a manicure.
Jane: You don’t have to tell me about Ian.  (Maura looks up at Jane)  It’s none of my business.
Maura: I’m not not telling you about him.  (shrugs)  He just stopped by this morning.  (looks down)
Jane: (looking to the side, not directly at Maura)  I heard he stopped by last night.  (quick glance at Maura)
Maura: (stuttering, uncomfortable) Uh, um, he lives in Africa.  It’s um.  It’s complicated.
Jane: (short) Okay.  (shrugs, starts to walk away slowly)  Uh, let me know if you find anything else (exaggerated) in the case as long as it’s not complicated.  I mean, who am I to help you with your complicated love life?!
Maura: Jane.  (grabs phone, walks to Jane)
Jane: (stops walking, waits; Maura stops to smile at her phone as she reads/replies to messages; Jane rolls her eyes and starts to walk away again)  Good bye.  Have a fabulous time reading your, love texts in private.
Maura: (glancing up quickly)  No, Jane.  Jane wait.  Wait.  It’s nothing.  (Jane stops)  It’s nothing.  Look.  (hands Jane her cell)
Jane: (reading slowly) Ahunay ee tee pia.  Wessette ab bur-- (annoyed, hands phone back to Maura)
Maura: (school girl smile)  He just said, um, guess what we’d be doing if we were in Ethiopia right now.
Jane: That doesn’t sound complicated.  (Maura continues smiling, reading and replying; Jane gets annoyed) I killed Korsak with your scalpel.  (Maura laughs at her phone)  I contaminated all your DNA samples.  (Maura continues smiling at phone)  I snuck into your closet and put all your shoes in different boxes.
Maura: (head snapping up)  What?!
Jane: Never mind.  (walks away)
Maura: No, Jane!  Wait.  Wa-wait, I’m sorry.  Let me at least take a look at your foot.
Jane: Oh no!  I don’t think we’re close enough for that anymore.
Maura: Please??  I’m, I’m sorry.  Okay?  Look.  (makes show of putting phone off to the side, gestures for Jane to sit in seat)
Jane: (sitting)  You’ll be really sorry when my toe kills me.  (removes boot and sock; takes deep breath, puts foot up to Maura.)  Okay.  Don’t touch it.  (Maura touches it) Ow!!  (through gritted teeth)  Maura.
Maura: (carefully)  Okay.  You have acute anickocryptosis. 
Jane: Do I need to update my will?
Maura: In grown toenail.  You need a minor procedure.
Jane: Okay.  You do it.
Maura: Me?  I don’t do surgery.
Jane: It’s not a kidney transplant, Maura.  Just do it.
Korsak: (enters morgue, sees RizzIsles with Jane’s foot in Maura’s hand, shakes his head)  Not gonna ask.


(Knocking on door)
Maura: (opens door, smirking, accusatory)  What are you doing here?
Jane: (limping) My toe.  It’s killing me.
Maura: Unless it’s given you a staph infection, it’s hardly killing you.
Jane: (starts to protest, stops when she sees Ian closing boxes on dining room table)  Oh, I’m so sorry to barge in.  (smirking)
Maura: No, that’s okay.
Ian: (walking over, hand extended)  Hi.  You must be Jane Rizzoli.  Let me get you a glass of wine.
Jane: Okay.  Thank you.  You must be Ian.
Maura: Jane needs a phenylization procedure.
Ian: Oh!  Then you’ll want a lot of wine.  I better open another bottle.  (walks away)
Maura: (amused)  Did you come over here to check up on me?
Jane: Oh yea.  I rubbed bad germs all over my ingrown toenail so I could spy on you.
Ian: Uh, Maura.  I can’t find the corkscrew.
Maura: (to Jane)  Your mother has been doing some organizing for me.  (gestures to cabinets)  
Jane: Ugh.  Can’t she find a slob-- (horrified, notices printed labels on all cabinets and drawers) to. bother.  I’m so sorry!
Maura: That’s okay.  (digging through drawers)  She alphabetized everything so now corkscrew is next to the chopsticks.  (smile)
Ian: Let me see that foot while I open the wine.
Jane: (hesitant, confused)  Okay.  (boosts herself onto island)
Ian: What can I use to do the procedure?
Jane: (protesting)  I thought was gonna do it.  (desperately glances at Maura)
Maura: Uh Ian is much more qualified.  (smiles, moves to find something)  I just got a new pair of carbon steel pruning sheers.  (quick pan to Jane’s terrified smile)  But would that be under C or F?  Uh, P!  Guess that makes sense.  P for pruning. (reassuring smile, hands tool to Ian)
Ian: Thank you.
Jane: What are you gonna cut off my toe?!
Ian: Pretty much the same tool the podiatrists use.  (sterilizing tool with lighter, Jane looks on wide-eyed, chugs her wine)


Ian: Okay.  This is going to feel a little bit cold.  (sprays topical anesthetic on Jane’s foot)
Jane: (jumps, pulls foot back, trying to speak calmly)  OOOOkay.  That’s fine.  (Maura smirks)
Ian: Oh and I’m gonna need a toothpick too.
Jane: What?!  What for?!  (Maura smirks and walks away)


Jane: (sitting in cafĂ© doing paperwork, spots delivery boy with basket)  Oh, hey.  You lookin for Dr. Maura Isles?  Give it to me.  I’ll take it to her.
Angela: (grabs card from basket)
Jane: Maa!
Angela: What?  It’s from Ian.
Jane: (looking at basket)  Wow.  Two buck chuck and 3 rolls of toilet paper.  Romance lives.
Angela: She’s more secretive about this one, isn’t she?
Jane: (doing paperwork)  No.  Yes. 
Angela: Hurts your feelings that she’s not confiding in you.  (Jane softly looks up at Angela)  I’m sorry sweetheart.
Jane: I don’t care.  Ya know.  I don’t need to know every detail of her personal life.
Angela: But she usually tells you.
Jane: (shrugs)  Yea.
Angela: He seems charming.  But ya know, those are the ones you have to worry about.
Jane: I got a really weird vibe from him.  He was unpacking boxes and then when he saw me he just closed them all up.
Angela: That’s your cop gut.  Maybe he’s a criminal.
Jane: (rolls her eyes)  I don’t know.
Angela: Well he is Australian.  Aren’t they all descended from crooks?
Jane: (laughs)  Ma, that was like 200 years ago and I don’t think we can hold that against him.
Angela: Ya know.  While I’m in there organizing, I can poke around.
Jane: Please don’t do that.
Angela: I hear you loud and clear.  You need deniability. 
Jane: (sternly)  Ma.  No.  (Angela holds her hands up in surrender and walks away)  Nooo!!  (seeing Maura walk into headquarters)  Maura!  (grabs stuff and runs to her)  Maura!
Maura: (smiling, laughing)  That must be from Ian. 
Jane: Ian really knows how to woo a girl
Maura: When we did relief work in Ethiopia we’d talk about what we’d give for some cheap wine and toilet paper.
Jane: How come you never told me about him?
Maura: I’m sure I have.  You must have forgotten.  Thanks for this.  (gets on elevator) 


