From Black Buddha I

"I guess I'm just more of a day person."

"It's like it's a big neon sign over my head. 'Commissioner's daughter. Proceed with extreme caution...'"

"I am my own person, with my own talents..."

Tracy: "I heard that you were allergic to the daylight? Phototropic, or something?"
Nick: "Yeah."
Tracy: "So why the convertible?"

"Freeze. Metro police."

"You're full of it, Vachon."

Tracy: "You were in the crash. I saw you getting away last night. Three people are unaccounted for. Two women, seated over the wing, and a 25-year-old Toronto man. No known means of support."
Vachon (smiling): "Do I look a slacker to you?"
Tracy: "What you are... I have no idea. But I'll bet you're a dead ringer for J.D. Valdez."

Tracy: "This isn't making sense."
Vachon: "Doesn't have to."

"My father hates chocolate. Says it acts like a germ collector in the throat."

Vachon: "I wish I could make you forget this, Trace."
Tracy: "I can't. I won't."


From Black Buddha II

"Get me out of this rat-infested hellhole." (to Vachon)

"You will take me out of this sewer immediately. Do you have any idea how many diseases are represented down here? Some of us can actually die from them, you know." (to Vachon)

"And who the hell is this Inka?"

"Have you ever had anything happen that's just the most incredible, the most wonderful thing... And it just.. it just turns out to be so disappointing...." (to Natalie, about Vachon)

"This is a weird world we live in."

"Night shift--it takes it out of me. I always need a good hit of coffee for the drive home."

"Well, the most incredible thing happened to me. Well, not incredible--but that's good. The most *normal* thing happened. I met this guy. This nice, everyday, average guy. Who just happens to be very... nice, and extremely good looking." (to Natalie, about her meeting Vudu-in-disguise)

"Mum's okay--it's Dad that's the killer."

From Outside the Lines

"You don't know what it's like to doubt someone you've trusted all your life."

"If I impress my father, it'll be because of something I've done, thank you."

From Blackwing

Nick: "What is it? Raven?"
Tracy: "Yeah. Power animal of the medicine man. Iktomi the Trickster bird. He was a very popular icon in native culture. He stole the sun from his brother, and gave it to the world..."
(Natalie and Nick are staring at her in surprise, so she grins.)
Tracy: "Sixth grade. Girl Guides. Merit badge in Native American culture."

"You know, my whole family's cops. When I was a little kid, I kind of thought everyone was a cop. So when I went to college, I tried pre-med, pre-law, computers. Anything but another Officer Vetter. But you know what? I am a good cop. Sometimes I think we're just meant to do what we're meant to do."

"How am I to trust you? How am I supposed to know that anything you tell me is true?" (to Vachon)

From Blind Faith

From My Boyfriend is a Vampire

Jerry: "How about this lovely young lady. What do you say to someone who says they're in love with a vampire?"
Tracy(hesitantly): "Um... They should get help?"

Nick: "You don't believe in vampires?"
Tracy: "Of course not...Do you?"

"So, sometimes it's hard to tell if you have a relationship or not. You think you have a commitment. You think you have a future. And then you realize the guy doesn't even realize there's a relationship going on to begin with..." (to Vachon)

"I mean, you can't get men to commit, and when they do, they don't. They cheat. They throw love right back in your face..."

Nick: "Hey, have you told him yetthat Jerry himself asked you to appear on the show?"
Reese: "What?"
Tracy: "Yeah. About women in dangerous, traditionally male jobs, and the crap they sometimes have to deal with."
Reese: "Hey, that little barb was aimed at me, wasn't it?"
Nick: "Oh, yeah."

"I can just see it. They'll put me in this tight spandex dress, cut up to here. And then neckline somewhere down around my waist. Four-inch spikes. Leather. Babe-cop." (to Vachon, re: her "Jerry Show" makeover)

"Now that I've expressly told you I don't need your help...I need your help." (to Vachon)

"But that's part of any relationship, isn't it? Works both ways. Sometimes we use, and sometimes we get used."

"Two women killed, and the attack on me--for *ratings?*" (to Charly)

Tracy: "Because of the horrors you sometimes see on the job, you have to learn to freeze out your emotions. Now, this can be harder for a woman than a man."
Jerry: "Is it for you?"
Tracy: "Yes. It is a constant struggle, but I do the best I can."

From Hearts of Darkness

"Guys--do we really believe she came to a place like this expecting flowers and poetry?" (to Nick and Natalie, as the camera pans around the room, showing S&M paraphernalia all around the room)

From Trophy Girl

"Captain, hear me out, okay? I killed someone. Line of duty, self-defense, whatever. I killed someone and I can handle it. What? (looking from Captain Reese to Nick and back again) I'm a rookie? A woman? What?"

"I have to prove that I can hack it here. It's part of my job."

Ingrid (re: Tracy's "date"):"Helps his cause to have a pretty girl on his arm. You know what I mean." Tracy (softly): "Trophy girl."

