Jack McCoy : Our problem is how to make the case against Telford.
D.A. Adam Schiff : Make sure the jury knows he dropped the ball.
Jack McCoy : And we get a conviction for bad parenting.
D.A. Adam Schiff : He gave his son a sword, sent him out to practice neck chops.
Jack McCoy : Ah, bad parenting in the first degree.
D.A. Adam Schiff : His indifference created the risk. Only a matter of time before that kid attacked somebody.
Jack McCoy : OK, suppose we pull it off. Who's next, Adam?
D.A. Adam Schiff : What did Potter Stewart say about pornography?
Jack McCoy : I can't define what it is, but I know it when I see it.

Jack McCoy : Maybe you should try the case.
D.A. Adam Schiff : [laughs] I have to do all the work around here? You think he's innocent?
Jack McCoy : I don't.
D.A. Adam Schiff : Well, I'm sure you'll do fine.