(In Morgue with Maura about to autopsy a rat)
Jane: Maybe you should do an autopsy.
Maura: Technically it’s called a necropsy.
Jane: Well let’s not tell the tax payers what we do with their tax dollars.
(Cart with a bunch of boxes is rolled into morgue)
Jane: (boot off, rubbing her toe)  What is that?!
Maura: Supplies.
Jane: For Ian?
Maura: Yes, for Ian.  Who fixed your toe.  How is your toe?
Jane: How is your conscience?
Maura: Excuse me?  (continues working)
Jane: What are you doing?!  Who is this guy?!  Why are you being so weird?
Maura: Why are you turning into a snoopy dog?
Jane: Do you mean Snoop Dogg or Snoopy THE Dog?  Either way I’m insulted.
Maura: Too insulted to find out what killed your rats?
Jane: Okay that is so not fair.


Angela: Jane!  Ian is a spy.
Jane: What’d you do, Ma?
Angela: I found passports from different countries, all with his photo and um, (digging into top of her shirt, grabs piece of paper) and all with different names.  (hands Jane paper)
Jane: You shouldn’t have done this, Ma.


Jane: (quickly as heading out to pursue a suspect) Speaking of hiding.  Ian is wanted for questioning by Interpol for smuggling drugs.
Maura: You’ve been investigating me.
Korsak: (from down the hall) Jane!
Jane: I’m coming!  (runs out, Maura is clearly angry)


(knocking on door, Maura answers)
Jane: Hi. 
Maura: (softly, strained)  Hi.
Jane: (concerned)  You okay?  (Maura shakes her head, holding back tears, walks toward dining room; Jane walks in behind her unsure and hesitant)  Where’s Ian?
Maura: (heavy sigh, looks down, sits at counter)  He’s gone.  I harbored a fugitive.  So, go ahead and arrest me.
Jane: I’m sorry.
Maura: Because you won’t be able to arrest him?
Jane: (takes a second to take in Maura’s appearance, hands her a tissue)  Man, you got it bad.
Maura: (crying)  You know when people talk about the loves of their lives?  That’s Ian.
Jane: (softly) You never ever mentioned him.
Maura: Cause I try to forget him. 
Jane: I’m sorry Maura.  I shouldn’t have done what I did.  It’s none of my business.
Maura: (shifting in her seat)  I just, I can’t… I can’t talk about him.  I can’t.  With anybody… because it makes me so sad.  How can you-- How can you love someone and not be able to be with them?
Jane: Why can’t you be with him?
Maura: He went back to Africa.
Jane: You can go to Africa.
Maura: (shakes her head, sighs)  His crime is risking his life to bring drugs and basic supplies to places nobody cares about.  And I helped him, so, go ahead and arrest me.
Jane: (smiles sweetly, looks around kitchen shocked and appalled)  The first person I’m gonna arrest is my mother!  What?!  Really?!  High ball glasses?!  (Maura smiling)  When was the last time you had a high ball?!  C’mon.
Maura: (sipping from a shot glass)  She rearranged my closet too.
Jane: No.  Not the closet.
Maura: She threw away my shoe boxes.
Jane: Oh no.  That is a crime.  Sorry.  (hands Maura another tissue)  Want me to take you to the airport?
Maura: (sighs, thinks)  No…. no.
Jane: Want me to sit with you til you feel better?
Maura: Yes.  …but first can you arrest your mother?
Jane: (brightly) Okay!  (RizzIsles smile, Jane motions for Maura to stand up, hugs her close, Maura starts crying again)  It’s okay.  It’ll be okay…

Quotable RizzIsles: Episode 2.07 -- "Bloodlines"


Case: Witches are being burned at the stake
RizzIsles: Jane is frustrated that Frankie’s ex-girlfriend is back; Maura convinces Jane to spy on Frankie and tries to help


(Angela puts breakfast down for the girls; Jane’s is bunny pancakes; Uniform walks by and gives her a look)
Jane: (cutting ears off pancakes)  Okay, at work, make normal pancakes.
Maura: I love bunny pancakes.
Jane: Do not, encourage her.  (to Angela)  So we’re clear, no zoo animal shapes at work.  (Angela smirks)
Maura: Rabbits aren’t zoo animals.  Well, except for the Washington Pigmie which is being bread in captivity.
Angela: Talking about breeding… I could make bunny pancakes for grandchildren.
Jane: Mom!  (drops fork)
Angela: Uh oh.  You know what that means?  Drop a fork, expect a female visitor.
Maura: Are you still menstruating, Mrs. Rizzoli?  (Angela gives her a “mensa mensa” hand)
Jane: Maura!  God, no!  Other kind of visitor… the person kind.  She’s very superstitious.  My mother believes in all that stuff about cats, umbrellas and ladders.  Had me convinced I was gonna paralyze her if I stepped on a crack.
Maura: (sing songy kid’s voice) Step on a crack, break your mother’s back.  (amused)  You believed that?
Jane: I was 5.  (to Angela)  Don’t you have other customers?


