[edit] Quotes
"I inspect five buildings a day, five days a week, fifty weeks a year. So I missed a couple of violations, I'm human. You never lost a case, Mr. Stone?"
"Well, one mistake is human. Two is perhaps a lapse in concentration. Three is stupid, but the same mistake consistently over a period of two years indicates another form of human fallibility here."
"Such as what?"
"Greed?"
- - Laurel McGinty and Benjamin Stone
"You lost, Mr. Robinette. This is America. One strike and you’re out."
- - Judge Arnold Fishbein
"That's why we need a warrant."
"A warrant. Sounds like a fishing license to me."
- - Paul Robinette and Judge Arnold Fishbein
"What have we got so far?"
"Masucci's greatest hits."
- - Max Greevey and Mike Logan
"Call Cragen and tell him to pick up Masucci."
"For what?"
"I don't give a damn. For spitting on the sidewalk."
- - Benjamin Stone and Paul Robinette
"You're bluffing."
"Yeah, you’re right. We'd be real upset if something happened to a piece of crap like you. "
- - Joe Pilefsky and Mike Logan
"From '80 to '88, Beigal made The Post's 50 Worst Landlords list. Last two years, he's spotless."
"Maybe he got religion."
- - Max Greevey and Donald Cragen
"You ever hear of Don Quixote?"
"Did you ever hear about David and Goliath? And we have God on our side."
- - Max Greevey and Benjamin Stone
"Katherine Beigel did in ten seconds what we couldn't do for ten years. Put Frank Masucci out of business. Permanently."
- - Mike Logan
"Justice is blind, detective. Nobody said it was fair."
- - Benjamin Stone
