Max Greevey quotes from Law & Order

We're all one family here, Sergeant.

Greevey

You an only child? I got people in my family, I wouldn't believe ‘em they told me the sky was blue.

If you're wrong, and you go after cops...

Greevey

If I'm wrong, I'll go to the grand jury and say I killed the kid.

I had no idea You were a philospher,Max

Greevey

Just a former alter boy with a Gun

It's the last one, no more cops, it's too hard.

Max

Know why I wouldn't let go? Because there but for the grace of God go I, or any cop. You get caught, you get prosecuted.

Didn't know you were a philosopher, Max.

Max

Just an ex-altar boy with a gun.

Why don't you stick to police work, detective?

Logan

Why don't you stop trying to cover your ass, Mr. Babcock?

Greevey

Mike, Mike. Take it easy. [to Babcock] He never recovered from the nuns.

[about Logan] Are you in charge of this ape?

Greevey

My cross to bear.

Please. That was therapy.

Logan

For her or for you?

For her! In Reichian therapy, the patient has to--

Greevey

Really get to know the therapist, hmmm?

Greevey

[reading a personal ad] MBBF.

Logan

Male bisexual bondage freak?

Max

Take me off this one.

Max, you know I can't...

Max

I'm burned out. This thing disgusts me. This guy's pictures? Porn. If that's art, Hugh Hefner's Michelangelo.

Max, a man is dead here. You're the one saying it's not a suicide.

Max

What do you want me to do, lie? There was someone else there. Chances are, living that life, he'll be dead in a couple of years anyway. As far as I'm concerned, he's going to the same place.

What-what are you talking about?

Max

I'm a Catholic. Call me old-fashioned, but I still believe in sin. Remember sin? Right and wrong? I don't know if it's harps or pearly gates, but whatever it is, these freaks are not going to the same place you and I are, okay?

Wow! I can see this leading to a whole new penological outlook -- we will only pursue homicides where the vic died in a state of grace!

Max Greevey

Seventeen-year-olds shouldn't be doing the thing that makes babies.

Logan

And crooks shouldn't have guns. Get real.

Greevey

What if it was just you and Walker, alone in an alley, he had no gun, and was willing to surrender?

I'd shoot him in the face.

Look man, you know how hard it is to get work? I keep my eyes closed, I keep my job.

Greevey

What about your ears?

Sure, I hear stuff.

Greevey

What kind of stuff?

Like guys that talk don't talk for very long. Look, I've seen Godfather I, II, and III.

Greevey

Did you see anything unusual in the neighborhood this morning?

It's Greenwich Village, man. You tell me.

Greevey

[in a lot filled with exhumed corpses] What have we got so far?

Logan

Masucci's greatest hits.

Greevey

From '80 to '88, Beigal made The Post's 50 Worst Landlords list. Last two years, he's spotless.

Maybe he got religion.