Jane: (sees Angela greet a woman in the CafĂ©)  Oh my God!  What is SHE doing here?!
Maura: Who’s that?
Jane: Frankie’s ex. 
(Angela hugs the woman)
Maura: Looks like your mother likes her.
Jane: Uh, no.  That would be her I-can’t-stand-you hug.  She’s way too polite to call her the word that rhymes with witch.
Maura: (loudly) Bitch?
Jane: Sshh!! 
Angela: Jane.  (walks woman over to table)  Look who I found!
Jane: (stands, awkwardly hugs woman)  Theresa.  How, how ya doin?  (Maura looks on noticing Jane’s body language)
Theresa: Jane, wow!  Long time.
Jane: What are you doing here at Boston Police headquarters?
Theresa: Just moved back to town.
Jane: Just thought you’d pop by the police department?
Theresa: Job application.
Jane: You’re being fingerprinted?
Theresa: (trying to mask her annoyance) It’s mandatory for everyone applying. 
Jane: Sure.  Sure.  (Maura watches Jane with concern and confusion)  Especially for people who have other people co-sign a car loan and then default on that loan.  (Continues eating)
Theresa: Good seeing you too, Jane.
Jane: See ya around.  (sarcastic smile as she leaves)
(Angela smirks and walks away)


Maura: Wow!  You just gave her your I-can’t-stand-you hug.  Seesh!  Uncomfortable!
Jane: You want uncomfortable?  Trying paying off Theresa’s car loan while she skips town and leaves you holding the bag.
Maura: Perhaps you should have had her fingerprinted first. 
Jane: No, not me.  Frankie.  It’s the love of his life.
Maura: She’s very symmetrical. 
Jane: (disbelief) ‘scuse me?
Maura: Studies have shown that women who have the most symmetrical facial features are the most attractive to men.
Jane: You’re not helping.


Maura: Hmm.  It’s interesting.  I’m gonna have to do a full autopsy before I can tell the gender.
Jane: Hm, I don’t know.  It’s definitely male.  (winks at Korsak)
Maura: Oh no.  The less pronounced super orbital ridges indicate female.
Jane: (hip thurst/ YES! gesture) YES!  Okay, so our victim is definitely female.
Maura: OH!  That is not fair.


Jane: Think she was alive when they set her on fire?  (Maura gives her a look)  I know, I know… you need time and endless tests.


Maura: (picks up fragment off victim, smells it)  Pine scent.  Right where her jacket pocket would be.
Jane: Think she was wearing air freshener?
Maura: No.  I think it might be amber.


Jane: Sooo, how’s everything?
Frankie: Good.
Jane: Anything, new, today?
Frankie: Nope.  Not a thing.
Jane: Was she here to see you?!
Frankie: Who?
Jane: You know who.
Frost: You guys want some privacy?
Frankie: Because my sister is butting into my business.
Jane: I knew it.  You were eating lunch with Theresa.
Frost: If you guys are gonna fight right now…
Frankie: She was here getting fingerprinted for a job and it’s none of your business.
Jane: She pay you back for that Camry?
Frankie: Also not your business.
Frost: You bought a car for a chick?!  Dumb Bro.
Frankie: Excuse me, Bro!
Jane: We had to scrape him off the ceiling every time Hurricane Theresa blew into his life.
Frankie: Oh!  You wanna go there.  Fine.  Let’s talk about Steve Sana.
Frost: Who’s Steve Sana?
Jane: No one.
Frankie: Oh she was nuts about him.  She started wearing dresses.  You shoulda heard her on the phone.  (mock girl voice)  Hi, Steve?  I’m like, good.  (Frost laughs, girl giggle; Jane smacks him)


Frost:  Oh, no.  I don’t like black cats.  (look from Jane)  It’s not a black thing.  It’s your cat baby talk.


Jane: It’s blood, right?
Maura: I don’t know yet.
Jane: So why did you rush all the way over here if you’re going to take as long as you take in your lab?
Maura: Can you hover somewhere else?
Jane: Somebody did get a visitor today.
(Maura shoots her a confused, concerned look)


Frost: This alter doesn’t look like it’s up to anything good.
Maura: I agree.  It suggests a darker, more traditional form of witch craft.
Jane: I don’t even wanna know how you know that.


Maura: Those who practices dark magic give blood to use in spells.
Jane: Again, never tell me how you know this.


Frost: Slaves came with the land back in the day.
Jane: Hey, women were considered property.
(Frost and Jane glare at Korsak)
Korsak: What are you looking at me for?  I don’t even have a cleaning lady!


Jane: Did you find anything to confirm that Helen was crazy?  Korsak said that the real estate developer claimed she was a nut bar.
Maura: The genetics of mental disorders are far more complex than the genetics of many of the rare single gene diseases.
Jane: Yes or no.  Perfectly good answers.
Maura: No.


Jane: 3 sandwiches.  Big lunch.
Frankie: Yea, I’m meeting someone.
Jane: Is that why you’re wearing all that cologne.
Maura: (sniffs Frankie)  It’s quite lovely.  Hints of orange blended with notes of cedar, and (notices Jane’s face, hesitates) ver-bena.
Frankie: Yea.  Thanks.  Ma, I gotta run. 
Angela: Okay.  See ya.  Bye.  Enjoy.
Jane: Where’s he off to?
Angela: A picnic at the Public Gardens. 
Jane: Is it with Theresa?
Angela: Oh I hope not.  I mean, how can he not remember how much pain she put me through.
Jane: You?!  Ma, he was depressed for months when she found a new guy and dumped him on his ass, again!
Angela: I remember.
Maura: That can be quite serious.  Broken heart syndrome, also known as stress cardio myopathy.  It can cause rapid and severe heart muscle weakness.
Angela: Oh my god!  You gotta do something.


(RizzIsles in Maura’s car trying to spy on Frankie)
Jane: Do you see him?
Maura: No.
Jane: It’s hot and I smell like a French fry.
Maura: That’s because we’re in direct sunlight.
Jane: I know that, double-0 7, that’s why I’m hot.
Maura: (pushes button) You feel that?  Ventilation fan.
Jane: Hm.  Magic.
Maura: No.  Solar panels, on the roof of my car?  They automatically generate enough electricity to cool us off.
Jane: How green.
Maura: Isn’t it!
Jane: Does it get rid of French fry smell?


