Jerry Orbach: Detective Lennie Briscoe

Quotes 

• Lennie Briscoe : [after interviewing Ron Weber]  If he loved his kids that much, he'd have been home to tuck them in.

  Detective Rey Curtis : Yeah? You tell me **you** never drank too much and blacked out.

  Lennie Briscoe : Hey -- I missed the whole Carter administration, but I was always home for breakfast.

• Sergei Yentakov : No hard feelings. Mrs. Weber did what she had to do.

  Lennie Briscoe : Yeah, except in this country, her decision's supposed to be final. You're not supposed to offer her money to change her mind.

  Sergei Yentakov : No, no, no, detective. The wrong way around. Mrs. Weber came to me. For $10,000, license would be mine. Like I told my wife: the old country, the new country, are not so different after all.

• Mark Levinsohn : I didn't realize that he didn't tell Joyce. At a dinner party I mentioned to her how sorry I was. How was I to know he didn't tell her? I mean, he only had two weeks left.

  Lennie Briscoe : How'd she handle it?

  Mark Levinsohn : You ever been married?

  Lennie Briscoe : Point taken.

• Lennie Briscoe : [referring to Ron and Joyce Weber]  He's a drunk, and she handles licenses to sell booze -- it's a marriage made in heaven!

• Detective Rey Curtis : You know what I'm thinking, Chester? I'm thinking that maybe you thought you'd help yourself to Mrs. Weber's jewelry.

  Chester Manning : Really? Now why would I do a thing like that?

  Lennie Briscoe : Because you got to know how to read to check out the help wanteds!
