Ed Green: Visa reciept in the name of Arlene Pulaski.
Lennie Briscoe: I love it when they're stupid.
Briscoe: Blood. Wow, probably 10, 15 grand here.
Green: Where'd you get it, Bobby?
Ward: Bite me!
Briscoe: Go ahead. Bite him.
McCoy: What goes on inside you when you look at your wife? Knowing that you did it for nothing. Knowing that she'd rather die than acknowledge it was you.
Defense Attorney: We're not pleading Mr. McCoy.
McCoy: Why the hell didn't you just divorce her? Was the wound to your ego so big that she had to die?
Walter Grobman: I want it over.
Defense Attorney: Walter...
Walter Grobman: I want it over! I did it! I did it! I killed her. I did it!
Defense Attorney: Walter, shut up!
Walter Grobman: I did it! I can't take it anymore. I want it over!
Walter Grobman: No, what about my wife? You have fixed it so that she can't win her application, she'll be like... she'll be like that... that... she'll...
Carmichael: Civil court won't get word of Judge Pongracic's decision for weeks. It can all be over before then. We won't oppose her application.
Schiff: Denise Grobman passed away an hour ago.
Carmichael: Was her husband with her?
Schiff: Yes.
McCoy: I hope he takes that image with him to prison.
