Lupo quotes from Law & Order

I love small towns.

You know how many serial killers got their start in small towns?

I'm looking for a man who's all man.

Honey, I am more man than you can handle.

No paper, no plastic, which means no take-out, no magazines, no paper towels…

Lt. Van Buren

No toilet paper?

Left hand and a bowl of water. [Van Buren and Bernard just stare at him] Half the world still does it that way.

Lt. Van Buren

That's nasty.

Hey, so when you were overseas, doing intel in the boonies… ?

Left hand and a bowl of water.

Lt. Van Buren

That's nasty.

We'll call Rubirosa for a subpoena.

Well, actually, in law school, that's what we call not such a good idea.

[holds up legal papers from dead man's folder] Charlie's divorce papers. Unsigned.

Well, the divorce is final now.

I'm actually not surprised you're here.

Why's that, doctor?

I didn't see Ned this week. We had our session over the phone. There were circumstances that indicated that a phone session would be more... suitable.

Suitable? Meaning what? That you didn't want to be in the same room with a man who, speaking hypothetically, had just slit two people's throats?

[pause] Hypothetically speaking.

Anti-war terrorists.

Our First Amendment in action.

What, you're arresting me?

Yeah, we feel bad, believe me.

[about anti-immigration violence] I get it, the anger. Back in South Central L.A., young Black men can't get jobs because the bosses know illegals will work for four dollars an hour and no benefits, and that they're too scared to go to the police. So, yeah, round them up, treat them humanely, and send them back. And that fence? Dig deep and build it high.

There's a solution. It's called a Depression. Believe me, all those illegals are heading home now.

Screw Cooper and the fire truck he married! All I wanted was for my son to come home in one piece! [tears up] Excuse me. [leaves]

Connie

"Fire truck"?

My guess, all the firemen rode her.

Do you think New York City would hire a mentally ill woman?

It would explain a few things about the tax code.

Lt. Van Buren

So, when do I get to see my detectives on TV?

Lupo didn't wanna be on camera.

Bad beard day.

Lt. Van Buren

[smiling] I wasn't gonna say anything.

[answers his phone] Bernard. [pause] Who is this? [pause] Screw you! [hangs up]

Lt. Van Buren

I'm guessing that wasn't your mother.

Somebody called me a Nazi. You know, an hour ago, somebody called and said I needed to go on a diet.

Maybe that was your mother.

[about Carville] You ever watch her show?

Sure, when I'm not knitting booties for my cat.

:[examining Ramirez's body] School ID to Sunrise Academy. It's a few blocks that way. One of those charter schools.

Trying to help kids in the lousy neighborhoods. Give them a better education to break the cycle of violence.

Looks like they've got a little ways to go.
