Oscar, Meyer, Weiner (1993)

Dennis Franz: Det. Andy Sipowicz

Quotes 

• Det. Andy Sipowicz : Hey, did you know that New York City tap water tastes better than bottled water? That's not me saying that. That's independent testing.

• Simon Rickman : The man who robbed me was just under six feet tall, 160 pounds, peaches and cream complexion and tousled, strawberry-blonde hair. No scars or distinguishing marks on his face or arms, but he does have a pierced scrotum. He, uh, wears a little gold ball there.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : You got a good look?

  Simon Rickman : Oh, yes. From all angles.

• [on the value of a stolen Oscar] 

  Sammy Meyers : I've heard rumblings. Very preliminary. A colleague didn't have the item yet, but he'd been approached. He wanted to know a ballpark worth.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : Yeah, what would that be?

  Sammy Meyers : Twenty-five.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : Thousand?

  Sammy Meyers : You think that's inflated? When a matchbook John Lennon wrote "screw you" on brings in fifteen?

• Simon Rickman : Well, I get my Oscar back and lecture on free will

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : That's why this is a great police department.

• [entering the wrong apartment] 

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : Police!

  Rajib : [from the bathroom]  Be with you right away.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : Police! You come out with your hands on top of your head!

  Rajib : Please, I'm completing my business!

  [Andy opens the bathroom door and is surprised to find an older Indian man on the toilet] 

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : You Coleman?

  Rajib : Rajib!

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : [sniffing the air]  Oh, man. What have you been eating? Some kind of wild game?