Jane: How is it that you can’t lie but you can talk me into spying on my brother?!
Maura: (sincerely)  We’re not spying.  (look from Jane)  We’re not.  We are gathering data to test a hypothesis.  Which is the first step of scientific inquiry.
Jane: We.  (Pointing with a French fry)  You and I are snooping.  Meddling.  We are sticking our noses where they do not belong.  (looking off in the distance)  Oh my God!  (slouches down in seat; Maura copies movement; Frankie is seen up ahead with Theresa)  I just turned into my mother.  Hypothesis confirmed.  I would recognize that cheap dye-job anywhere.  (Jane’s phone rings; quickly grabs it off dash)  It’s Korsak.  (answers phone on speaker)  Rizzoli.
Maura: (leaning toward phone, smile)  And Isles!


Maura: Sabrina is a very old Welch name.
Jane: It’s also the name of the teenage witch.  (Maura smiles and laughs)


(In response to Korsak naming where a suspect works)
Maura: It’s an occult store.
Jane: You shop there?!
Maura: I’ve bought gifts.


(Frankie knocks on car window)
Jane: (into phone) Gotta go.  (hangs phone up)  Hi, what are you doing here?
Frankie: You followed me.
Maura: We did.  But we are just testing a hypothesis.  We are not snooping.
Frankie: Oh really?  What’s your hypothesis?  If I meet Theresa for lunch it’s your business?
Maura: No.  We were trying to determine if you’re getting back together. (sincere smile)
Jane: (to Maura)  Please stop talking.
Maura: Hypothesis require rigorous testing.  It’s very--
Frankie: You wanna know what I’m doing here?
Jane: No.
Frankie:  Fine.  (waves someone over to the car; little girls comes up)  This is my daughter, Lily.  Say hi to your Aunt Jane.
Lily: HI.
Jane: Hello.  (reaching into her fast food bag)  Want a French fry?
Lily: No.  My mom says they make you look fat.
(Jane deliberately eats fry with a smile on her face, glares at Frankie)


Jane: Let’s get to Salem.
Maura: It’s called the City of Peace now.
Jane: Well that’s nice of them since they put 19 innocent people to death.  (Surprised look from Maura)  Salem was my favorite field trip.  I’ve been there 6 times.


Suspect: We’re hereditary witches.
Maura: (leaning to Jane, whispering)  That means--
Jane: 6 field trips.  I got this.


Angela: Dr. Isles, could I possibly trouble you to host a little family get together?
Jane: No!
Maura: (simultaneous to Jane) Of course!
(Angela walks away)
Jane: What was that?
Maura: (hesitantly) Hospitality?


(Maura & Homicide Team sitting at Séance; Female witches feeding male witch)
Jane: Ugh.  What is she doing?
Maura: A feeding ritual.  In the Hua society of New Guinea, feeding and sexual intercourse are believed to transfer the vital essence new.
Jane: I’m leaving if sexual intercourse is next.
Korsak: I’m not.
Frost: Me either.


Korsak: I don’t like this.
Frost: (whispering) It’s okay.  If you get scared you can hold my hand.


(Witches use Ouija board)
Jane: Fig.  Ohhh.  Spo-oky.
Guy Witch: I just had one in your honor, Helen.  She loved figs.
Maura: (genuinely intrigued) No kidding!
Jane: (sarcastically) No, no kidding, Maura.


Maura: Helen said her killer was near.
Jane: Helen said?
Maura: Oh you’re right.  That sounded a little silly.
Jane: A little.


Jane: Fake.  Phony.  Like Theresa who I now get to watch chew with her mouth open.  Thanks to you!


Angela: Okay, Frankie.  You get to do the honors.
Frankie: You sure?
Angela: (smiling) Yea.
Frankie: (kisses Angela) Okay.
Jane: (smiling proudly from across room)  Wow.  Ma’s never let anyone other than Pop cut the meat before.
Maura: Well, now that Frankie’s a father.
Jane: (smiling, through gritted teeth)  We don’t know that, Maura.


Jane: Lily, my goodness, you are so grown up!  How old are you?
Lily: 7.
Jane: 7?  Wow!  You are almost as old as your Mommy’s Camry!
Frankie: Jane.  Jane, come help me in the kitchen.
Jane: I’m not finished.
Frankie: (walking up behind Jane, lifting her to her feet)  This will just take a second.
Theresa: Hey Frankie.  (glaring at Jane)  Get me some more wine.
Angela: And Lily, would you like some more milk?
Lily: Yes, please.
Jane: I’ll get it for ya baby.  (takes sippy cup)


Frankie: (whispering to Jane in the kitchen)  That’s the mother of my child.
Jane: You sure about that?  She’s always taken advantage of you.  Lied to you.  Cheated on you.
Frankie: Would you stop?!
Jane: No!  I can’t stand to see this happen again.  Not to you and not to that little girl.  Lily is not some car you can buy with Theresa.  She deserves to know the truth, Frankie and so do you.
Frankie: You are really lucky there’s company around.  (walks away, Jane calls after him, Maura goes to Jane in the kitchen)


Jane: (whispering)  Get your purse!
Maura: What?!
Jane: (slowly thru gritted teeth) Get. Your. Purse!  (confused, Maura obliges)  Oh my God.  I’m going straight to hell, I’m stealing a sippy cup!  (puts cup in Maura’s bag)  Go to the car.  Go!


