Quotes[]

Rey Curtis: Guy protects his turf.
Lennie Briscoe: He probably pees a circle around his desk every morning.
Stanton's Attorney: The statement says it all. One dope dealer implicates the other. Don't worry, Miss Carmichael, we won't insist on an apology.
Abbie Carmichael: And none will be forthcoming.
We can't all be Mark McGwire.

–Jack McCoy

Rivera: You going take the word of a dope dealer over a cop?
Rey Curtis: Wearing a badge doesn't make you a cop. You let your snitch take a bullet.
