  Det. John Munch : You mean you had a near death experience?

  Det. Tim Bayliss : Oh, no, not near death. I, uh, actually died.

  Det. John Munch : You mean you were going towards a bright light and all your ancestors were waving "howdy"?

  Det. Tim Bayliss : No... It was more like I, uh... more like I could feel all the... I don't know, the different... parts of me, the... elements that make up my physical presence - water, air, earth - I could feel them... breaking apart, dissipating... Yeah, becoming one with, um... The greatest force of energy in the universe.

  Det. John Munch : Tim, this zen detective thing is starting to really rub my rectum the wrong way.

  Det. Tim Bayliss : Oh. I don't expect you to understand unless you understand, John.

  Det. John Munch : See, that's exactly what I'm talking about.

  Det. Tim Bayliss : What?

  Det. John Munch : It's like being partner with a fortune cookie.

• Det. Tim Bayliss : So... what, G's father was Italian and his mother was black?

  Det. John Munch : Yeah.

  Det. Tim Bayliss : Must've been tough.

  Det. John Munch : What?

  Det. Tim Bayliss : Y'know, growing up half-breed, being accepted, figuring out what your loyalties are.

  Det. John Munch : G's loyalties are to the Baltimore PD.

  Det. John Munch : You sure about that?

  Det. John Munch : No. Did you know he was prom king?

  Det. Tim Bayliss : No. Did you know that his son and he haven't talked since G's wife died?

  Det. John Munch : Yes... which should make the next few moments incredibly interesting.

  Det. Tim Bayliss : Why's that?

  Det. John Munch : Here comes the son.
