Quotes[]
- Lennie Briscoe: They've got 2,000 members in Manhattan alone. I didn't know we had that many animals.
- Mike Logan: You oughta ride the subways.
“ | What's the difference between a Stalin purge and a Walsh midterm? Stalin tried to re-educate you before he killed you. | ” |
–Susan Boyd |
“ | She may act and look normal, but talk to her about the affair and you'll probably learn that she's getting coded messages from the pattern of his ties. Things as unrelated as his expense report, a song on the radio. | ” |
–Dr. Elizabeth Olivet describes Susan Boyd's mental state |
“ | Smart and crazy. That's a hell of a pair. | ” |
–Lennie Briscoe at Susan Boyd's home. |
- Benjamin Stone: She uses an out-of-date prison library, and her work is better than anything I've ever seen from a Wall Street law firm.
- Adam Schiff: The truth is ugly, so we put our prophets in prison.
- Benjamin Stone: Oscar Wilde?
- Adam Schiff: Charles Manson.