Korsak: What makes people put all those holes in their head and in their-- ugh.
Maura: Tounge and both nipples?  (laughing, amused)  It’s not new though.  Roman Centurians used to attach their capes to their nipple piercings.
Korsak: Okay, that’s good! (Maura laughs)


(Frankie storms into Morgue)
Frankie: Where is it Maura?  Where’s the princess cup?!
Korsak: (recloses bag)  I should go.
Maura: (desperately) Well let me cut the caps off first.
Korsak: They’re fine.  (leaves)
Frankie: I know Jane took Lily’s cup.  Where is it?
Maura: Don’t be mad at Jane.  She just did it because she loves you.
Frankie: What’s your excuse?
Maura: Well, I, I have a bigger purse.  And access to (smiling) superior paternity testing.
Frankie: Oh yea?!  Well guess what?  I’m getting my own paternity test.  If Lily turns out to be mine, I’m gonna be the Dad she deserves.  And Jane is just gonna have to accept it.
Maura: That’s very admirable, Frankie.  And clearly Theresa needs a good guy like you in her life.
Frankie: I’m never getting back with Theresa.  It’s about Lily now.  (leaves Morgue, runs into Angela in the doorway)  Ma?!
Angela: Whoops!  Oh.  I must’a gotten lost. 
Frankie: What’s that behind your back?
Angela: Nothing.  Oh, Dr. Isles is working.  I better come back.  (turns to leave, Frankie grabs her)
Frankie: Hey.  (takes bag from Angela)
Maura: That’s okay.  I can still talk while I analyze stomach contents. 
Frankie: What’s this in the bag?  (realization dawns)  You gotta be kidding me.
Angela: I’m sorry, Frankie.  I have to know for your sake.
Maura: I have to talk to Jane.  We just got a breakthrough in this case.  But you’re welcome to stay here and finish this argument.
Frankie: Gee thanks.


Frankie: Whatcha eatin?  Humble pie?
Jane: I deserve that.  I’m sorry, okay?  I’m a jerk.
Frankie: Yea.  Yea you are. 
Jane: Lily, she’s a nice girl.  And I’m gonna be a great Aunt, I promise. 
Frankie: Nope.  You won’t be.  I got the paternity test back.  Lily’s not my daughter. 
Jane: I’m sorry, Frankie.
Frankie: Yea, ya know what?  So am I.
Maura: You’ll make a really good father some day.
Frankie: Yea, some day.
Jane: That’s too bad.  I was really looking forward to holidays with Theresa.  (everyone laughs)  What are we gonna do about Ma?!
Korsak: She like cats?
Jane: Oh don’t even think about it!
Maura: (jokingly) Beretta is very sweet.
Jane: Okay, it’s your house!  (to Frankie) C’mere.  Sit down.  Let me buy you a beer.  (hugs Frankie)  I love you.

Quotable RizzIsles: Episode 2.06 -- "Rebel Without a Pause"


Case: A “solider” is killed during a Revolutionary War reenactment
RizzIsles: Maura’s mother comes to town and disappoints her with cancelled plans and not seeing her enough; Jane gets very protective seeing Maura hurt by her mother


Maura: Making croissants seems daunting but really it’s as easy as making coq au vin.
Angela: I can’t believe it takes two days!
Jane: Hey Julia Child, I can buy a tube of those crescent things and serve ‘em to ya in 20 minutes.  (yelling at baseball game)
Maura: Why are you yelling?  You can’t change the outcome.
Jane: Really?  I thought I could.
Maura: That would require crossing the space time continuum.


Angela: Go get the hand vacuum and clean up your couch crumbs.
Jane: Ma, I’m trying to relax.
Angela: And we are trying to get ready for a guest.  (through gritted teeth) Help out!


Jane: (Gets off couch, joins Maura and Angela in the kitchen) C’mon Maura.  You’ll give yourself an ulcer.  It’s not royalty, it’s your mom.
Maura: Ulcers are caused by aged polori.  Bacteria.
Jane: Or critical mothers.
Angela: I’m not critical.  (Jane smirks and bites her lip)  Am I?
Maura: She’s never been to my house before.
Angela: Never?  (Maura sweetly smiles, shakes her head)  Well what do you do when she visits Boston?
Maura: We just  (slightly hesitates) usually go to one of my parent’s homes in Europe.  (Jane and Angela exchange an “OH” look)  Those tulips are wilting already!
Jane: (dripping with sarcasm) Yes, I can see why you’re so ashamed of this hideous place.  Forcing her to stay in that disgusting guest house.
Angela: What are you talking about?  It’s lovely.
Jane: (realization comes across her face) Wait a minute!  If your mom is in the guest house, (to Angela) where are you staying?
Angela: With you of course!  (Makes kissing sounds, leans to kiss Jane, Jane obligatorily lets her)
Jane: Fine.  But just know I don’t serve coq au vin I serve coco (smirking) puffs.
Angela: (laughing) I know.


(RizzIsles get called to a scene)
Maura: (taking apron off) I haven’t even had a chance to order the organic pigs’ trotters.
Jane: (seriously) Are those f--, I’m not eating feet.


Jane: (touching Maura’s hip) C’mon.
Maura: (looking at Jane) You should change.
Jane: Alright.  I’ll change in the car.
Maura: (seriously) Then I’m driving.
Jane: Aw c’mon.  I hate it when you drive.
Maura: Well I hate it more when you undress and drive.


Jane: (reading Victim’s ID) He was a garbage man.  Maybe it wasn’t an accident.  Maybe someone wanted him dead.
Maura: Perhaps it was someone who didn’t like to recycle.  (proud smile)
Jane: (in disbelief)  Was that a joke?
Maura: (quickly glances at Homicide Team) Only if it’s funny.


(RizzIsles discussing victim’s injury)
Jane: Maura.  Shot or stabbed?  Or did somebody chew on his hip?
Maura: Oh, I don’t think that’s from a bite.


Maura: Fascinating.  He was a Smitty!  Blacksmith.
Jane: (whispering) Maura, it’s pretend.


Frankie: Perimeter’s secured.  What next?
Jane: I’ll have a coffee.  Two sugars.  Black.
Frost: Oh, make that two.
Maura: Cappuccino, please?  But only if there’s 1% milk.
Jane: Good think you’re not picky.
Frankie: Hey, I’m trying to make Detective not become a Barista.
Frost: Bro.  You know how many coffee runs I had to make working my way up?
Korsak: Nothing for me, but if you hustle those coffees up I’ll let you help me with witness statements.
Frankie: Deal.


