Falacci quotes from Law & Order: Criminal Intent

Logan

I know it's your day off, but it is what it is.

Trust me, I'll take a crime scene over playing a clown at the neighbor's kid's birthday party any day.

Did he say that I'm not a people person?

Logan

I'd let it go.

The hotel clerk doesn't remember who signed the register, but she took one look at Gerry's photo and said she's positive it wasn't him.

Capt. Ross

Because of his weight or his race?

Both. Their clientele is all, [in a breathy voice] "Anorexic models and Eurotrash named 'Serge.'"

Logan

[Looking at the elaborately bound victim] Wow. Somebody spent a lot of time tying her up before they strangled her.

Didn't just tie her up. Kinbaku. Erotic Japanese bondage with natural jute rope.

Logan

Whatever you say, Falacci.

[when she enters the room where Judge Burns sitting on his chair] Hey! What's he doing in here?

The Judge wanted...

He wants you to hose down the crime scene? Get him out of here, he's a suspect! [Campesi looks at Logan] Don't look at my partner – he's got my back, not yours.

Logan

It's all right, Campesi, go on, get him out of here. [to Falacci] Take a cigarette break, would you, Falacci? The last thing you wanna do is to piss off a Supreme Court judge.

Capt. Ross

[about removing the judge from the crime scene] You made the right call, detective, but this isn't Brooklyn North, this is Major Case. You're dealing with a higher class of criminal.

What are you saying, I should give him the run of the place?

Capt. Ross

[long pause] There's a protocol.....

When you secure a crime scene, really?

Capt. Ross

There's also a protocol with me, detective!

I don't need anybody telling me..... [Logan chuckles] What?

Logan

I'm just not used to being the voice of reason.

Logan

Look, there's more to life than just one case. Higher ups have an agenda. You want 30 years in? Deal with it.

Hey! People told me you were a hothead; guys like Hoyle you'd eat for breakfast. What happened?

Logan

[pulling out press clipping of the case that got him transferred out of homicide] After 10 years on Staten Island, you learn to pick your battles.

Logan

You don't drag a senior ADA into the station house.

You do if he's stonewalling!

Capt. Ross

Which is what happens when people throw stones.

[examining Traci Kwon's body at the crime scene] She still has her jewelry.

Logan

But no purse [looks up the stairs] and the apartment was ransacked. Kind of a mixed message, huh?

Who would do something like this?

Logan

I don't know. But I can promise you this: whoever did do this, we're gonna get them.

Thank you, detective.

Why promise something like that?

Logan

Because the scum who did this, if I can't get 'em, just give me the gold watch.
