TV show quotes
You're under arrest.
Arrest? For what?
Rape.
Of that boy? He's as queer as a $9 bill. Whatever he got, he wanted.
Not him - of Eddie Thorpe.
You can't just come in here and start making accusations.
We're not. Eddie is.
Eddie? You think he's got the balls to testify with me staring right at him?
Not when he first got here, but you spent a few years toughening him up. Stand up. Let's go, coach. [Fin handcuffs him] Take it like a man.
[of Amaro and Rollins] Those two, I wish they'd just get a room already.
I'll pretend I didn't hear you say that!
[to Rollins] Whatever you're doing, I want you to stop now; I am not ready for another partner!
You want my source's name? I'll give it to you. Write this down, it's a funny name: G-O-space-F-U...
I got it, Jimmy, I got it.
Tutuola? Two T's. Two U's.
One ola.
Don't ever cry for Jimmy Mac. I always land on my feet. I'm 55 years old, my profession is dying, my ex-wives all hate me, my credit cards are maxed out because I've got three kids in college, and I've never felt better in my life.
[after he hears what Jenny's husband has done to her] All right, two choices: I go beat the crap out of this guy, or we call Barba.
You're smiling, Barba. Why is that freakin' me out?
You can't be in charge of a man hunt when you are the target of the man you are hunting!
You seeing a therapist? Please, promise me you'll do that. He probably sits there with you, tells you that you're working through it, right? "You can be whole again, Olivia." Well, he's lying. What I do, and I've seen this in the victim impact statements, nobody ever recovers from.
This is the last thing you're going to think about before you die. The last thing you're going to see.
Lt. Murphy, what is the important thing you want the grand jury to hear?
I know for a fact that Sergeant Benson's televised confession was not true. I know, because I ordered her to make the so-called confession. She did not commit police brutality, nor did she perjure herself. It was a gambit. A police tactic to lure the weasel out just enough so we could get him.
Thank you, Lt. Murphy.
I don't even know why we're here! Sergeant Benson performed an act of extraordinary bravery. She singlehandedly confronted a career sociopath who raped and tortured elderly women, little girls. He killed cops and innocent civilians. You've heard days of testimony regarding the sergeant's actions, but has the prosecutor discussed Lewis' conduct at all?
Lt. Murphy!
His history of barbarism? Lewis spent his entire life sadistically inflicting his power over people! Thanks to Sergeant Benson, he's where he should be! William Lewis will never hurt anyone ever again, unless you allow him to exert his power over you.
[Benson has been cleared]
It was the truth that will set you free.
That's not what I heard.
Well, there are little truths, and there is the larger truth. I told the larger one.
Kathryn is just trying to get back at me for my decision to uncouple.
Was that before or after she caught you in bed with her little sister?
[Maddox's maid has gone back on her testimony]
Dohna was crystal clear when I talked to her. Frank must have gotten to her.
How?
She's Tibetan; for all we know, he called the Dalai Lama.
