Louis Giambalvo: Dominic Bucci

Quotes 

• Det. Andy Sipowicz : You told me two and a half years ago when Jenny disappeared how much you blamed yourself for sending her to the bank with the money from the store.

  Dominic Bucci : I thought I was such a big man. Everybody in the neighborhood respected me so much. That would protect her.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : You feel like you might have cost your daughter her life.

  Dominic Bucci : Her life, yes.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : And if you could find her, you could correct that mistake. But it doesn't work that way, Mr. Bucci.

  Dominic Bucci : I hate myself. I lie awake at night sometimes doing that, you know.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : Yeah, I do know.

  [sighs] 

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : You gotta get on with your life. Take your time and money and do things for yourself, and for your wife, for other people... things that make you feel good again. And then if your daughter does show up, it'll be a blessing. And, if she doesn't, then you're doin' what you can to live.

  Dominic Bucci : Maybe you're right. I don't know.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : Knowing doesn't happen all at once. You have to grow into it.
