- Mike Logan and former tenant

"I've always liked graveyards."
"Let me guess; a nice, quiet place where you can contemplate your insignificance?"
"No... every spring when I was a boy my mother would take us out to my grandfather's and grandmother's grave. It's an old world thing. She'd plant for flowers, say some prayers... then we'd spread a blanket and have a nice picnic."
"A picnic on your grandparents' grave?"
"Well, yeah, were we going to picnic on the graves of someone else's grandparents?"

- Phil Cerreta and Mike Logan

"You can't keep a kid clean and dress him in clean clothes if you don't have a home."
"There's no sign of exposure, he must have been covered. What's a kid like that doing out in the cold?"
"What's any kid doing out in the cold?"

- Phil Cerreta and E.R. Resident

"It's entrapment. You offered a bribe."
"You can lead a horse to water, you can't make him steal it."

- Boxer's Lawyer and Paul Robinette

"The building's half-empty, the place is a wreck, the landlady wants to renovate. You get a message from that?"
"The message I get is that the landlord would be thrilled if her tenants left."
"And maybe the heat was off accidentally on purpose."

- Mike Logan and Phil Cerreta

"I don't believe this. A baby dies in one of your buildings, and you blame the rent laws?"
"For destroying the value of my property, yeah."

-Benjamin Stone and Iris Corman

"I put a chair against my door, middle of the night, boom - the doors down and that creep Turner, he's in my living room."
"Now is he angry with the whole world, or is it just you?"
"C'mon that guy's a tenant like I'm the Queen of England. I never saw him at night, what like he's sleeping somewhere else."

-Mike Logan and Former Tenant