Tracy: "Y'know, you ought to keep that hypno-thing in your holster."
Vachon: "Sorry, it gets away from me sometimes."

"Should have taken the three days off, but no, Tracy has to keep busy..."

From Let No Man Tear Asunder

Natalie: "I, myself, am due to go under the knife as soon as my doctor can find an opening."
Tracy (with amused sarcasm): "That's your bad knee, right?"
Natalie: "Okay, okay. I know it's not as drastic as open-heart surgery, but I understand the stress."
Tracy: "Yeah. We're all praying for a miracle."

Tracy: "You know, if someone actually stole another person's heart, as ridiculous as that sounds--"
Nick: "It would be a tremendously complex conspiracy, that's for sure."
Tracy: "I mean, obviously you could not condone something like that, but if they did it for someone they really loved, it's almost understandable, isn't it?"

Vachon: "So, what is this now? Every time you run across something really weird, you run to your supernatural chum, Vachon, for the inside dope?"
Tracy: "Well, you're the only supernatural friend I have."

(Tracy has just asked Vachon to ask about black market organ transplants)
Vachon: "What kind of friends do you think I hang around with, anyway?"
Tracy: "Hey, I've met them, remember?"

"I know what it's like when someone you love is in pain."

From Night in Question

From Sons of Belial

"Are you suggesting that the Devil killed Melanie?" (to Vanderwal)

"Tell me that was all smoke and mirrors back there. That it was some very elaborate show. Like the wizard said, 'Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.'" (to Nick, re: the exorcism they witnessed)

From Strings

Tracy: "I haven't agreed to take the transfer yet, but apparently my father's telling everyone it's a done deal. I mean career-wise, it's..."
Reese: "A smart move?"
Tracy: "Maybe. But the more my father pushes, the more I don't want to do it."

"How do you reason with someone who thinks that they're always right? Sooner or later, you just give up. Let them have their way. People need to feel in control of their lives. If not, it's like a little piece of you goes crazy. Maybe that's why I always used to run to my dad for advice. I couldn't make decisions because he'd never let me learn how." (to Nick, re: her father, Commissioner Vetter)

Captain Forrest: "You should be very proud. It's not everyone who gets into our forensic accounting department."
Tracy (shocked and appalled): "Forensic accounting?"
Captain Forrest: "Oh, yes. You have to get your feet wet."
Tracy: "Yeah, but... Captain, my last assignment was homicide."
Captain Forrest: "Oh, I know this is a big challenge, but I'm sure you're up to it. "

"Don't worry, Ma'am, I wouldn't dream of using my head in here." (to arrogant new boss Captain Forrest)

Captain Forrest: "What are you doing?"
Tracy: "I'm... being insubordinate."

From Fever

"Augh. What is it about these places that always smell the same? Like they use the same cleaning service--Lab Smell Incorporated? Did you ever notice? It's like a cherry car deodorizer, only not." (to Nick, re: the smell in the lab)

Vachon: "Screed was right. You do smell like fruit."
Tracy (embarrassed): Must be my shampoo."
Vachon: "No. It's inside you. Every woman has her own scent. Her own flavor."

Tracy: "I mean, I know there are some disadvantages to getting involved with a vampire, sure, but dying young was not supposed to be one of them."
Vachon: "If it's any comfort, you know, I'm not actually young."

Vachon: "I'm the one usually left behind, Trace. In five hundred years, I've buried a lot of mortal friends."
Tracy: "So when does it get easier?"
Vachon (weak smile): "I'll let you know."

From Dead of Night

Tracy: "So, I'm guessing you're not much of a believer in ghosts?"
Nick: "I'll take the fifth on that one."

"I'll check around down here. And, hey, Nick--if I see anything weird, I'll scream."

(to Nick) "What if I told you I saw a ghost at Kessel House?"

"When I was little, a friend of mine was killed by a train. I was there. I saw it. I blamed myself. Last night, at Kessel House, that was her. And I saw her again, outside my window at home. It was her. It was Susan Feldman."

From Games Vampires Play

From The Human Factor

From Avenging Angel

From Fallen Idol

From Jane Doe

From Francesca

From Ashes to Ashes

Tracy: "Don't run me aroundhere, Vachon. You know what I mean. Evil's a part of you. That's why we'd never work."
Vachon: "What?"
Tracy: "It's in you. I can feel it and it scares me."

Vachon (in pain): "You have to do it. You have to kill me."
Tracy: "No."
Vachon: "I'll die anyway! I know that now! Please, Tracy."
Tracy: "No! Vachon, don't ask me to..."

(to Vachon, while holding his dead body in her arms) "I never got to tell you how I felt about you. But maybe you knew. I hope you did. (sighing) You changed me. You opened my eyes, and I'll always... (crying) And I'll always love you for that. (sighing) I'll take you to Screed. You'll be with your friend."

From Last Knight

"You could have trusted me." (Tracy's dying words, to Nick, as she realizes he is a vampire)
