Law & Order: Criminal Intent · Season 1
Logan. How come I never see you with the same partner twice?
Flaherty and I go way back. To one of the first murders in one of his many bars. Been so many, he probably can't keep track.
We're unlucky.
Kennedys are unlucky.
He tell you about the cop he shot?
[Discussing a bouncer named Goro.]
He didn't make an explicit threat we can hold him on.
You heard him, Wheeler. 'Curtis's death shall be avenged.' You don't call that a threat?
Could be, or could be the plot of one of the Mortal Kombat video games he got his name from.
Detective, what do you want me to do? Have the DA hold him on suspicion of being a large, scary black man?
You think all white guys who chew tobacco are buddies?
In Chelsea? Yeah.
[Discussing a victim whose illness contributed to his death, and whether his mistress knew his weakness.]
What did the ME say?
Any blow to the spleen would do it.
He was that sick? And she didn't know about it?
She knew it. Curtis told her. Guys use whatever they have to get over. They have a tragic story, a sickness -- even if they have a dead cat, they'll work it into their rap.
Heartwarming.
[Logan shrugs.]
[Giving a toast at a family dinner] I know some of you have two Thanksgiving dinners today, so I want to thank everyone for being here. My children, the mother of my children... [Glances sourly at ex-wife's boyfriend] ...Todd.
[Mrs. Goren is being wheeled on a gurney down a hospital hallway while Goren attempts to talk about the case on his cell.]
Bobby, Bobby, Bobby. I don't trust these people.
No, no, look. You've got the head radiation technician coming in to-- she'll give you the test you need--
[interrupting] Oh, please. Head technician? Do you really think they're going to bring in the head person? On, on, on Thanksgiving Day? No. No no. They'd never. They'll get some lackey they can push around.
So. Ashton. The women soldiers in Iraq. Treated as equals?
Truth is, sir, in Iraq the guys put the female soldiers into two categories. Sluts if they slept around, and bitches if they didn't.
Amanda. Which category did you put her in?
I say this with respect, sir. Amanda was a bitch.
Back home in our civvies? I wouldn't tolerate an affair. But when Amanda's in uniform, she's a soldier first.
And soldiers have sex with each other.
It has nothing to do with the real world.
Elaine said Carlo was old world, but he's ahead of my time.
He gets the culture Amanda's part of. Would she leave a guy like that at the altar?
My husband Joe, he was a cop. He gave me a taser gun once for our anniversary. Sometimes you want to be more than your job.
I take it Joe is an ex.
He died. 8 years ago.
Sorry.
What do you know about my daughter? What about what kind of father I am?
As little as you know about who I am.
[After Goren has a public tantrum in the squad room.]
What the hell was that, Bobby? You want to throw it all away? Just-- I know--
Back off.
[Goren steps into the elevator and leaves.]
[Goren trails Eames out of the Captain's office.]
It's hard to get a confession if he's capable of guilt. Maybe we should tell him he has nothing to feel guilty about?
[coldly] You do that. [She leaves him standing by his desk.]
[As Goren leaves the interview room] Good job, detectives. You can give me your paperwork--
[leaving] You can save it, alright? I'm leaving. You want to fire me, fire me. [He tosses his notebook on his desk on the way out the door.] I don't care.
You're not in blood with him.
In blood? Like a vendetta?
Older, from the 15th century Code of Lek.
Not up on that, Wheeler? Goren would've known.
