Kathryn Erbe: Detective Alexandra 'Alex' Eames

Quotes 

• Robert Goren : So the Monsignor forced Theresa to have sex "quid pro quo" for giving her five days to return the money?

  Alexandra Eames : She's so remorseful, she kills herself.

  Robert Goren : Five days to return the money, she goes home and kills herself. You know, look at this. "What I have now done was the only path left for me."

  Alexandra Eames : So formal.

  Robert Goren : Yeah.

  Joseph Hannah : [arriving at the room]  Here all night?

  Alexandra Eames : You bring bagels?

  Robert Goren : See, men, women, they leave different markers when they write suicide notes. Women seem to rely more heavily on expression of feelings, like, um, thanking someone. You know, polite speech. Apologizing.

  Alexandra Eames : She was close to her parents, and they're not even mentioned.

  Robert Goren : Yes. "I acted out of greed and poor character." See, now that's a direct admission, but there's no reference to God or the Bible, or any misgivings for breaking the eighth commandment.

  Joseph Hannah : The $2.7 million question is... Why was it erased?

  Robert Goren : Yeah, I don't know. But I do know that she didn't write it.

• Alexandra Eames : You're not thinking suicide.

  Robert Goren : You are?

  Alexandra Eames : The gun could have bounced when she fell. Suicide that looks like a murder?

  Robert Goren : Or a murder that looks like a suicide.

• Alexandra Eames : [reading on a Catholic Crush website]  "God's perfect match in 60 days or your money back"? Wonder if I'm too old for Catechism class.

• Robert Goren : Well, if she stole the money, she had to have a reason.

  Alexandra Eames : Greed?

  Robert Goren : Yeah, but she lives within her means. I mean, she had three pairs of shoes in her closet.

  Alexandra Eames : Maybe she was sick of it.

• Alexandra Eames : That's a cute cat.

  Natalie Finnegan : Oh, name's Pyewacket.

  Robert Goren : [smiling]  Pyewacket? That's from a... Jimmy Stewart film. Yeah, the cat, it was Kim Novak's best friend. It's a funny movie. I think the cat was a wizard. Not very catholic.

  Natalie Finnegan : It's a cat.
