Unsolvable

Unsolvable
Season 1, Episode 21 - Aired March 18, 2014

When Jake gets the weekend off after a run of solving cases, he spends his time attempting to solve an unsolvable case. Meanwhile, Amy deceives the Captain to get time off work for a romantic weekend, while Gina and Rosa let Charles in to their secret bathroom.

Quote from Charles

Jake: Well, let's bust out the polygraph.
Charles: Lie detector truth or dare.
Jake: No. Boyle, last time we did that, you ended up telling everyone you had a crush on the tea pot from Beauty and the Beast.
Charles: It's the way they drew her.

Quote from Charles

Charles: Thing is, it's so hard to talk at work because there's no privacy. The roof is freezing, the holding cell is full of perps, and their romantic advice is not great. It's always to tell Vivian, "bitch, get your life right!" I tried it. She did not like it.

Quote from Captain Holt

Captain Holt: Do you want to know how I actually hurt my wrist?
Jake: Yes.
Captain Holt: I was hula hooping. Kevin and I attend a class for fitness and for fun.
Jake: Oh, my God.
Captain Holt: I've mastered all the moves. [Shows photos on phone] The pizza toss, the tornado, the scorpion, the oopsie-doodle.
Jake: Why are you telling me this?
Captain Holt: Because no one will ever believe you. [Deletes photos from phone]
Jake: You sick son of a bitch.

Quote from Sergeant Jeffords

Sergeant Jeffords: Or is your favorite artist really Taylor Swift?
Jake: (Scoffs) No.
Technician: Lie.
Jake: All right, fine, she is. She makes me feel things.
Sergeant Jeffords: She makes all of us feel things!

Quote from Sergeant Jeffords

Sergeant Jeffords: Bad news. I only found his wife, and she hasn't heard from him in eight years.
Jake: That doesn't sound good.
Sergeant Jeffords: Yeah, that's why I started by saying, "Bad News". Terry believes in having a clear topic sentence.

Quote from Amy

Amy: I may be a liar, but I've got great teeth and no one can take that from me.
Dentist: Have you heard of over-brushing?
Amy: Oh, no.
Dentist: Your aggressive technique has stripped away the protective enamel and much of your gum. You have seven cavities.
Captain Holt: I have to say. I feel like you deserve this.

Quote from Charles

Charles: Talking to Vivian. We're still trying to figure out if we should move to Canada. It's awful. Thank God, it hasn't affected how much we bathe together.
Rosa: Almost never?
Charles: All the time.

Quote from Gina

Gina: What? No. Babylon's the best thing in my life. And I have a very full life. Do you know I know Papa John? The Papa John.
Rosa: Someone is lying to you.

Quote from Amy

Amy: Hello, Captain, my old friend. I've come to talk with you again. I've lapsed into song lyrics.

Quote from Sergeant Jeffords

Jake: Good news, sergeant. I figured out what we're gonna work on this weekend.
Sergeant Jeffords: I'm working on spending time with my family. We're having a fancy tea party. I am the king of Origami napkins.

Quote from Jake

Sergeant Jeffords: That case almost killed us.
Jake: But I'm on a hot streak. Plus, we're better detectives now. We're smarter. Computers are faster. No more Blockbuster. Drones. I'm feeling it.

Quote from Jake

Jake: What's the best moment of your life?
Sergeant Jeffords: My wedding day, tied with the day my babies were born.
Jake: Compared to this, those memories will be garbage.
Sergeant Jeffords: You don't know what you're saying.
Jake: Because I'm not married and I don't have kids, right?

Quote from Scully

Rosa: Are those thumbtacks? What the hell, Scully?
Scully: I thought they'd make good confetti.
Sergeant Jeffords: Why?

Quote from Charles

Rosa: Gina, enough. Boyle needed the bathroom so we told him about it. Just like I told you when you needed it. Leave him alone. He saved my life. Plus, he's pitiful and his life is crap right now.
Charles: Yeah, it is. Thank you, Rosa.

Quote from Sergeant Jeffords

Jake: I have not slept in since I last saw you many hours. Plus, I think I'm hallucinating, because your I'm pretty sure I just heard your biceps mocking me.
Sergeant Jeffords: No, that's possible. My biceps mock a lot of people.

Quote from Jake

Jake: I found a cold case of ours that everyone foolishly said was unsolvable. Case 52ABX DASH 32QJ.
Sergeant Jeffords: Jake, case 52ABX DASH 32QJ is unsolvable.
Jake: Or maybe case 52ABX DASH 32QJ is waiting for someone to de-unsolve it.
Scully: What's case 52ABX DASH 32QJ?
Jake: Case 52ABX ...we gotta find a way to abbreviate this thing.

Quote from Gina

Gina: Okay, but if you do lie, you can't go wrong with dental emergency. Or death of a triplet. Now, that one you can use twice. Smart.

Quote from Jake

Jake: A real man doesn't run from a challenge. I mean, do they run from the bulls in Pamplona?
Sergeant Jeffords: Yes. That's the whole point of it.
Jake: Seriously? That seems lame.

Quote from Rosa

Rosa: We put a lot effort into making this place nice. Look, weird crystals.

Quote from Jake

Captain Holt: This took a lot of hard work and a lot of late nights. Take the weekend off, Perlata.
Jake: Thank you. You know, I actually might. I'm severely sleep deprived and I'm way behind on laundry.

Quote from Sergeant Jeffords

Charles: Could be a sports injury. I sprained my wrist in college playing field hockey.
Sergeant Jeffords: Men's field hockey?
Charles: Yeah. It's much more violent than the women's game. We're not allowed to wear anything that protects our breasts.

Quote from Gina

Jake: So he didn't say what happened, which can only mean one thing.
Gina: He's in a fight club.

Quote from Jake

Amy: What are you doing this weekend?
Jake: Oh, opposite of the Berkshires. Workshires. Working. Whole weekend. Fighting crime.
Scully: I thought you were taking the weekend off to do your laundry.
Jake: Does crime take the weekend off to do its laundry, Scully?
Scully: No, it doesn't. Sorry.

Quote from Gina

Gina: No, it's not okay. Babylon hath fallen. Charles betrayed us and I will make him pay for it.

Quote from Charles

Charles: If I was a unicorn, I'd never be angry.

Quote from Jake

Jake: Now I'm telling my friend how you killed that guy.
Perp: It was for love.
Jake: Cool motive. Still murder.

Quote from Amy

Amy: Dental emergency. I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled.
Captain Holt: Wow. You must be in a lot of pain.
Amy: Yeah. I've been in pain for days.
Captain Holt: I had no idea you were living like this.
Amy: No one knows. I am a rock. I am an island. I have lapsed into song lyrics again.

Quote from Amy

Captain Holt: My brother-in-law is one of the top oral surgeons in the quint-state area.
Amy: That's two better than the tri-state.

Quote from Scully

Charles: Since when are you two in to being such good detectives?
Scully: Since it came to secret bathrooms.

Quote from Charles

Gina: Plus, the toilet paper is triple ply.
Charles: It turns anyone's bottom into a VIP.

Quote from Gina

Gina: Or you could just lie to Captain Holt. That's my policy for everything and it always works.

Quote from Jake

Jake: No. He did it doing something he's embarrassed by. Like smiling. Only question is how do you hurt your arm smiling.

Quote from Gina

Charles: Look, I'm sorry. You let me into your special place.
Gina: Ew.

Quote from Gina

Gina: What's this weekend?
Amy: We rented a cabin in the Berkshires. We're taking a couple's cooking class and there's this great antiques fair.
Gina: Sounds like you two have a wonderful lesbian vacation planned.
