- Max Schaeffer: They think I killed Mike.
- Leon Storch: They do? You didn't, did you?
- Max Schaeffer: No.
- Leon Storch: Well then just tell them the truth! I never saw anybody get hurt by the truth!
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: [watching through the mirror] This man says he's an attorney?
- A.D.A. Jamie Ross: Suspects are entitled to a lawyer, not a good lawyer.
- Prostitute: [in scotch section of liquor store] Lot of good labels up there. It'd be nice to share a taste.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: You asking me for a date?
- Prostitute: My mama told me never to date a cop. They fool around on you.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: [Shows her photo of victim] How about this guy? Anybody around here date him yesterday?
- Prostitute: I didn't, but he's cute.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: You've been at this too long, honey. He's dead.
- Detective Rey Curtis: [Referring to the victim] Hey, here we go. Michael Webber. Outstanding warrant. He's a wanted man.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: Who wants him? The FBI? The Mafia? Fidel?
- Detective Rey Curtis: Worse: ex-wife. The warrant's from family court. Webber v. Webber. He owed Mrs Webber for alimony and child support.
- Detective Rey Curtis: How many child support payments did you ever miss, Lennie?
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: My ex just kept my checkbook. If I ever forgot, she knew how to forge my signature.
- Detective Rey Curtis: Having a child sick with leukemia, waiting for a bone marrow donor, if it'd been me, I would've shot Weber and scraped his bone marrow out myself.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: I don't think that's how they do the operation, Rey.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: [reciting suspect's criminal record] Pogosian, Peter: grand larceny auto, grand larceny auto, grand larceny auto...

- Jack McCoy: We already got the father.
- A.D.A. Jamie Ross: [Referring to Arlene Webber] But she's guilty too.
- Jack McCoy: We put her in jail, her son dies alone.
- A.D.A. Jamie Ross: Everybody's got a sad story.
- Jack McCoy: It won't be an easy case to make. Webber's dead. Her father won't talk.
- A.D.A. Jamie Ross: We can look for other evidence.
- Jack McCoy: You feel burned?
- A.D.A. Jamie Ross: You feel sorry for her?
- Jack McCoy: Call me a sentimental fool.
- [long pause]
- Jack McCoy: There's no statute of limitations on murder.
- [picks up file on the case]
- Jack McCoy: We'll keep it. Right on top of the pile.
- [cut to closing credits]
- Detective Rey Curtis: You know, when we were in Billy Weber's hospital room, he had a brand new video game system.
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: Oh, Nintendo CD-Rom?
- Detective Rey Curtis: Yeah, kid had a bunch of new games.
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: Ooh, Crash Bandicoot?
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: Excuse me, young parents? My daughter's idea of high tech toys was Barbie's convertible.
