Quotes[]

Rey Curtis: Christina Talbert, Thomas Horton, you're under arrest for murder.
Lennie Briscoe: Don't worry, somebody will take notes for you.
Only stupid girls get pregnant. It's embarrassing.

–Christina Talbert

She's a narcissistic bitch. Forget about remorse. To her, that baby was like a peach pit passing through her system.

–Dr. Emil Skoda

Mr. Talbert, I'm having you arrested pending a contempt hearing. I've had with him, his daughter, and her boyfriend. If I could indict him as a co-conspirator, I would. This baby is dead. I hope they all go to jail for it. Place this man under arrest and get him out of my office.

–Jack McCoy arrests Warren Talbert for contempt

Jamie Ross: A baby's dead and no one's responsible.
Adam Schiff: No one was responsible when it was alive, either