Reenactment Guy: I was merely attempting to move this artillery piece out of your way.  Commanding Officer General Ezekiel Parker of the 16th Brigade.
Jane: I’m Martha Washington.  Let me see your driver’s license.
General: Sure.  Of course.
Jane: Dwayne Kravitz.  No wonder you went with Parker.
Maura: (comes running over, extends hand to General) It’s such a pleasure to meet you.  Dr. Maura Isles.  Professor Kravitz is a leading authority on Colonialism.  I’m a huge fan.
Jane: You’re a huge fan of Colonialism?
Maura: No, of course not.  He’s also the Chair of American History at Boston Cambridge University.
General: Good Doctor, your words flatter me.  (Flirty smile from Maura)
Jane: (looks General up and down with disdain)  I like your pretend accent.
Maura: It’s quite authentic.  Colonial Americans spoke Roddick English in a variety of regional dialects… Scott’s Irish, West Country.
Jane: (mutters) Where is the coffee?


Korsak: (hand on his chest, drops it) Hey doc I was wondering, uh--
Maura: Are you alright?
Korsak: Yea.  Buddy of mine’s been having some chest pain.
Maura: Didn’t you just have a physical?
Korsak: How’d you know it was me?  (Maura head tilt, smile)  Doctor says I’m fine, so why am I short of breath?  I’ve been eating better, getting some exercise and I feel worse.
Maura: Are you experiencing dizziness, lightheadedness? 
Korsak: Maybe a little.
Maura: (nods) I want you to see a cardiac specialist.
(Morgue door opens, Korsak motions to keep quiet)


Jane: (to Maura who is walking with her iPad out)  C’mon Maura.  Shoe sale about to close?
Maura: I’m plugging in empirical data to back extrapolate the pre-impact orientation of the bullet.
Jane: Okay.  See that laser?  It does the same thing.
Maura: I’m very good at trigonometry.
Jane: What a relief.
Maura: Once you input the type of bullet, approximate the density of the cannon… it appears the shooter was 243.84cm off the ground.
Jane: Oh you mean up there?  (pointing to tree where laser is pointing)
Maura: Excuse e moi.  (slips heels off, addresses Frost)  Can you give me a boost?
Frost: Oh, uh, okay.
Jane: Maura!  No.  Frost!  I can get the Crime Scene Techs here, alright?
Maura: (climbing tree, smiling) Oh no.  I was Best Tree Climber year 6 at my Boarding School.  Detective Frost, can you hand me my kit?
Frost: Yea.  Here ya go.
Jane: You look ridiculous.
Maura: I’m collecting forensic evidence.  Give me ridiculousness or give me death.
Jane: (smirking) Jokes are supposed to be funny.  Remember, Thomas Payne?
Maura: Patrick Henry.


General: Sugar was a true luxury item in 1774.
Jane: Imagine what they would’ve charged for splenda.


Maura: (answers phone while walking) What?!  No!  Yes.  Okay, yes.  Bye.
Jane: UPS lose your shoes?
Maura: No, it’s my mother.  She’s a day early.  She caught a ride in a friend’s jet.
Jane: (at a loss) Those pesky jets.
Maura: Oh my God!  What are we gonna do?!  (Lamaze breathing)
Jane: Well first of all, stop doing that.
Maura: Pig’s trotters take two days to marinate!  (panicking) And we’re in the middle of a case!  What do I do?!  (puts two fingers to her neck)  Vaso constriction.  Hypo capia.
Jane: Okay.  Please.  Get a hold of yourself.  C’mon.  (leading Maura into headquarters)  Alright.


Jane: (to Angela) Stanley around?
Angela: No, he took a personal day.
Jane: Good.  Can you cook a 3 course dinner here?
Maura: 11.
Jane: ELEVEN?!
Maura: Hors d’oeuvre, portage, porsant, entrees--
Jane: Sandwiches, peanut butter and fluff or takeout.
Maura: What about releve, sorbet, rotelegume.
Jane: Oh sure, Maur, we’ll just call Stanley in.
Maura: (panicked breathing again, fingers to neck)  Okay.  Chef Renault.  From Misone della’ Mer.  He will help.  You just tell him that it’s for me.  (hands Angela her AMEX)
Angela: Sure.


Jane: Hey!  You want some more practice at Detective work?
Frankie: You want pizza or a sub?
Jane: (laughing)  I want you to answer my phone for me.


Maura: (inspecting place settings on table) My mother is famous for her dinner parties.
Angela: The apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
Maura: Oh no, I couldn’t possibly live up to her.  I mean, she’ll spot takeout in a second.
Angela: Stop worrying!  You’re the perfect daughter!  (Jane walks in)  And you’re late!
Jane: I’m not perfect.  Darn.  (puts box on table)  Cannolis.
Angela: (gasps) What are you doing?!  (picking up pastry box) We already have dessert.  Besides, cannolis aren’t sophisticated.
Jane: Well neither are we.  I got ‘em for you.
Angela: Oh.  (warm smile)  You got them for me?
Jane: Yea.
Angela: You’re the perfect daughter.


(Doorbell rings)
Angela: Okay, don’t worry.
Jane: (gently grabs Maura’s elbow as she walks by fussing) You look beautiful, c’mon.
Maura: (stops before the door, looks back at Rizzoli women, smiles and mouths “Okay?”)  Hello mother.
Constance: Hello darling.  You look well.
Maura: (smiles, softly breathes her words) Thank you.
Jane: (mumbling to Angela) Country mice meet city mice.
Angela: Oh my God, she’s gorgeous!  Stand up straight, Jane.
Jane: Oh crap!  I got cannoli oil on my shirt!
Jane and Angela: Hello!


Angela: I find that fascinating.
Jane: What do you know about post-war modernism?
Angela: I know a lot about the objectification of the (gesturing hour glass shape of woman) female form.
Jane: Good point.  (laughs)
Angela: (mumbling) Elbows off the table.
Jane: What?  (readjusts quickly) Oh.  (mouths to Angela) I thought I was perfect.


