Quotes 

• Cally Lonegan : I know you. Wait a minute... don't tell me, I'll get it. You collared me, long time ago. I was a kid.

  Cally Lonegan : Hey, like I told the judge at the time, I just happened to have that gas can in my hand. You waltzed in, slapped the cuffs on me, and put me in the paddy wagon. I guess you can't say paddy wagon anymore, huh? Politically incorrect.

  Ed Green : That's cute. From arson to murder.

  Cally Lonegan : Your friend doesn't understand the lubricating value of small talk, does he?

  Lennie Briscoe : What can I say? He's a social liability.

• Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers : Margaret Sikorsky, 24. OD'd. Death resulted from a lethal combination of high potency cocaine and several prescription drugs. I can get you a copy of this.

  Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers : Same as everbody. She died

  Buddha : All day.

  Ed Green : Yeah, right.

  Lennie Briscoe : Hey, hey! If can't trust a guy named Buddha who can you trust? Come on.

  Cally Lonegan : You guys in a hurry? How about a cappuccino on the house?

  Lennie Briscoe : Let's get in the car...

  Ed Green : That cabbie was working double shifts so he could get his family out of a war zone!

  Cally Lonegan : I sympathize. I know what it to sacrifice for your family.

  Ed Green : Who told you who the witness was?

  Cally Lonegan : I don't know the gentleman to whom you're referring.

  Ed Green : Settle up, because you're done. Settle up, believe that!
