Snake Eyes, Part 1 [2.01]

 * Ronnie Fletcher: Other hotels have conventions, they get in plumbers, carpenters, you know what we get here? Forensic pathologists, they have a whole name, you know what that is? Coroners. Coroners, the guys in movies that go 'hmmm, guy's hanging by his neck, has a bullet hole in him, and an ice pick in his ear, I suspect it's foul play'.


 * Dr. Quincy: [after a patient dies mysteriously] Right now he's just number one, but if we don't get to the bottom of this, it'll be a hundred and one.

 * Dr. Quincy: Every year 2 million kids are beat up by their parents, 2 thousand of them end up on slabs.


 * Dr. Quincy: Do you know how many autopsies I've done on children like Joey? Too many, I can't even look at their faces any more. I have to have their faces covered before I begin.


 * Dr. Quincy: If this doesn't stop, there's an 80% chance when Joey grows up he'll beat his kids and his kids will beat their kids!


 * Lt. Frank Monahan: If you had a single eyewitness, Quincy, I could help you. But those are the rules.
 * Dr. Quincy: The rules are for the child beaters and not the children. Alright, you want a witness? I'll get you a witness, I'll find somebody who saw what happened and deliver them into your lap!
