Dan Hurley: Your Holiness, Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yesh Tenzin Gyatso, gee it's so good to see you...
Dalai Lama: My religious name is Tenzin Gyatso, but you can call me Dalai, Dan!
Dan Hurley: Dalai Dan, that's funny, my name is Dan too! Are you any relation to the Black Dahlia? We have a Medford Historical Society monument for her on Salem Street http://www.bethshort.com/memorial.htm

Dan Hurley: Can I offer you a drink?
The Dalai Lama stares down Dan Hurley
Dan Hurley: OK, bad idea.
Dalai Lama: Why are there pair of eyes peering at me from window?

Dalai Lama: Strange, Double Dipping Donato is dating daughter of cop's brother?
Dan Hurley: Or sister, I dunno, you'll find Medford is very incestuous.
Dalai Lama: Indeed! I'm 77, how old is your boss?
Dan Hurley: Just about your age!
Dalai Lama: HE'S OLD ENOUGH TO BE HER GRANDFATHER!
Dan Hurley: Hey, absolute power corrupts absolutely, but bless his dishonest little heart,
Dan Hurley: You know, Dalai, that's not a bad idea...The Boston Globe quotes a D.A. ... “This is one of the largest criminal [problems] in the history of the Commonwealth,” said Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey.

Dalai Lama: a larger criminal problem than the regime of Frankie Foolishness?
Dan Hurley: Careful, Dalai...so what if Frank Took the Money!
Dalai Lama: I'm here to enlighten
Dan Hurley: We've already got the editor of Medford Information Central to enlighten...Martha Coakley's scared and
Dalai Lama: State Rep Donato is fuming! Well, it's Donato's own damn fault for stabbing that cordial tv host in the back!
