- D.A. Adam Schiff: Nice to know the entire criminal justice system rises or falls on the decency of a Mike Bodack.
- Ricky Garcia: [Having just been instructed to write down his confession] Can I say how I didn't mean to... do it?
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: You mean how you only shot him because he wouldn't give you his watch? Yeah, the DA will love that.
- Jamie Ross: Mr. Bodak, if you can identify this man, we can re-arrest him.
- Mike Bodak: Two days out of jail and you want me to save your ass? Tell your bosses it'll be 20 years before I owe them anything.
- Jamie Ross: You don't owe them. And since you barely knew Matthew Sherman, I guess you don't owe him either.
- Mike Bodak: Hey, who owes me, Ms. Ross? You act like that other stuff never happened!
- Jamie Ross: I'm sorry.
- Mike Bodak: Yeah, you're really good at that, saying you're sorry.
- Jamie Ross: I actually do feel sorry for you - a decent guy who got screwed. But when a decent guy has the opportunity to put a killer behind bars, he stands up.
- Mr. Shuman: There's still the confession, your honor. If my client hadn't been confronted with the illegally seized evidence, he never would have confessed.
- Jack McCoy: Your honor, under Frazier v. Cupp, the police are permitted to LIE to a suspect to extract a confession.
- Mr. Shuman: Well, then they should have lied instead of violating my client's rights.
- Judge Aldo Ianello: I'm afraid Mr. Shuman's right, I'm going to have to suppress it. I'm due in court...
- Mr. Shuman: One more thing, your honor.
- Judge Aldo Ianello: [sighs] What, Mr. Shuman.
- Mr. Shuman: My client's sitting in Rikers. All they have is a wallet. It's not enough to sustain Murder Two.
- Jack McCoy: We're developing other evidence.
- Judge Aldo Ianello: Well, when you do, you can re-arrest Mr. Garcia. For now the charges against him are dismissed.
- Joostens: You must be out of your mind if you thought we'd agree. Mike's not saying word one at your murder trial unless he gets full immunity on these charges
- Jack McCoy: The Bronx ADA won't agree to that.
- Joostens: Then you have a problem, McCoy.
- Jack McCoy: Mr. Bodak, you promised to testify.
- Joostens: He didn't promise to incriminate himself for bookmaking! Mike, anything you say at the murder trial the Bronx DA can use against you.
- Jack McCoy: I'l.l do everything I can to protect you on the stand, but I need you on the stand!
- Joostens: All right, we're done talking, McCoy.
- Jack McCoy: Mr. Bodak...
- Mike Bodak: What? What am I supposed to say? Look where I am. They want me to finger Ray D'Antoni, Mr. McCoy. They want me for that, you want me for Garcia... I'm gettin' killed here!
- Jack McCoy: I know.
- Mike Bodak: I don't understand. I just helped a guy change a tire. I don't get it.
- Jack McCoy: You help me, Mr. Bodak, and I'll help you.
- Joostens: I don't think he can stand much more of your help.
- Jack McCoy: Fine. Listen to him. Stay here and stand trial for bookmaking while Ricky Garcia is acquitted for lack of evidence.
- Joostens: All right, that's enough, McCoy!
- Jack McCoy: You'll be in jail, and he'll be out there doing drugs and killing people. It's your choice.
- Joostens: It's too risky, Mike.
