Close Call
 
You drive.  I'll ride...in the trunk.
In the trunk?  Come on, Nick.  You're not that allergic
to sunshine.  A tan'll do you some good.  What's a little
sunshine?
I don't tan.  I don't burn.  I implode.
  -- Nick and Schanke, Close Call
 
Whatever gets you through the day.
  -- Schanke, Close Call
 
I took him home in the trunk of his car like he was so many
groceries.  I'm telling you, Natalie, he's just too weird!
  -- Schanke, Close Call
 
You know between you and me and the lamppost, I'm a little
ticked off at the guy!
  -- Schanke (about Nick), Close Call
 
Listen, in all the time you've known him, have you ever had
a feeling about him?
A feeling?
Yeah.  Like he's different.  A candidate for the laughing
academy, perhaps, a psycho?
  -- Schanke and Natalie, Close Call
 
Aside from the fact that I drove him home his morning in the
trunk of his car, I have the distinct thought that Nick Knight
is a little too gallant under fire.
  -- Schanke, Close Call
 
I'm telling you Natalie, he's getting real scary.  He acts like
he's got nothing to lose.  Maybe he thinks he can never be killed
or he never can die.
Oh come on, he's not that irresponsible!
He all but FLEW in front of my gun to make that collar, and I 
still don't know how he did it.  As a matter of fact, I ride
with him every night.  I put my life in his hands and I really
don't know that much about him, do I?  As a matter of fact, I'm
going to start asking some hard questions and find out who this
Detective Nick Knight really is!
Schanke, wait!
  -- Schanke and Natalie, Close Call
 
I do not want a partner who's an occupational safety hazard.  If
he's a certifiable nut case I think I deserve to know now.
  -- Schanke, Close Call
 
Come on Nick.  Come on.  Answer your damn phone Nick!
Checking up on your partner?
Yeah, he's not answering. He knows I've got it in for him.
Oh really.
Ya know, he's really starting to bug me!  He's always got to
be the first one in.  The first cop on the scene.  He hits
every beach like its Normandy!
  -- Schanke and Cohen, Close Call
 
I'll go around.
Around?  What the hell is around?
  -- Nick and Schanke, Close Call
 
I must have worked 52 arrests with the guy and he is the first
cop in on the scene.  I'm Lieutenant Tortoise and he's
Detective Hare!
  -- Schanke, Close Call
 
Don't get all soft and runny on me Captain.  I can cope.
Nothing sticks to teflon Don.
  -- Schanke, Close Call
 
And I thought this place was spooky at night.
  -- Schanke (about the Raven), Close Call
 
Your grandparents?
Yes, the resemblance is amazing, isn't it?
  -- Schanke and Janette, Close Call
 
So, in fact, Nicholas is the subject of your latest investigation?
Yes.  I came to talk to you Janette, cuz your his friend.
  -- Janette and Schanke, Close Call
 
I'm really concerned about Nick.  Something's not quite right
about him.  Something weird.
Nicholah?  Weird you say?
  -- Schanke and Janette, Close Call
 
Yeah, I mean in all the time that you've known him, have you
witnessed any bizarre things that he's done.  Any sort of
suicidal behavior?  Like hijacking a city bus, for example?
  -- Schanke, Close Call
 
Yeah, we got caught in a shoot out downtown.  Guy wouldn't be
taken alive, so I had to eighty-six him.
How many?
I had to kill him to stop him.  And I almost killed Nick in
the process.
Oh dear.
  -- Schanke and Janette, Close Call
 
Detective Schanke, listen to me.  Don't probe into Nicolah's
affairs.
Don't probe...
Go back to work.  Forget you were here.  Take the night off, 
you need a rest.
Need a rest.  Need a rest.  You're under arrest.  Anything 
you say will be used against you in a court...Janette?  Wha..
Have I been here a while?
  -- Janette and Schanke, Close Call
 
I have to wash the car.  I have to forget about flying.
  -- Schanke, Close Call
 
I'm telling you, Natalie.  SHE hypnotized me.  Nick too!
She hypnotized Nick?
No, no, no, no, no.  Nick did it to me.
OK, OK.  I'll bite.  Why?
I don't know.  It WORKED!.  They made me forget and that's
all I remember.
  -- Schanke and Natalie, Close Call
 
Hey, does anyone know why this guy would have blood in his
refrigerator?
Blood?
Yeah. Blood.
  -- Officer #1, Schanke, and Officer #2, Close Call
 
Gee.  Must be working on something real important to be here
during the day.  Must be some case.  Are these the clues?
John Doe 199, huh?  Allergies to sun.  Hypnotize.  Needs blood.
You must be looking for a vampire.  Right?
  -- Vera, Close Call
 
Janette.  Something wrong?
You'd better hope not!
  -- Nick and Janette, Close Call
 
Hello?  Yodalayheehoo.  Aloha?
  -- Schanke, Close Call
 
Oh!  What are you trying to give me, a heart attack?
Maybe.
You people make a habit of sneaking up all the time?
WE PEOPLE....?
  -- Schanke and LaCroix, Close Call
 
Nick, we have a problem.
Yeah, I know.  Janette told me.  We'll find him and
we'll deal with it.
  -- Natalie and Nick (about Schanke), Close Call
 
Ok.  I'm here because I want to talk about Nicholas.
What do you want to know?
Ok.  Is he a..is he a vampire? are you?
You tell me.
  -- Schanke and LaCroix, Close Call
 
Ok.  I know.  I know this is gonna sound crazy.  But lately
there's been a lot of weird stuff that just haven't been adding 
up.  Nick rides in the trunk.  He can't go out in the sun.  
One minute he's there, the next minute he's gone.  Like a bat!  
Did you know, get this, that we found blood in his icebox?
Human blood?
No.  He had blood from a steer.
Oh...
I know.  My sentiments exactly. That's what I said.  He says
he uses it for painting.
Raphael showed him that.
Huh?
  -- Schanke and LaCroix, Close Call
 
We got into a fire fight.  Nick was there.  He could tell you 
all about it.  I had to waste a guy.
An awful thing to waste people.
It is!  I killed him.  I had no choice.
  -- Schanke and LaCroix, Close Call
 
You know it would have been curtains....if Nick wasn't there 
to save my ass....Have I been an idiot.  Been running around
all day butting my nose into Nick's affairs when the guy
saved my life.  I'm a first class fool.
  -- Schanke, Close Call
 
Go home Detective.  Go home to your family and let Nicholas be
with his...us.  Janette and myself.  We're the only family Nick
has ever had.
What are you saying?  He's adopted?
In a manner of speaking.  Yes.
And..uh..well.. he's not a ...
What do you think?  Really?
  -- LaCroix and Schanke, Close Call
 
Detective.  You asked me if Nicholas is different.  Au contraire.
The Nicholas that I know is very much like you.  He doesn't like
to kill people, either.
  -- LaCroix, Close Call
