Ed Green quotes from Law & Order

Green

Mr. Whitestone, I hope you got a lot of scripts to read, because you're looking at some serious jail time.

You think so?

Think of it as research for your next role. Only, if I were you, I wouldn't invite a lot of roles for women.

Lt. Van Buren

27 eyewitnesses, and the only thing they agree on is "four shots fired".

Green

So, we're looking for a tall, white, Haitian, Hispanic midget with maybe an accomplice, who took the subway?

Or, according to the two starlets I interviewed, drove off in a blue SUV. By the way, they're going to make very believable police officers.

Green

If you don't talk, I'm sure Granados will.

I thought you don't know where he is.

Green

Oh, we're gonna find him. Doctors say in his condition he ain't gonna get that far.

[leans in close and whispers] You know what I've got here, tovarisch? Huh? In about ten seconds, I'm gonna start smilin' like a village idiot and peelin' off hundred dollar bills onto your shiny brass bar.

What are you talkin' about?

And then my partner here is gonna start droppin' "thank yous" and "tell us more" like there's no tomorrow.

Green

Which means, if your friends back there aren't deaf, dumb, and blind, you're gonna have a little trouble.

Don't.... I don't know why he was here. I put him on books as favor.

Green

A favor to who? Andropov? [silence] Where's Granados?

Here comes the first C-note. Is there anything you'd like us to tell your widow?

I have diplomatic immunity.

Green

For drug trafficking and murder? I doubt it.

[during a search of his apartment] You guys gonna put everything back?

Green

That's your problem.

Doesn't seem fair.

The Fourth Amendment protects you against unlawful search and seizure. It doesn't say anything about being neat.

Do me a favor and read this crumb his rights. I don't have the guts for it.

Green

Me, neither. But I don't want there to be any technical difficulties.

Green

Have a seat, Mr. Levin.

I have a meeting in an hour. [Green pushes him into a chair] I could reschedule if you think this is gonna take a long time.

How does 20 to life sound to you?

I didn't do nothin'!

Green

You run pretty fast for someone who didn't do nothin'!

I knew something was going down with his hauls.

Green

Who maintains the rigs?

I do.

Green

So when you were cleaning out blood, hair, loose fingernails from people who tried to claw their way out of a boiling hot trailer box, you classify that as "something going down"?

[while getting arrested] What kind of country locks up its patriots?

Green

The same kind that gives you the right to remain silent. Exercise it.

Green

Did Loomis give you a big Christmas bonus this year?

Yes, he did. But I still don't know where they went.

What's it about this time?

Green

The murder of Sonya Vasquez.

I got no connection to that!

You won't be upset if we don't take your word for it, will you?

[to Green] How many lessons are there?

Green

740.

I recognise the logo on this bra. Frisky Kitty. Lingerie shop off Times Square.

Green

Really?

I went there for my sister-in-law's bachelorette gift, but thanks for assuming I have crappy taste in lingerie.

My sweet 16, dad wouldn't even loan me the Buick.

Green

He obviously didn't love you.

I told him as much at the time.
