Quotes
-
A.D.A. Jamie Ross : You knew all along Tashjian killed Kaiser, didn't you?
[pause]
A.D.A. Jamie Ross : Don't worry: I'm not going to run to the Ethics Committee.
Jack McCoy : I didn't know with absolute certainty. One way or another, I had to get Tashjian on the stand.
A.D.A. Jamie Ross : Well, hats off!
Jack McCoy : Sometimes you have to make deals with the devil.
A.D.A. Jamie Ross : Just as long as you don't get your eyebrows singed.
Jack McCoy : Anyway, Tashjian owed somebody half a million dollars. I'm sure they'll be around to collect it one of these days.
A.D.A. Jamie Ross : And as for the Ethics Committee, you owe me one!
[Ross leaves. McCoy snickers. Cut to intertitle: "Sam 'Bunny' Russo is currently serving a sentence of life without parole. Three months after testifying against Russo, Steven Tashjian was gunned down outside his office. The killers remain at large. His assets, including his co-op, were liquidated to settle his debts".
