- Adam Ross: [Adam is waiting in Mac's office when he enters] Was it, um, the paper airplanes or, or the dancing? It was the dancing, wasn't it? I mean, I, I, don't have to dance and look I know I say "What up" a lot and I'll definitely limit the number of times that I say it, but you just need to tell me, Boss, what I need to do and what I don't need to do and I'll do it or I won't do it, you know, 'cause this...
- Detective Mac Taylor: [interrupting] Adam, Adam, take a breath. What are you talking about?
- Adam Ross: You don't know?
- Detective Mac Taylor: Know what?
- Adam Ross: Um, you're letting me go.
- [Hands Mac a paper]
- Adam Ross: In a month. I got one month left. You don't happen to know anyone who's looking for a dedicated yet quirky yet, uh, devastatingly handsome lab geek, do ya? 'Cause I could...
- Detective Mac Taylor: This isn't about your job performance, Adam. I knew there'd be cuts. You're just a low man on the totem pole carved by people trying to justify their jobs.
- Adam Ross: For what it's worth, sir, it means a lot knowing that the decision didn't come from you.
- Detective Mac Taylor: You're not going anywhere. I'll take care of this. Go back to work.
- Detective Danny Messer: [Enters Mac's office] Yo, Boss.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Danny, what's up?
- Detective Danny Messer: I put in for that vacation next month.
- Detective Mac Taylor: That's right, the, uh, trip to Costa Rica.
- Detective Danny Messer: Yeah, Costa Rica. Well it fell through, so you can put me back on the schedule, alright?
- Detective Mac Taylor: Alright, I'll do that. Just let me know when you wanna take the time.
- Detective Danny Messer: Alright, thanks.
- [Leaves the office]
- Detective Lindsay Monroe: [Enters Mac's office] Mac. Hey. Remember that wedding in Italy I told you about in March?
- Detective Mac Taylor: Girlfriend from college?
- Detective Lindsay Monroe: Very good. Well, they decided to postpone. So.
- Detective Mac Taylor: You want back on the schedule?
- Detective Lindsay Monroe: Yeah.
- Detective Mac Taylor: [Suspicious look] No problem.
- Detective Lindsay Monroe: Thanks.
- [Leaves the office]
- Dr. Sheldon Hawkes: [Enters Mac's office] Hey Mac.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Hold on. Don't tell me. Trip to San Francisco in January?
- Dr. Sheldon Hawkes: Yeah. Turns out San Francisco is closed in January. Strangest thing.
- Detective Mac Taylor: [Smiling] Get out of here. Go home.
- [Hawkes leaves and Stella enters]
- Detective Mac Taylor: I should've known you'd orchestrate something like this.
- Detective Stella Bonasera: It's only temporary. Everybody giving up a week of paid vacation for Adam buys him a little time.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Department doesn't just transfer vacation days. How'd you do it?
- Detective Stella Bonasera: I've a friend at the Union who has a friend in the City Council who has a friend who has a friend.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Well you're a good friend, Stella Bonasera.
- Detective Mac Taylor: And don't you forget that.
- Detective Mac Taylor: So what about Buenos Aires?
- Detective Stella Bonasera: Would of been a good trip.
- Detective Mac Taylor: You're a good friend, Stella Bonasera.
- Detective Stella Bonasera: [smiling] And don't you forget that.
- Detective Danny Messer: What's the deal with your funny money?
- Dr. Sheldon Hawkes: The value of the fake dollar just went up.
- ADA Natalie Greer: Stanton, Labranche, and Jones were going down and they knew it. Week before trial they tried to make a deal on a pusher with a couple of bodies attached to him.
- Detective Mac Taylor: You get a name?
- ADA Natalie Greer: Didn't get that far. Told them putting three drug dealing murderers back on the street in exchange for one defied logic.
- Detective Mac Taylor: What was their response to that?
- ADA Natalie Greer: They wanted to know what "defied" meant.
