It occurred to me, on reading through the Top Moments threads, how many great and memorable moments were tied to a specific line of dialogue. Case in point, Sonny's classic "Smell me!" Want to try for the all-time top line of Blind Justice dialogue? Want to compile a list of fifteen and then do a Shmeep-style poll? Hey, why not? I'll start, and since I'm a bossy old admin I'll do two: 1. There's just one thing I want to know . . . what do you look like? 2. There. I said it. So copy/paste and add to the list. I double dog dare ya.  |

1. There's just one thing I want to know . . . what do you look like?
2. There. I said it.
3. I will make this work. Believe it.
And now, to editorialize - I like the third line because of what it shows us about Jim: the determination, the bravado in the face of others' doubts and his own, the "don't fuck with me" attitude.

And I also love it because it is part of a the most delicious exchange with The Good Doctor. Bless you all for playing and I might as well add a great line from . . . can it be? . . . another line from The Pilot? We're going to be at 15 in no time at all! (I will give bjobsessed the pleasure of contributing the final line of UotR.) 1. There's just one thing I want to know . . . what do you look like? 2. There. I said it. 3. I will make this work. Believe it. 4. You have to do this now? You have to do this today? 5. I am not a civilian aide: I'm a detective. All I want is a chance.  |

Brilliant idea - screencaps to go along with the lines!! I just added mine. And look...there's one of those rooster nestled on the countertop. 1. There's just one thing I want to know . . . what do you look like? 2. There. I said it. 3. I will make this work. Believe it. 4. You have to do this now? You have to do this today?  5.

I don't have the link to pull the screencaps, but here are a couple of my favorite lines:
"You're still my man and you still got the gun."
"It's a good thing we're not dogs."
