Quotes 

• Russian woman : Marina. Strangled and raped. What is wrong with this country?

  Andy : What's wrong with this country? I'll tell you what's wrong; it's all these foreigners coming over here screwing it up!

  Det. Bobby Simone : Detective Sipowicz here is one of the few Native American Poles.

• Lt. Arthur Fancy : [an overweight woman has demanded to see Sipowicz]  Andy, there's no easy way to say this, but Jeri is having issues with Diane and Jill. She's demanding to see you.

  Andy : That ain't goin' to happen.

  Lt. Arthur Fancy : Diane and Jill think she's painted herself into a corner with manslaughter and it doesn't need to go that way. Anyway, she says either she talks to you or she lawyer's up.

  Andy : That's what she needs to do then. Maybe we don't do enough of that.

  [Looks at Simone] 

  Andy : See, this amuses you because you don't attract psychotics.

  Det. Bobby Simone : No, it doesn't. Well, yeah, it is amusing; but this could be real serious.

• Henry Coffield : I'm not a kid anymore, Simone. If you can't be kind about the people you feel kindness towards, you're no damn good.

  Det. Bobby Simone : The way I look at that, Henry: if we're still drawing breath, we have a chance to do something on our shortcomings besides piss and moan.

• Det. Bobby Simone : We got the weapon from your apartment there, Rick.

  Andy : Always a right move tossing the piece, Rick, though at the time it may seem wasteful.

• Det. Bobby Simone : What happened, Vince?

  Det. Vince Gotelli : Two guys came in the bar, ordered a drink, then pulled their guns and held up the place. Then all of a sudden they started shooting. I pulled my piece and shot back. I think I hit one, but then I went down.

  Det. Bobby Simone : But you weren't hit, were you?

  Det. Vince Gotelli : No, chest pains. One of the guys left holding his shoulder. I wonder why I got chest pains at that moment?

  Andy : Might be a sign from God to stay out of these titty bars, Vince.

• Det. Bobby Simone : How you been feeling, Vince?

  Det. Vince Gotelli : I told you. I have generalized coronary artery disease, abnormal in the thallium stress test, and now I'm having difficult urinating.

  Andy : Coronary system failing, urinary system failing. Now he's at the stage, you ask him how he's feeling, he tells you.

• Det. Bobby Simone : You were pushing it, now you're under arrest. You're a collar, you understand that?

  Richard Manzak : You guys are fags, right? You're fags from some women's group.

  Andy : That don't make us bad people.
