Detective Lennie Briscoe : Legacies! I wish I had a legacy.

Clarissa Wagner : For months we worked like maniacs to get Chloe into Knowles. Extra tutors, the interviews, the tests...
Detective Lennie Briscoe : Sounds like a lot of stress.
Clarissa Wagner : Valium helps.

Clarissa Wagner : Well, you're never too young to learn how to cope.
Detective Ed Green : It's only kindergarten.
Clarissa Wagner : It's not just kindergarten - it's the rest of her life. The right prep school leads to the right college, the right job, the right career, the right husband. It's a carefully calibrated ladder. And if you miss a step - excuse me, that's the caterer, I'll be right back.
