Abbie Carmichael quotes from Law & Order

Carmichael

She denied knowing her mom had Parkinson's, she lied about the money, she's 0 for 2 and counting.

McCoy

Getting her paws on that money is a pretty good motive for a murder.

Carmichael

Except it's her step-dad who pulled the trigger. Wow, what a cozy little family this is turning out to be.

McCoy

Once you turn to necrophilia, incest doesn't seem so bad.

Carmichael

Moore must be feeling pretty stupid sitting in Riker's while Debbie is out spending up a storm. He might be in the mood to deal.

McCoy

I'm not. Get a search warrant for her office and home. We find evidence they had an affair, they can both rot.

Schiff

Have you arrested this girl?

Carmichael

Not yet.

Schiff

Are you waiting for an invitation?

McCoy

It's possible she suppressed her memory of that night. It's possible she felt too guilty to fully participate in her own defense.

Carmichael

It's also possible that her lawyer isn't the idiot that we take him for. He held on to this until he thought it would do the most good.

McCoy

No, he's an idiot.

How much time will Andrews serve with good behavior?

Carmichael

Under a year.

Good, that means jail, not state prison. He'll serve it at Rikers. Let's hope he has a good immune system.

Carmichael

They tried the victim.

McCoy

And made a badge a license to kill.

If the case depends on the jury believing a career criminal who's cut a deal, I'd say we're in trouble.

McCoy

We have a defendant who left the country rather than stand trial.

Which the defense will attribute to a combination of panic and religious fervor.

Carmichael

We could also establish that he was stealing from the business.

A business his father half-owned.

McCoy

Are you suggesting that we offer him a deal?

After what we went through to get him back here? Not on your life!

McCoy

Man's dominion over the animals remains intact.

Carmichael

The jury decided to follow the law.

And a hero is born.

What should be the standard to take the life of a teenager?

Carmichael

Where I come from, it's where the crime committed is so vicious, so cruel, he forfeits the right to get any older.

Where I come from a person can't forfeit that right. We can only take it from him.

You know, this may come as a big surprise to everyone, but I loved Karen.

Carmichael

Killing someone is a pretty sick way of saying "I love you".

[about Semple] With what's waiting for him, it might have been kinder to give him the needle.

Carmichael

Either works for me.
