Quotes[]

Benson: Where do you live? If you can't tell us where you live, we can provide you with an address.

Ted Bolger: Who is he?!
Odafin Tutuola: That's my Jew. Where's Kanick?
Munch: Shalom.

Munch: Your Jew? Your Jew? What if I called you 'my boy'?!
Tutuola: I'll be your boy, John.

Lorna Frankel: Hey, you can't arrest them. This is a free country!
Tutuola: No, it's a democracy, and the majority of us don't like what's going on here.

Ted Bolger: I'm callin' the police.
Tutuola: What, so you can show 'em all your cocaine?

[on "tuning up" suspects]
Munch: I don't do that anymore. I'm old and it's tiring.

Cragen: The girl O.D.'d and died alone. Her father, a decorated cop, 30-year career, over, no pension, his family in shambles. But you know what really, really scares me? That all you people are concerned about is some lying, murdering sack of crap.
IAB Officer: In this country, that lying, murdering sack of crap has rights too, Captain.

Stabler: Tito, this is Detective Benson. Heard you wanted to help.
Tito Frank: Nobody's talking to you and a mall queen. What about the black chick?
Benson: The black chick has other duties.

Tito Frank: Nobody knows I have a camera.
Stabler: Well, I can keep a secret if the mall queen can.
