Quotations

Well, their poster child doesn't know it yet, but she's into me.

I guess I'll see you around...'same bat time' or whatever.

[to Janet] Remember when you got drunk and nearly got the chancellor of Bulgaria killed? I covered for you!

[to Lucy] I'm here because I feel more like me when I'm with you, than I do when I'm with me.

I think love should be irresistible, like a drug, you know? I think when it happens you should just not be able to help yourself. I just - I wanted... more. Dominique: You're not as boring as I thought. But you're not as bright, either.

Mr Phipps: You are a perfect liar.

Scud: Knock 'em dead... but not really.

Janet: Have you seen my gun?

They're crime-fighting hotties with killer bodies.
