Mrs Griggs: Maybe if we knew exactly what you were looking for-
Logan: We wanna know who pulled the damn trigger! 'Cause it sure as hell looks like your Ronnie did it.
Mrs Griggs: [Turns slowly to Ronnie] Tell them, Ronnie
Ronald Griggs: [Smugly] No.
[Mrs Griggs stands up, raises her hand and slaps Ronnie fiercely]
Mrs Griggs: You think you can play this fool game with me?!

O.T.N. Executive: The public must understand that the Organ Transplant Network is the one true democracy. One of the few instances where money doesn't talk. At all.

Patrick McCarter: I'm no terrorist. I'm a soldier
Daniel Mallahan: What he means is, he is a man of conscience.
Stone: What he means is, he is the misguided, romantic dupe of those who consider him completely expendable.

Peter O'Farrell: If there's any crookedness, I'll buy the whole department dinner.
Logan: At these prices, you'll have to take out a second mortgage.
Peter O'Farrell: Only if I'm wrong.

Philip Nevins: Isn't it possible that pneumonia killed Suzanne Morton?
Medical Examiner: It's possible that death rays from Mars killed her. But I don't think so.

Pilefsky: You're bluffing.
Logan: Yeah, you're right. We'd be real upset if something happened to a piece of crap like you.

Reberty's Attorney: What's it going to take to make you happy, Stone?
Stone: The Mets in the Series, peace on Earth, and Dr. Reberty in Dannemora.

Robinette: At least we gave them justice.
Stone: Justice doesn't give you grandchildren.

Robinette: Plane lands, 2:45. Doorman says Detective Shearer and his wife got home at 4. He went upstairs, dropped his bags, left again 10 minutes later.
Det. Shearer: To get the drycleaning.
Benjamin Stone: After your honeymoon? That's very romantic. Paul?
Robinette: According to the doorman, Detective Shearer was gone for 3 hours.
Stone: Your drycleaner in Philadelphia?

Robinette: That's why we need a warrant.
Judge Fishbein: [laughing] A warrant. Sounds like a fishing license to me.

Robinette: We need motive.
Greevey: Who says the little son of a bitch needs motive?
Cragen: Max...
Greevey: [loudly and with anger. At each 'Bam' he mimes gunshot] What the hell's his motive for this anyway?! "He took my seat." BAM. "He looked at my girlfriend." BAM! "I need dem shoes." BAM!
Cragen: Max has been busting his chops on this case.
Robinette: I understand...
Greevey: Hey, I can apologize for myself, alright? Only I don't feel very apologetic! I'm fed up!

Robinette: You think I sold out?
Stone: Does it matter what I think? If it does I'll tell you, but it's something you got to decide for yourself.
Robinette: You got a ��shave yourself in the morning' speech?
Stone: Maybe. Do you think of yourself as a black lawyer, or a lawyer who's black?
Robinette: Depends on the context.
Stone: You make a decision based on something from within. You live with it, you examine it, it's all you got.
Robinette: You think by morning I'll come to love it?
Stone: No, but I don't think you'll have any problem with the guy in the mirror. See you tomorrow.

Robinette:Its a whole new concept: crime without punishment

Ronald Eaton: Another zombified soul casts his vote for order rather than justice. Negative peace over positive peace.
Robinette: Paraphrasing Martin Luther King's thoughts won't lend credence to yours. King walked with the angels...you'd slide in slime on your belly to get what you want.

Ronald Eaton: You look me in the eye and you tell me this system is just. This system is equal.
Robinette: At times the system stinks, Eaton. I know that as well as you do. But don't for one damn minute tell me that your self-aggrandizing polarization is going to solve the problem. Don't tell me that tearing down a 200-year old justice system, no matter how flawed, is going to alter the consciousness of a society. Now, we're past the separate drinking-fountain stage. We're past legal discrimination. We're at the hearts and minds stage. And believe me, there's no quick fix.
