- A.D.A. Abbie Carmichael: Sabo gunned down a woman in cold blood. Briscoe and Green went through hell to nail this guy.
- D.A. Adam Schiff: That's their job.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: You want to look over this DD-5 before I file it?
- Detective Ed Green: Sure. Lucky he 'fessed up.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Yep, lucky.
- Detective Ed Green: How'd you get it out of him so quick?
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: What's that mean?
- Detective Ed Green: I'm just saying it's pretty amazing. You're alone with the guy for ten seconds and he gives it up.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: You don't believe it happened?
- Detective Ed Green: Hey, I'm just asking how.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: I've been doing this for twenty-five years. I think I've earned the right not to be second guessed.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Here's our guy... Red Jacket - he's carrying heavy on the right side.
- Detective Ed Green: Hold on Lenny, we guess wrong, we spook the guy that bought Bobby's piece.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: [Exits car] It's not a guess.
- [Crossing the street...]
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Hey, You! Step over here. What's your name?
- Flaco Ochoa: They call me Flacco.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Flacco what?
- Flaco Ochoa: What's this about?
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: It's about the gun in your pocket.
- Flaco Ochoa: Whadyou got X-Ray eyes or something?
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Yeah, that's right... I got X-Ray eyes.
- [to Detective Green]
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Check his right pocket.
- Flaco Ochoa: Whoa, whoa You gotta be kidding me man!
- Detective Ed Green: I Wish I was...
- [retrieves gun]
- Flaco Ochoa: Wh-Wha, I didn't do nothing!
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Aww, Looks like a twenty-five
- Flaco Ochoa: Damn!
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Too bad, Flacco. You had to run into Superman today.
- Detective Ed Green: I heard the news. We get the gun, they toss it. We get the confession...
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: "We"?
- Detective Ed Green: I've been saying "we" to cover your ass, out of respect for you.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Well, I don't need that kind of respect.
- Detective Ed Green: Good. 'Cause I've been walking on eggshells ever since we caught this case.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: It's about as long as you've been pissing me off.
- Detective Ed Green: Pissing you off? Why? Because I don't blend in with the rest of the roaches?
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Oh, is that what this is about? Because you know that's not how I meant that.
- Detective Ed Green: No, no, no, I will tell you what I know. If it wasn't for your screw ups, we'd have nailed this guy a long time ago.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: My screw ups? Your stuff's been getting thrown out of court ever since you got here.
- Detective Ed Green: Well, maybe I take chances because my partner can't get it up.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Or maybe you just get off on taking chances.
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: [hearing the commotion] Briscoe! In my office.
- Detective Ed Green: Daytime stickup. Haven't seen one of those in a while.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Yeah. A real blast from the past.
- Marisol Benitez: [Briscoe and Green are searching her car] Hey, don't put your shoes on my seat.
- Detective Ed Green: Back seat's clean.
- Marisol Benitez: You satisfied now?
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: You like Pizza Land?
- Marisol Benitez: What do you care?
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Well, maybe you want to eat what's in the bag.
- [Lennie pulls a gun out of the bag]
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: .25.
- Marisol Benitez: That stupid Bobby, I'm gonna kill him.
- Detective Ed Green: Be our guest.
- Diego Garza: Should I say how I didn't mean to do it?
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: You mean how you only killed him because he wouldn't give you his watch? Yeah, put that in there, the D.A. would really like that.
- Detective Ed Green: Your boss witnessed a felony, Roger.
- Roger Meeks: What are you talking about?
- Detective Ed Green: The gun you sold Bobby Sabo?
- Roger Meeks: I'm gonna get fired.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: I don't really care. If you come clean with us, maybe you're not gonna get arrested.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Don't do me any favors.
- Detective Ed Green: I'm not. LaMotte's working a ten by six. I don't need a double shift tonight.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Yeah, nobody's calling you a liar.
- Detective Ed Green: I never called you a liar.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: The hell you didn't. What was all that back in the squad room?
- Detective Ed Green: You got it wrong, Lennie. I'm not the enemy here.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Yeah? I don't know what you are.
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: I just heard from the D.A. They cut a deal with Bobby Sabo.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: [sarcastic] No needle? Big surprise.
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: No, six to twelve.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: What, years or weeks?
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: Sabo gave up the Murray Hill rapist. They collared the guy two hours ago.
- [Briscoe and Green turn to leave]
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: And Lennie? McCoy says Sabo copped to the confession.
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: [sarcastic again] How nice of my pal Bobby. And tell him I plan on doing this job from my wheelchair.
- [Briscoe is in Van Buren's office after verbally sparring with Green over the failures in the Sabo case]
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: What's going on?
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: I'm done working with Green!
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: The hell you are!
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: I don't need him second-guessing everything I do!
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: Green's not your problem!
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Then what is my problem? You tell me!
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: That's what I'm trying to figure out!
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: You think I'm too old to cut it?
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: Whoa! Now where's that coming from?
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: From the flavor-of-the-month out there!
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: You've been here six years! You know I don't play favorites!
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: Well, six years should count for something more than my pension!
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: Look, I'm behind you, Lennie! But I believe this case is messing with you!
- Det. Lennie Briscoe: This case pans out whether I'm 25 or 75!
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: Right! I'm glad you feel that way... so, pull yourself together, because it isn't over!
