No matter what happens, Major Crimes will not quit until we find the bad guys. This team...we are part of the greatest police department in America and with the the people standing here, I could go on doing this job forever.

Sanchez
Rusty: Is he dead?
Provenza: You shot him five times. Of course he’s dead. Good thing he had a weapon or it would be murder.
Rusty: It was self defense. I only shot him cause he was going for his gun. He wasn’t gonna -

Provenza: Where do you think you’re going?
Rusty: I’m going to find Tammy Bechtel.
Provenza: No! Stop! You don’t have a security detail. If you leave this building I can’t answer for your safety!
Rusty: I’m not staying here. I’m doing this with or without you.
Provenza: Stop. [To Gus] Stop him. Just for a minute.
Flynn: Do you want Stroh caught or do you want this done by any means possible? If he throws down his weapon, puts his hands above his head, the autopsy will show that. Who else can take that shot? I promised Sharon -

Ella: Help!
Stroh: That’s enough. Help me, help me, they’ve heard that all before. Now the question is, are you going to spend resources saving this useless hooker or are you going to find me? Because I’m leaving. Tell Rusty I’m looking forward to our time together. Now you see me, now you don’t.

Gus: What? Homeless? Hungry? Abused?

Nolan: I drove up to San Jose and took RIcky Raydor’s keys from a valet stand -- gotta return those with an apology. Then I rented a LAPD costume from Western Costumes, doctored it up to look like the real thing, and walked right past SIS.

Howard: You really think if Stroh had the opportunity to kill you, he wouldn’t take it?
Rusty: I’m not his objective.
We need to double time it.We’re very close! [pause] And way way way too far behind.
Tao
Gus: You know, I have note taking apps on my phone. You can download them.