Jane: (sincerely) It’s so great that you found time in your busy schedule to come here to Boston and visit your daughter.
Constance: Oh, I’m actually here for an installation opening.
(Maura keeps a smile on her face, looks down)


Maura: Let’s have dessert.  I made (something French).  Your favorite.  (Constance smiles stiffly)
Jane: (hint of sarcasm) Try a cannoli.  They’re my Ma’s favorite.
Constance: (speaks French to Maura; Jane shoots Angela an annoyed look)
Maura: She says she’s sorry.
Jane: She’s tired.  Yes, I know.
Maura: I didn’t know you spoke French.
Jane: I read body language.  (Angela kicks her under the table)
Constance: (rising from table) It was lovely to meet you both.
Jane: You too.
Maura: (aside to her mother)  I thought you were staying.  I prepared the Guest Houst for you.
Constance: Darling, didn’t I mention?  The gallery organized for me to stay at the Ritz.  And I already checked in.
Maura: (hurt look on her face, then a quick smile) Of course.
Constance:  But I will see you tomorrow evening for the welcoming dinner, and you’ll be my date.
Maura: (sincere, sweet smile) Sounds lovely.
Constance: (to Jane and Angela) Please come to the opening.  Just call the gallery and have them put you on the list.
Jane: The list?  Yea, sure.


Jane: (struggling to comfort Maura) Wow.  She is, so, um, put together.
Maura: (whispering) She’s, hard to get to know.
Jane: Oh, I think I got a pretty good idea.


Jane: (to Angela cleaning the kitchen) Ma, really?!  With the pots and the pans?!  Cincinnati can hear you!  (quietly to Maura)  See?  You could have that for a mother.  Nosy, and loud.
Maura: (sadly) Warm.  Involved.
Jane: (softly) The grass is always greener.
Maura: Yea.  (closes her eyes, hand to her head)
Jane: You know, I used to dream that I was adopted.
Maura: (sadly) Really?
Jane: Yea.  And my pretend mom was chic and glamorous, and educated.
Maura: I always wondered what it’d be like to have a mother who cut the crust off my sandwiches.
Jane: An-noy-ing.
(RizzIsles warm, sad smiles)


Maura: (laughing) I think they should call him the sniper who couldn’t shoot straight.  Get it?  Because he keeps missing?
Jane: (smiling) Yea, it’s funny.  It’s a good joke, Maur.
Maura: (surprised) Really?  (off Jane’s face)  Oh.  Oh.


Jane: Who is this guy?!  Snipers shoot to kill!  This guy’s missed people both times.  Is he trying to send a message?!
Maura: The message is perfectly clear: I need target practice.  (proudly smiles and laughs)
Jane: Okay.  You do your job so I can do mine.
Maura: (straight face, slightly annoyed) Yes.  Of course, Detective.
Jane: (softly)  Maura, I’m sorry.
Maura: It’s not you.
Jane: Is it your mother?
Maura: (deep breath)  It’s just, it’s hard to have her here and not see her.  Ya know, when I was little, I wanted to be with her all the time. 
Jane: I wanted to be on Mars.  Alone.  (mock mother tone)  Jane, did you do your homework?  Jane, did you clean your room?  Jane, Ja--.  (Maura smiles with adoration)  I mean, she LIVES to hover.  The woman was a helicopter mother before they even invented the term.  C’mon… let’s get you ready for your artsy fartsy dinner with your globe-trotting mother.


(RizzIsles both get calls from their mothers)
Jane: My mother’s having a bird emergency.
Maura: Mine’s changing dinner plans.  C’mon, let’s go help.


Angela: So I went to check up on Starsky, after the lunch rush.
Jane: You took care of a sick parakeet around food?
Angela: Of course not!  I put him by a sack of yams in the pantry.  You, you’ve gotta help me.  Sergeant Korsak will never forgive me if something happens to him.
Maura: (Looks into box, closes lid)  Can you get me a bowl of hot water and some towels?
Angela: Okay. (walking away)
Jane: Can you really save him?
Maura: No!  I just didn’t want your mother to see him die.  Looks like Avian Flu.
Jane: (jumping backwards)  Avian Flu?!  What the hell?!
Maura: (looking back into box)  You can only contract it if you ingest his feces or give him mouth-to-mouth.
Jane: (holding hand up) Stop.
Maura: Korsak’s here.  (walks into back with bird, Jane distracts him)


Jane: Well, it’s a, bad time.  Ma is giving him a bird bath.  (“REALLY?!” face from Maura in the background)  But the wake, we should go.
Korsak: We have to wear period costumes or they won’t let us in.
Maura: I have wonderful contacts at the historical society.
Jane: No, you can’t go.  You have dinner with your mom.  (Off Maura’s face)  Or no you don’t.  She called and cancelled didn’t she?
Maura: (at a momentary loss, dejected face) It’s not her fault.  The dinner was a private affair.  No guests. 
Korsak: You’re not a guest!  You’re her daughter!
(Maura sadly looks down, Jane shoots Korsak a look)
Jane: You should come with us.  Okay, it’d be great to have your, historical, society, contacts.


Jane: Where’s Starsky?  (Maura pats her lab coat pocket)  He’s dead?  And you put him in your—ugghhh.  Where’s Ma?
Maura: I told her I’d take care of him.
Jane: You lied.
Maura: (offended) No!  No, I just didn’t say that I was taking care of his funeral arrangements.


(Homicide Team and Maura enter wake dressed in 1700’s attire)
Jane: I can’t believe I let you talk me into wearing this!  I don’t think this thing’s been washed since 1776.
Maura: You’re just not used to the woolsy fabric.  I told you to wear the silk polynese.
Jane: Oh yea, the whale bones digging into my bones would’ve been much more comfortable.


Maura: (raising her “glass” for the toast) It’s like we stepped back in time.  (sips beer, spits it out)  18th Century beer sucks!
Jane: (laughing)  You made a joke!


