GARETT: I collect dresses from every
country.

GARETT: I wear them in the privacy of
my own home--I'm shy.

called
into the doctor.
GARETT: Are you ready to turn and cough?
GARETT: (being photographed)

CHRISTINE: How long did they leave you
in the chains?
GARETT: Oh, I wasn't locked in; they were
draped.
"I love him!" (again, mocking the bit where Jim says 'Sandburg's life is at stake!' Everyone laughed and Rae gave him the hairy eyeball) "It's what they want to hear!" (more laughter) "Can't two guys just be buddies and still save each other?" (To which the entire back row muttered "No!")
"He has to make it romantic for me." (on the candles in the psycho's apt. in Cypher)

"You can hit three ugly ones as long as you hit one good one."

BETSY:"Yes, Garett's lunch, his new
car..."
"See what I do? I give blood!"

on his chest
BETSY: "Garett. Garett? Garett! Can we

BETSY: "So tell us what you were
learning."
GARETT: "I learned it's a kestrel, and
it's a bird."

paddle

GARETT: BINGO!
"It's three guys who get along together well, not a
testosterone-filled
environment - we talk, and we work out our problems, we 'share' with
each
other. I think people look at it and actually see two guys on network
television
saying, 'Hey, you're my friend and I love you,' instead of, 'Hey, let's
go out and have beer' or whatever. I just think it's natural."
-on The Sentinel
"We kiss all the time...just not on camera..."
-on Richard Burgi
"Jim and Blair have bonded intensely and have become more than just
friends. They're more like a guide and his follower and they sometimes
interchange these roles."
