- Lanie Stieglitz: [Stieglitz, Stone's opponent of the week, has just realized that her client has been lying to her] I cannot and I will not perpetrate a fraud on the court. It's unethical and illegal. I'm not going to put you on the stand tomorrow, Mary, and I am not going to make a closing argument. And the jury is going to wonder why.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: Hey, remember you said the doughnuts didn't mean anything?
- Detective Mike Logan: Yeah.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: Well the fat cop with powder sugar on his blues said they drove past the bar at 2:15, his partner said they drove by at 1:45, half an hour before closing.
- Ben Stone: She fooled a lot of people, Elizabeth.
- Dr. Elizabeth Olivet: But not for the same reason she fooled me.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: [about Mike's jinx] Two partners shot, most cops see you as a black cat. Both my ex-wives are thrilled I'm partnered with you, they're under the delusion that I'm heavily insured.
- Detective Mike Logan: This is just temporary, Briscoe, as soon as Phil is off his back, your ex-wives are going to be very disappointed.
- Phil Cerreta: Mike, I'm not gonna be out on the streets with you anymore. What I'm saying is, as your partner, even with the physical therapy, I wouldn't be able to give 100%.
- Detective Mike Logan: Hey wait a sec, *any* percent you can offer is enough.
- Phil Cerreta: [shakes head sadly] Not to me.
- Detective Mike Logan: Briscoe, I don't know how you work, but it's not about the doughnuts.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: It is when he's got powdered sugar on his blues.
- Valerie Walker: [Briscoe and Logan are questioning her about being at a bar the night of the murder] What'd I do, dance naked with a lamp shade on my head?
- [giggles, then looks at them seriously]
- Valerie Walker: I *really* don't remember anything that night.
- Captain Donald Cragen: Councilman Levin just burned my ear for a half an hour making me aware of what Jimmy Scanlon has done for this city. Was I listening to that for nothing?
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: Duff's priors. It walks and quacks like a mob hit.
- Captain Donald Cragen: 11 arrests, numbers, extortion, assault...
- Detective Mike Logan: What's not on there is adultery. His wife said he greased his zipper.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: Hey, your Italians and Hispanics kill for love, but a Mick kills for money.
- Captain Donald Cragen: Tomorrow, do you think you could bring something else to the table besides ethnic slurs?
- Detective Mike Logan: [approaches Cragen in private, unsure about working with Briscoe] Hey, Donnie... listen, uh, what's the word? I mean, uh, when's Phil coming back?
- Captain Donald Cragen: What's your problem?
- Detective Mike Logan: Listen, it's not a problem...
- Captain Donald Cragen: You don't deal well with change.
- Detective Mike Logan: What do you mean?
- Captain Donald Cragen: I mean, I'm thinking back to when Phil came on. It's not always love at first sight with you.
- Detective Mike Logan: Look, I can handle it. I just want to know how long.
- Captain Donald Cragen: I want to know, how long is my mother-in-law going to live with us. I don't know, but I'm learning to enjoy her pot roast.
