"You gotta know the darker, uglier sides of yourself. You gotta recognise them so they’re not constantly sneaking up on you, you gotta love them because they’re part of you. Because along with your virtues, they make you who you are. Virtue isn’t virtue unless it slams up against vice, so consequently, your virtue is not real virtue, until it’s been tested. Tempted."

"And, uh, my name’s Clark Johnson and I played, uh, let me think—Meldrick, the inimitable Meldrick Lewis. And I decided that I would boldly do this commentary without having seen this show since 1996 when it aired." [Anya Epstein laughs] "So this is, uh, hopefully a pleasure for me."

—Clark Johnson, audio commentary for HLOTS 4x10, “The Hat”

[Bolander sees bird droppings on his car]

Det. Stan Bolander: Would you look at this? Pigeons!

Det. John Munch: Not from a pigeon, it's from a waterfowl.

Det. Stan Bolander: A what?

Det. John Munch: A waterfowl. From a mallard.

Det. Stan Bolander: A duck?

Det. John Munch: A well-fed duck.

Det. Stan Bolander: Right, like you can tell the difference. That couldn't come from a seagull, I suppose?

Det. John Munch: No, gulls have a milky white splurter. Notice the lobular pattern, these splays within splays.

Det. Stan Bolander: Munch... why do you know these things?

Munch: Where is my old Stanley? I can’t get up in the morning, I can’t face the day unless i know he’s going to be more miserable than me! The whole world is out of whack Gee, you gotta do something.

Giardello: Like what?

Munch: Order him to be miserable again! […] There’s gotta be something on the books to forbid happiness. It’s unprofessional!

I love this show.
