Benjamin Stone quotes from Law & Order

Do you know what this is?

It's a gun.

[sarcastically] Very good, can you spell gun?

Sure. D-E-A-L.

I see you've passed the spelling test.

I'm going to show you something that may belong to your ex-cellmate, Mr. Walker. Do you recognize it?

It's a gun.

[sarcastically] Very good, Cistal, can you spell gun?

Sure. D-E-A-L.

Schiff

She's what, a reporter?

Reporter? She does exploitive crap. All sizzle and no steak.

Logan

Hey, they don't play by the rules, why should we?

Because that's our job.

'Big Frankie', ha, ‘Dandy Don.'

D.A. Adam Schiff

You too can have monogrammed socks.

I inspect five buildings a day, five days a week, fifty weeks a year. So I missed a couple of violations, I'm human. You never lost a case, Mr. Stone?

Well, one mistake is human. Two is perhaps a lapse in concentration. Three is stupid, but the same mistake consistently over a period of two years indicates another form of human fallibility here.

Call Cragen and tell him to pick up Masucci.

Robinette

I don't give a damn. For spitting on the sidewalk.

Greevey

You haven't mentioned any incentives for cooperation.

No? Well...how is this: if your client doesn't start talking now, I'll tear his life apart.

I'm going for temporary insanity.

Yours or your client's?

Robinette

Aren't you always giving me the "You can't win every case" speech?

I don't mind losing, Paul.

Robinette

You could have fooled me.

What bothers me is 12 law-abiding citizens knowing a defendant is guilty and acquitting him anyway.

Robinette

They were flim-flammed by the angle of self-defense.

They knew they were being flim-flammed, and they still acquitted. That is frightening.

[on the witness stand] Some of my money in bank, yeah.

Some? Now, the bank records show that there was, last month, $6,011,301.26.

If you say so.

And the month before that, $9,615.

Sounds right.

A six million dollar difference, uh…good month at the discount store, sir?

D.A. Adam Schiff

A prosecution based on debt re-financing. That's going to get you real far with the jury.

I'll lay it out for them. I'll draw them a Monopoly board.

D.A. Adam Schiff

Yeah, I'd like to see them get from 'Park Place' to 'Go.'

I'm no terrorist. I'm a soldier

What he means is, he is a man of conscience.

What he means is, he is the misguided, romantic dupe of those who consider him completely expendable.

May I ask you a question, sir? How with the map of Donegal on your mug did you ever end up with a name like Stone?

Happenstance, sir. Same way you ended up with the name of a real Irish patriot.
