Quotes

• NICK:   So, now you're Tracy's snitch.
  VACHON:   She told you?
  NICK:   She didn't have to. Did you get a good look at the attacker?
  VACHON:   No. And with the camera on me, I couldn't do more than was humanly possible, if you catch my drift.

• VACHON:   I love women.

• TRACY:   Hey, Vinnie. What's going on?
  VACHON:   Looks like the deal went south. The fat man had his guys ice Thursby and then he took off with the bird.
  JERRY:   Great! This sounds so street!
  CHARLIE:   I don't know. To me, it sounds familiar.

• VACHON: Things were so much simpler in the old days.
  LaCROIX:   They need be no more complicated today, as long as we are true to our nature. Operate discreetly.

Nightcrawler Monologue

Love. How it toys with us, makes utter fools of us, flogs, whips, and spanks us. Listen to the voices of the unloved as they surge and retreat in the night. Whispered in empty rooms and lonely beds, the hunger of love unattained, rushing through our fingers, unstoppable, fleeting, gone. And yet, when we touch this love it burns us with its bright flame, it punishes and consumes. And yet we must have it. It rules us: uses, abuses, misuses. And yet, why do we always crawl back for more?

Notes

Behind the Scenes

The German title for this episode is "Talkshow des Todes" ("Talk Show of Death").

Trivia

• The Jerry Show is a possible homage to The Jerry Springer Show which probably hit its peak around that time and had several controversial episodes about who was whose lover.
• Capt. Reese complains that the murder of Maggie Dwyer, who had recently been on the Jerry Show, will become "another Jenny Jones three-ring circus", a reference to a March 1995 murder[1] linked to an appearance on the Jenny Jones Show.
