Fontana quotes from Law & Order

I never heard a woman talk so good about a man who done her so bad.

I love a public service homicide, don't you?

This is a crime scene. It says so right there on the tape.

[about rap music] Makes me wanna go home and listen to some Tony Bennett records.

[after McCoy tells him to be careful] You work your side of the street, Mr. McCoy, and I'll work mine.

[Interrogating a suspect] It's called "motive". M-O-T-I-V-E. Motive.

You need a license to drive a car, but they'll let anyone have kids.

You know, it's amazing. You gave this kid a life, somebody stole it, and you just don't give a damn. You're as dead as he is.

Lt. Van Buren

Can I help you?

I'm Fontana.

Lt. Van Buren

Oh, hey, Anita Van Buren. This is your new partner.

Green

Hey, man. Ed Green.

It's about time they gave me a partner with a little smooth.

When you were a kid, did you ever call your old man by his first name?

Green

Not unless I wanted to smell the Aqua Velva on the back of his hand.

Green

Robbery-homicide?

Robbery-suicide.

Green

That'd be a first.

This is a waste of my valuable time. I'm gonna have my lawyers make a complaint to the chief of police.

Hey, how come you rich guys always have to have your lawyers do your talking for you?

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.

You don't like me for this, do you?

I don't like you, period. But, for this? You tell me: who else should we like?

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.