Korsak: Your mother’s a regular Florence Nightingale, Jane.  It’s a miracle what she did.  Starsky’s never looked better!
Jane: Starsky’s better?!
Korsak: You look surprised.
Jane: M—no.  She does have a healer’s touch.  (Korsak puts cracker into his mouth)  Yum.  What are we eating now?  What is that, dirt covered Styrofoam?!
Korsak: Low carb, gluten free, high fiber.
Jane: Ew, no thank you.  (pushes back; Maura walks in all dressed up)  Oh!  Why are we so fancy?!
Maura: I am going to my mother’s gallery opening.
Jane: Oh, she gonna put you on the list?
Maura: We can get in.
Jane: Who’s “we”?
Maura: (grabs cracker box from Korsak) How long have you been eating these?
Korsak: Couple weeks.  Part of my whole new health regime.
Maura: (laughs)  It’s not a heart attack, Sergeant.
Jane and Frost: WHAT?!
Maura: It’s gas.  And given the fiber content, I imagine quite a lot.
Frost: (laughs)  He’s been making enough to float the Hindenburg.
Maura: (laughs)  Hydrogen gas was unfairly blamed for that.  Human gas is actually a mixture.  Hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane.  Most people produce about a half a liter a day.
Jane: (laughing)  Well exactly how much fart gas is Korsak making?
Maura: Probably, (giggles) twice that amount.
(Jane and Frost push their chairs back)
Korsak: Would you rather I had a heart attack?!
Maura: Just stay away from those crackers and beans and you’ll be fine.  (to Jane, sweetly)  I was hoping you’d go to the installation with me.
Jane: Oh, god, Maura.  I, I wish I could, but, no.
Frost: She loves Modern Art!  (smirking)  Ya know what, Jane, we got this.  You go.
Korsak: Yea go.  We know how much you like (Maura smiles excitedly) these fresh ideas and crazy colors and cubes and things.
Maura: (poking Jane, smile beaming) I’m so glad you’ve opened your mind to it.
Frost: You two have fun now.
Jane: (beaming sarcastic smile) Thanks guys.  (stands up and leaves with Maura)


Jane: How did Starsky make such a miraculous recovery?
Maura: Luckily the pet store carries parakeets.


Door guy at Gallery: I’m sorry, this is a private gathering.
Jane: Oh, this is Dr. Maura Isles.  She’s the artist’s daughter.  (guy searches list)  Really?!  She couldn’t even be bothered to put you on the list.
Maura: She was busy.  She said she’d try.
Guy: (checking list) Yea, I don’t see you.
Jane: (holding up badge) See me now?!  Detective Jane Rizzoli.
Guy: Yea.  (moves out of way)  Go ahead.


Jane: Hanging water bottles is art?!
Maura: It’s an iconic representation of the deconstruction of our food chain as a symbol of neo urbanity.
Jane: I could do that.
Maura: Yes, but then it wouldn’t be art.  (smiling)


Constance: Hello darling!  You made it!
Jane: Sorry we had to crash.  Your daughter wasn’t on the list.
Constance: Oh sorry.  (to Maura)  Sorry.
Maura: (gesturing to hanging water bottles) Mother, it’s exquisite.  It’s both witty and full of pathos.
Constance: It is, isn’t it.
Jane: Oh, it is.


Constance: So nice to see you again, Jane.
Jane: You too.  Maura, would you mind getting us something to drink?  I’d love to get to know your mother better.  (suspicious look from Maura)
Maura: (smiles) Um, sure.  Excuse me. (walks away)
Constance: Nice of you to come.
Jane: Thank you.  I love your hanging water bottles.  They make me feel very guilty and I’ll never buy water again.
Constance: I can see why Maura likes you.  You’re direct.  It’s kind of refreshing.
Jane: I’m protective.  Maura’s my best friend.
Constance: I sense, um, that there’s something you’d like to say to me.
Jane: Yea.  There is.  I don’t like seeing my best friend hurt.
Constance: You think I hurt her?
Jane: (in disbelief) Not staying with her.  Cancelling dinner.  Forgetting to put her on the list or your installation-- yea.  I think that hurts her.
Constance: She’s the Chief Medical Examiner.  She has her own life.  You’re both out there working an important case.  It’s all over the news.  I don’t want to be in her way.  (Jane rolls her eyes)  She must know how proud I am of her.  How much I love her.
Jane: Not really the signals you’re sending.  It seems to me like you were too busy while she was growing up and now you’re blaming her for being too busy.
Constance: (hurt, regretful look)  I was, I was never any good at it.
Jane: At what?
Constance: Being a mother.  I feel like I just, I missed so much.
Jane: (sincerely)  Why don’t you just tell her that?
(Gallery Guy comes to escort Constance to a podium)
Constance: Would you excuse me?  (walks away)


(Eating peanuts at the Dirty Robber)
Angela: You cannot believe how healthy Starsky is!
Jane: Didn’t you find he had more turquoise feathers after he recovered?  (Maura kicks her under the table)  Ouch!
Angela: What’s the matter?
Jane: Gas, pains.  (shoots Maura a look)
Angela: Really?
Maura: (seeing her mother walk into the bar) My mother’s here.  I thought she was in Paris. 
Jane: (matter of factly) She forgot to say goodbye.  (Smiles at Maura; Maura and Angela smile back adoringly)
Constance: May I join you?
Maura: (warm smile, standing up) Mother.  What a lovely surprise!
Constance: Hello darling.  I couldn’t go without seeing you one more time.
Maura: (beaming, takes her mother in) Sit.
Jane: (clearing peanuts off table) Um, here.
Constance: Oh don’t worry, don’t worry.  I’m not THAT fussy.  (Angela hands her a napkin; Constance cleans table)
Jane: Hm, strange.  I wonder where Maura gets it.  (clears throat)  You like greasy hamburgers?
Constance: Actually, I’d love a hamburger.  It’s been years.  (Maura smiles, stunned)
Jane: Good.  This place has really good ones ever since the Health Department shut it down.
Constance: The Health Department?
Jane: Mmhm.
Maura: Mom, it’s a joke.  She likes to kid.
Constance: (seeing waitress bring food to another table)  Milkshake.  I haven’t had one for ages.  Oh god, I love them.
Maura: (looks to Jane, then back)  Really?  I, I didn’t know that.
Constance: No?
Angela: I would like one.  Strawberry.
Jane: Since when do you like milkshakes?
Angela: (gritting teeth) Since now.
Jane: Alright, I’m having a beer.
Constance: A beer milkshake?
Jane: Yes!  Um, yes.  A Beer Milkshake.  It’s what all the mooks here in Boston drink.
Angela: Okay, okay.  She’s kidding.  She’s kidding.  It’s another joke. 
Jane: (Constance smiles)  I can certainly see the family resemblance.
Maura: I can see the family resemblance too.
Angela: (excited) You do?
Maura: Yes!  The two of you are so much alike!  (Jane kicks her under the table)  OW!
Angela and Constance: What is it?
Jane and Maura: Nothing.
